The Green Riband is awarded for:

1. The fastest circumnavigation of the globe solely using commercial hydrogen age transportation — specifically hydrogen fuel cells and associated wind and solar technologies.

2. Competitors must cross all meridians and complete a minimum distance of 22,000 miles (the length of the 52nd parallel) which London resides.

The holder of the Green Riband will be acknowledged as a leader of the hydrogen age.
To date, no challenges have taken place, but it is estimated that a challenge using today's technology would take 50 days.
