In 2019 AIDA Cruises once again took a technological leap into cruises emissions neutral by commissioning AIDAnova, the world's first LNG-powered cruise ship, which received the Blue Angel seal from the German federal government in recognition of its design of environmentally friendly ship.
Thanks to the new design of the ship, the use of LNG and other measures to reduce energy consumption in the sectors of the hotel, catering and leisure industry, CO2 emissions per person per day on board AIDAnova could be reduced by around 55 percent to 27 kg in 2019 compared to average emissions of the fleet (59.8 kg) during 2018.
The industry called it a game changer because AidaNOVA runs on a different type of fuel than its predecessors: liquified natural (fossil) gas, aka LNG
https://perma.cc/BZP7-9M8CThis report analyses the possible impacts of decarbonising EU related shipping on the primary renewable energy production and concludes that a mix of alternative zero emission technologies including battery- electric, liquid hydrogen and ammonia would cause the least additional strain on the broader energy system.
Even though a technology mix of batteries, liquid hydrogen and ammonia appears to be an optimal solution, the impact on the future EU renewable electricity production should not be underestimated.
Furthermore, the theoretical climate neutrality of synthetic methane would not be achieved if, as with LNG, methane leakage and slip were to take place during the transportation, bunkering and on-board combustion of the fuel.
Almost 30% of these emissions arise from ships transporting passengers, while container ships, together with oil and chemical tankers were responsible for 46% of the total reported emissions.
Ships having average higher emissions per ship: e.g., passenger ships, ro-pax ships
No matter what, we CANNOT ignore that 🚢 or 🛥 is just pollution!
