狂欢节公司的哥斯达黎加集团开始使用生物燃料

Initiative to test biofuels represents another major milestone in company's decarbonization strategy, with AIDAprima from AIDA Cruises becoming first larger-scale cruise ship to be bunkered with blend of marine biofuel, made from 100% sustainable raw materials

意大利热那亚,2022年7月25日/ 3BL Media/ - 宣布新的脱碳功能几周后,Costa Group - 欧洲领先的邮轮运营商,其两家公司,Costa Cruises和Aida Cruises,以及一部分Carnival Corporation & plc(NYSE/LSE:CCL; NYSE:CUK)是世界上最大的邮轮公司 - 宣布将开始在其AIDA Cruises船之一上测试Biofuel,这是其持续的可持续发展努力又向前迈进的又一步。金博宝怎么注册

作为其二氧化碳的一部分(CO2) emissions reduction efforts, and with Dutch biofuel pioneer GoodFuels as its partner on the project, AIDAprima on July 21 became the first larger-scale cruise ship to be bunkered with a blend of marine biofuel, which is made from 100% sustainable raw materials, such as waste cooking oil, and marine gas oil (MGO), during its layover in Rotterdam. AIDAprima is currently sailing on seven-day voyages from Rotterdam to popular destinations in Western Europe and to Norway from/to Hamburg.

The current project represents an important milestone in Costa Group’s decarbonization strategy, which includes testing technologies and processes to improve the efficiency of the existing fleet.

With the successful start of biofuel usage, the initiative aims to demonstrate that gradual decarbonization is possible, even on ships already in service. At the same time, a key prerequisite for using biofuels is that it can become widely available on an industrial scale and at marketable prices.

In addition to the use of biofuels, Costa Group’s efforts include the installation of the first fuel cell on board a cruise ship (AIDAnova) and the commissioning of what is currently the cruise industry’s largest battery storage system with a capacity of 10 megawatt hours on board AIDAprima. Costa Group is also focusing on the expansion and increased use of shore power in ports where the shore-side infrastructure is available.

Costa Group以前曾与Rostock大学的研究合作伙伴一起测试了在海洋柴油发动机中使用再生生物燃料的使用。现在,第一次推出已经在常规的船舶运营中进行,与Goodfuels的合作将长期发展。

通过几项短期,中和长期战略计划,Costa Group正在积极贡献实现联合国可持续发展目标和欧洲绿色交易脱碳目标。

多年来,Costa Group通过稳步开创了其新船和现有船舶的先进技术,一直领导全球邮轮行业的可持续创新。该公司是第一个引入液化天然气(LNG)推进的公司(最先进的燃料技术,可减少排放量),其中有四艘船在Costa Group Fleet中使用。大多数Costa集团船都配备了岸电功率,在可用技术的港口中排放量为零。

总体而言,狂欢节公司继续其持续的能源效率投资计划和减少燃油消耗的努力,包括自2016年以来对能源效率提高的3.5亿美元投资,以及该公司的车队优化策略和更有效的行程的设计。与2019年相比距离旅行。

作为其长期可持续性计划和愿景的一部分,狂欢节公司已致力金博宝怎么注册于实现其2030年可持续性目标和2050年的愿望,其中包含了六个关键的可持续性重点领域。这些领域包括气候行动;循环经济;可持续旅游;身体健康和福祉;多样性,公平和包容;以及生物多样性和保护。

Among these priorities, the company has committed to reducing carbon emission intensity by 20% from its 2019 baseline by 2030, supporting its efforts and aspirations to achieve net carbon-neutral ship operations by 2050. Overall, the company’s highest responsibility and top priority is compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of its guests, the people in the communities its ships visit, and its shipboard and shoreside personnel.
