The International Maritime Organization will require carbon neutrality in 2050. So what will the cruise ships of tomorrow look like? Elements of response with Noé Poitevin.
The ship Euribia, “331 meters long, is built by the sector giant MSC, and last May, according to the company, this liner carried out the very first net zero emissions cruise in the world.indicates Noé Poitevin, Friday October 27, on the set of 20 Heures de France 2. “MSC is banking on a special fuel, bio LNG (for liquid natural gas). It avoids almost all sulfur and nitrogen emissions and reduces CO2 emissions by 20%.“, describes the journalist.
Ponant, the boat of the future?
A priori good news, “ostensibly“, underlines Noé Poitevin. “A greener fuel than the others but in reality much more polluting, because it is largely composed of methane, which has a warming power up to 80 times greater than that of CO2“, says the journalist. What could be more virtuous? “The boat of the future is perhaps an XXL sailboat, designed by a French company, Ponant. It should see the light of day by 2030. Objective: zero carbon emissions“, specifies Noé Poitevin.
