The Cruise Division of MSC Group has reaffirmed its pledge to achieve net zero emissions from its cruise operations by 2050 with hydrogen to play a key role.
With the Cruise Division of MSC Group previously revealing its intention to participate in the development of a hydrogen-powered cruise ship, the group reaffirmed its commitment to developing hydrogen shipping solutions.MSC Group is teaming with Snam and Fincantieri to design and construct the hydrogen cruise liner which would additionally become a world first, the group said.
To achieve this, the groups will arrange ship spaces to accommodate the necessary hydrogen technologies and fuel cells, identify technical parameters of onboard systems, calculate the potential greenhouse gas emissions savings, and provide a technical and economic analysis of hydrogen supply and shore-based infrastructure.
In doing this, the shipping industry could gain a new pathway for hydrogen technologies with the clean energy carrier boasting many benefits that have captured the interest of the maritime sector.
Speaking on its commitment to net zero by 2050, Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman of the Cruise Division of MSC Group, said, “As a family business with over three hundred years of maritime heritage, we have always felt a deep responsibility towards our marine environment and our planet.
“Today we are taking our commitment one step further by embracing a net zero emissions future within the next three decades - link - George Heynes - link - more like this link
