In Florida, Royal Caribbean Group said it is building on its waste management practices by introducing the next generation of technology.
These tools range from waste-to-energy systems, food waste applications and an expanded network of green hubs, the group said.
Debuting this year, on two of Royal Caribbean Group’s newest ships, will be what it claims to be the cruise industry’s first systems to turn solid waste directly into energy onboard, the company added.
The systems, Microwave-Assisted Pyrolysis (MAP) and Micro Auto Gasification (MAG), debuting respectively on Royal Caribbean International’s Icon of the Seas and Silversea Cruises’ Silver Nova, will take waste on board and convert it into synthesis gas (syngas) that the ship can directly use as energy.
