A subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, AIDA Cruises, has set sail towards a greener future, receiving a prestigious environmental award for its pioneering battery storage system. Installed in 2022 and rigorously tested throughout 2023, this next-generation technology boasts a 10-megawatt hour capacity. This translates to the ability to power AIDA’s ships and achieve net-zero emissions for designated periods. This groundbreaking system exemplifies AIDA’s unwavering commitment to significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its entire fleet.
Carnival Corporation itself has also been recognized for its aggressive approach to tackling food waste, a major environmental concern within the cruise industry. The company has implemented a multi-pronged strategy, strategically investing in innovative food waste management solutions. Biodigesters and dehydrators are now playing a crucial role onboard Carnival Corporation’s ships. These technologies facilitate the natural breakdown and responsible disposal of unused food, significantly minimizing the company’s overall “foodprint.”
The effectiveness of these initiatives is undeniable. Carnival Corporation has surpassed its initial goal set for 2025, achieving a remarkable 40% reduction in food waste per person compared to its 2019 baseline. This impressive progress positions them well on track to achieve their ambitious target of a 50% reduction by 2030.
These awards serve as a testament to Carnival Corporation’s unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and its dedication to minimizing its environmental impact.
