Costa Toscana's commitment to the environment
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) propulsion
The Costa Toscana is the second ship in the Costa fleet to be powered by LNG after the Costa Smeralda in 2019. The use of liquefied natural gas significantly reduces emissions of sulfur dioxide and fine particles, by up to 32%. LNG, which is a liquefied version of natural gas obtained by cooling, is easier to store and transport, which also helps to reduce logistics-related emissions.
Minimizing emissions to protect the environment
The Costa Toscana incorporates cutting-edge technologies to minimize its ecological impact. As an eco-responsible ship, she is equipped with a scrubber system, which eliminates fine particles and various atmospheric pollutants before they are released into the atmosphere. It also has a device that allows it to be connected to shore power when docked, thus reducing emissions during stopovers. Costa Toscana is equipped for advanced wastewater treatment. As with all the ships in the Costa fleet, effective methods are in place to reduce, recycle and recover the waste produced on board every day.
