In addition to the use of biofuels, Costa's efforts also include the installation of the first fuel cell to edge of AIDAnova and the commissioning of what currently it is the largest storage system of batteries in the cruise industry, with a capacity of ten megawatt hours on board AIDAprima. In addition, the company is focusing on expanding and increasing use of shore-based energy in ports where it is available the infrastructure.
