the royal caribbean group who own the ship say that all this is eco—friendly.on net zero in the future, and lng is one part of that step forward on that journey. he talks about the boat being powered by lng, which is short for liquefied natural gas. even though lng burns in a way that is cleaner compared to other marine fuels, it mostly contains methane which is a powerful greenhouse gas. some experts are warning that there is a risk that some gas could escape, leaking harmful methane into the air. listen to this. the moment you start using lng as a marine fuel, including in cruise ships, you start to emit more greenhouse gas emissions than if you had done nothing and continue to run on the fuels that we are using today. when methane, which is what lng is mostly made of, is released in the air, it traps 80 times more heat than co2 over 20 years. so it's extremely harmful. and cutting those emissions is seen as crucial to slowing down climate change. so, for many experts, this lavish cruise ship represents everything that we should not be doing to fight climate
