Dead Fish to Power Norwegian Cruise Liners
2018-11-28
[An Nahar] Norwegian cruise operator Hurtigruten plans to use dead fish to power some of its ships, it said on Monday, as it seeks to reduce its pollution and climate change impact.

Leftover dead fish from Norway's large fishing industry will be mixed with other organic waste to make a liquefied biogas to be used instead of heavy fuel oil, said Hurtigruten, which runs cruises to the Arctic and Antarctica, among other locations.

"What others see as a problem, we see as a resource and a solution," the company's chief executive Daniel Skjeldam said.

"By introducing biogas as fuel for cruise ships, Hurtigruten will be the first cruise company to power ships with fossil-free fuel," he added.

#4  so if this gets legs and more dead whatevers are burned for fuel, how soon before the whale huggers or dolphin huggers or whatever huggers start bitchhing about declining populations of their desired huggees due to loss of food stock?

#2  I see it another way. What used to be returned to the environment (landfill for the worms or chum for the sea creatures) is, instead, converted to CO2.

It may be fossil free, but it is still burned.

Ya wanna do your part to stop the seas from rising? Sink your ships where new reefs are needed.
