Royal Caribbean's new terminal in Texas will be the first in the world to use on-site renewable energy production.
The solar panels on the port's roof will be able to generate their own energy. The facility is expected to be the first of its kind. It expects to get the gold certification in the first half of the next decade.
630,000 travelers are expected to visit the terminal every year. The cruise line spent $125 million on the project. It uses 30,000 square feet of solar panels. The terminal will send any unused energy to the power grid.
Extra carbon emissions will be offset.
The terminal will be used by someone. The Allure of the Seas will be the first ship in the terminal when it opens in November.
The president and CEO of the Royal Caribbean Group said that they are focused on innovation across all aspects of the company. Both the oceans we sail and the communities we visit and operate in will be served by the modern design and development features at our terminal in Galveston.
Royal Caribbean Group used materials that produce less carbon and generate less heat, as well as reducing construction waste, installing EV charging stations and more, in order to practice more sustainable construction practices.
