Unlike other plants, where the water for transforming LNG into natural gas is heated through boilers, with subsequent emissions of CO2 into atmosphere, the Tritone project is based on the use of a renewable source of heat power, such as seawater at ambient temperature.

High-efficiency engines, mainly fed with natural gas (99%) and marginally with diesel (1%) will be used to generate electric power on board. We can therefore say that the emissions into atmosphere will be minimized.

By releasing heat to LNG, the seawater used will be slightly cooled, with no negative impacts.
The involved area will be limited to a few hundreds meters around the ship, since open sea, currents, water depth and re-mixing processes enable its constant dilution.

The water used for regasification will be disinfected with sodium hypochlorite according to the recommendations of the Italian Ministry for Environment and the European Union.
