Monaco continues to set high standards in the field of sustainable development, with a particular emphasis on green building. Recent announcements of new projects and initiatives demonstrate the Principality’s dedication to ecological solutions in urban planning.
World’s first ammonia-powered ship docks in Monaco
One of the most exciting recent developments is the arrival of the world’s first ammonia-powered ship in Monaco. This “green ship,” proudly displaying a fluorescent green “zero” (symbolizing zero emissions), is anchored in the Principality to promote a global initiative for emission-free shipping. Its presence in Monaco underscores the Principality’s role as a leader in encouraging the industry to take responsibility for climate change and adopt sustainable practices.

Broader green urban planning and innovation
This event is not isolated. Monaco is well-known for its ambitious projects, such as the Mareterra land reclamation (offshore extension), which was also developed with the highest ecological standards. The Principality actively promotes innovation in energy efficiency and the use of renewable resources within the construction sector, positioning itself as an example of a “green city” of the future.
A global inspiration for sustainability
Through such initiatives, Monaco not only improves its own quality of life and environment but also serves as an inspiration and a platform for dialogue on global ecological challenges, reaffirming its role on the world stage when it comes to sustainability.
