#204 Creating Green Airports of the Future
from Engineering Matters
Globally, the aviation industry accounts for 2.5% of all carbon emissions. The emission of other gases and particulates at altitude may make its warming impact even larger. Industry wide, manufactures, airlines and even airports, are all looking at how to bring in a new age of green plane technology, whether it’s hydrogen fuel cell, battery electric, or some other sustainable source of power. However, for airports, the arrival of a green plane does not mean they will have decarbonised their own operations. Airports will have to find their own ways of reducing their carbon emissions while also helping accommodate new flying technology. Atkins’ Decarbonomics programme is being brought to airport to help identify the areas responsible for the most carbon emissions and creating a roadmap towards net zero.
