Airport decarbonisation

Mohammad Mehdi Kambari

A chapter in Elgar Encyclopedia of Transport and Society, 2025, pp 40-41 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Airport decarbonisation can be defined as actions to reduce CO2 emissions from airport operations. This is crucial for combating climate change, given airports’ significant role in global air travel and their associated carbon emissions. This entry explores the various sources of airport emissions and highlights the complexities in accurate emissions reporting. Key decarbonisation strategies include electrifying ground support equipment, enhancing energy efficiency, adopting renewable energy, improving surface access, facilitating sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), and advancing aircraft technology. Addressing challenges such as infrastructure costs and technological limitations requires collaboration across the aviation industry to further decarbonise airport operations.
