Airport Carbon Footprint
1 like350 views
The document discusses airport carbon footprinting and accreditation. It defines an airport carbon footprint as measuring carbon emissions from airport operations to develop reduction strategies. Airports can become accredited at four levels - mapping, reduction, optimization, and neutrality - by meeting certain carbon management criteria overseen by an independent board. Many European and Asian airports have achieved various levels of accreditation, while airports in Africa, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean and Bangladesh currently have no accredited airports.

Airport Carbon Footprint
- 1. Airport Carbon Footprint Its the measurement to identify carbon emission to assign a strategy framework to manage the carbon emission reduction from the operation of an Airport. Definitions of emissions footprints used by Airport Carbon Accreditation follow the principles of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. Airport Carbon Accreditation Framework and tool for active carbon management with measurable results It covers the operational activities that contribute most to carbon emissions. It is site specific and can be used at airport as part of its daily environmental management activity and long term strategy as it helps to guide and support airport environmental management Carbon Footprint Accreditation Authority Airport Carbon Accreditation is overseen by an independent Advisory Board (ACI EUROPE). Its management structure owned by ACI EUROPE An independent administrator (WSP Environment & Energy) who manages the application process and gives form accreditation approval. Steps involved in Carbon Accreditation Process i) Mapping: Initial carbon footprint measurement ii) Reduction: Carbon management to reduce the carbon emission iii) Optimization: Third party involvement in airports auxiliary operation (e. g. independent ground handlers, catering companies, air traffic control and others working on the airport site) to efficiency improvement iv) Neutrality: Direct carbon emission offsetting to acquire neutrality Necessasity of Carbon Accreditation Global recognition for an Airport as eco friendly operation& management Environment friendly energy use in airport buildings and infrastructure as well as transport to and from airports, airside vehicles, aircraft ground movements, and refrigerants Cutting carbon emissions from airport operations will result in a significant overall reduction in carbon emissions Airport Carbon Accreditation permits the use of the following internationally recognized offset instruments like: Certified Emission Reductions (CER), Emissions Reduction Units (ERU), Proprietary Verified Emission Reductions (VER), European Union Allowance (EUA)

- 15. How to Achieve Carbon Footprint Accreditation for Bangladeshi Airports Carbon footprints calculation of an Airport should be independently verified in accordance with ISO14064 (Greenhouse Gas Accounting). Evidence of this must be provided to the administrator together with all claims regarding carbon management processes which must also be independently verified. When considering the emissions from aircraft within the airport perimeter and on final approach and initial departure, must meet the International Civil Aviation Organizations (ICAO) definition of the Landing-Take Off cycle and requires airports to comply with these definitions. Use of renewable energy, low carbon technologiesin airport buildings and infrastructure as well as transport to and from airports, airside vehicles, aircraft ground movements, and refrigerants. Process Involved in Achieving Level of Accreditation for Bangladeshi Airport Level Process Mapping Step-1: At first the airport have to determination its operational boundary and the emissions sources within that boundary which are Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources, as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Step-2: Then airport have to collect data and calculate its annual carbon emissions for the previous year for those sources Step-3: After collecting data airport have to compile a carbon footprint report in a prescribed form Step-4: Then airport have to engage an independent third party to verify the report before submission to the accreditation body (WSP Environment & Energy: who manages the application process and gives form accreditation approval) to ensure that the carbon footprint calculation is in accordance with ISO14064 and accreditation requirements Step-5: After necessary assessment & evaluation approval committee will give the accreditation of the Mapping level Reduction Step-1: Fulfill all the requirements of Mapping Step-2: Provide evidence of effective carbon management procedures including: low carbon/low energy policy Monitor consumption of fuel and energy Set carbon/energy reduction targets Programs or control mechanisms to ensure operations minimize emissions Undertaking awareness training about emissions for staff Process of self assessment & auditing to monitor progress of improvement delivery Step-3: Show that a reduction in the carbon footprint has occurred by analyzing the carbon emissions data of consecutive years. Step-4: Then apply for the promotion to upper level; after necessary assessment & evaluation approval committee will give the accreditation of the Neutrality level.
- 16. Level Process Optimization Step-1: Fulfill all the requirements of Mapping and Reduction Step-2: Widen the scope of its carbon footprint to include a range of Scope 3 emissions. (GHG Protocol) Scope 3 emissions to be measured include: landing and take-off cycle emissions surface access to the airport for passengers and staff staff business travel emissions Any other Scope 3 emissions which the airport chooses to include. Stakeholder Engagement for Level 3 of an airport should ensure: Identification and categorization of stakeholders in the airport with guidance and those it can influence. Allocation of clear roles and responsibilities for engaging and facilitating partnerships with key stakeholders (airlines, ground handlers, etc). Details of communications and training provided to stakeholders. A clear implementation plan of the intended approach to engaging with stakeholders including proposed actions and timings. Step-3: Presentation of evidence of engagement with third party operators to reduce wider airport-based carbon emissions Step-4: Then apply for the promotion to upper level; after necessary assessment & evaluation approval committee will give the accreditation of the Optimization level Neutrality Step-1: Fulfill all requirements of Mapping, Reduction and Optimization Step-2: Offset its remaining Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions (GHG Protocol) to show its commitment to achieving carbon neutral operations for all direct emissions and indirect emissions over which the airport has control, using internationally recognized offsets. Step-3: Then apply for the promotion to upper level; after necessary assessment & evaluation approval committee will give the accreditation of the Neutrality level Scope of Work for FCL Engagement in Carbon Footprints Assessment and Energy Auditoras independent verification body Consultation Service for better insulation and energy efficiency improvement in airport buildings and infrastructure Involvement as Third Party/Stakeholder in airports auxiliary operation to efficiency improvement Green Audit for switching to green energy sources for airports overall operation and maintenance process Conduct Training & Encouragement Program for airport employees, passengers & visitors to use public transport& 3R (Recycle, Reduce, Reuse) Working With Airlines & Air Traffic Management to reduce runway taxiing times Providing a Low-Carbon And Green Design Concept, reduce the use of raw materials, and Increase The Use Of Low-Carbon Suppliers Support internal actions taken to reduce emissions through investigation of alternate air travel configurations, alternative materials and processes and Identification Of Emissions Hotspots
