CARBON PROGRAMME NOW ACTIVE ON THREE CONTINENTS
It’s been four years since ACI Europe launched its Airport Carbon Accreditation and the programme is reaping real benefits through carbon emissions. The institutionallyendorsed programme independently assesses and recognises airports’ efforts to manage and reduce their CO2 emissions. It certifies airports at four different levels of accreditation (mapping, reduction, optimisation and neutrality). In the 12 months up to June 2013, Airport Carbon Accredited status has been earned by a total of 75 airports in 22 countries in Europe and ten airports in seven countries in Asia-Pacific. At this year’s ACI Europe and World Annual Congress, a special agreement was signed with ACI Africa, extending the programme to airports in that continent. Enfidha Hammamed Airport in Tunisia is the very first African airport to become certified. Olivier Jankovec, director general of ACI Europe commented, “Year four of Airport Carbon Accreditation has been an epic year. We’ve seen more airports reducing their CO2 than ever before, including an entire national airport group becoming carbon neutral. Our colleagues in Asia-Pacific have secured the participation of more than ten airports in Asia-Pacific, including Hong Kong International Airport, certified at the ‘optimisation’ level. And now year five kicks off with the extension to Africa — that’s real momentum for such a young programme.” On Airport Carbon Accreditation’s impact in Europe in particular, Jankovec added, “In Europe alone, accredited airports welcome more than 900 million passengers each year and year four has yielded a reduction of over 170,000 tonnes of C02 — enough energy to run 71,000 households for a year. This is concrete action that has produced effective, independentlyverified results. Within and beyond Europe, airports of all sizes are now engaged in a real efficiency drive to reduce CO2 emissions that is making a tangible difference to the industry’s carbon footprint.” All the airports now certified by Airport Carbon Accreditation F. collectively represent 22% of global air passenger traffic. »» For more information: airportcarbonaccreditation.org »» Airports currently taking part include: Europe: Barcelona, Lanzarote,
