Accreditations are a start, but the real test is the reporting standard. I want to see the actual absolute emissions data and how they are accounting for Scope 3 emissions from the airlines they host.
Exactly. They mention electrification, but that just pushes the problem to the grid. Did they secure the capacity for all this new electric ground equipment, or is this just a plan on paper?
Level 4+ sounds impressive, but the article is light on the actual energy saving measures. Are we talking LED bulbs and HVAC tweaks, or a full overhaul of the terminal heating systems?
Dublin Airport is now in the top 13% of global airports for carbon management after hitting Level 4+ accreditation. It means they have a verified plan for absolute emissions cuts.
