Japan Aviation Emissions: Haneda and Narita Airports Among Top Asia-Pacific Polluters
businesswire.comA new report from ODI Global and Transport & Environment reveals that Japan's aviation sector is the fourth largest emitter globally. Tokyo's Haneda and Narita airports combined produce nearly 20 million tonnes of CO2, highlighting a significant gap in the country's 2050 carbon neutrality goals. Only 2.3% of airports worldwide have Scope 3 net-zero plans, despite these emissions making up over 90% of an airport's total climate impact. Experts are calling for a shift toward e-fuels and more transparent measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) frameworks to hold the industry accountable.
