MAHB is picking up ACA certifications across its network. Penang and Kuching just hit Level 1, while KLIA is at Level 3. It is basically a roadmap for how they track and report emissions.

Level 1 is just the baseline. It means they mapped their footprint and verified it. The real test is moving the rest of the airports toward Level 3 or 4 where actual reduction targets and offsets kick in.

The article mentions energy efficiency measures but does not list any. I wonder if they are installing onsite solar or just switching to LEDs. What is the actual percentage of renewable energy in their mix?

Airports are massive HVAC and lighting drains. If they are just doing low hanging fruit, the carbon gains will be small. The big wins come from upgrading the chillers and terminal envelopes.
