The Green Airport

If planes take to the blue skies, why can’t they land at green airports?

The challenges facing the air travel industry are immense, and will continue to increase in the near future –
especially with respect to environmental issues. To meet these challenges, airports must develop new strategies aimed at enhancing energy efficiency. Enter the Green Airport Strategy from Siemens! A comprehensive approach to help you reduce CO2 emissions and energy costs and, thus, improve your competitiveness. Sustainably!

Green pressures facing airports:

• Public:

Airports are confronted with growing public demands to implement and enforce environmental protection measures. A holistic Green Airport Strategy shows the airport's commitment to improve the situation.

• Growth:

Increased energy efficiency alone cannot compensate for the rapid growth of air travel. A new strategy is required to decouple the PAX from the CO2 increase.

• Cost:

Rapidly rising energy costs impact airport competitiveness. Efficient use of energy and renewable energies help to improve operating costs.

• Policy:

Mandated CO2 emission reduction targets for entire economies and industries create additional challenges. An overall Green Airport Strategy ensures compliance with policies, laws and regulations.

Siemens has been investing in ideas and strategies focusing on the Green Airport of the future. Their website gives further details: Siemens.
