Bold Airports of Tomorrow
ALIGHT supports the transformation of airports and air transport towards solutions for the benefit of people and the environment
ALIGHT Replication Toolbox is an online platform of guides and examples that helps airports adopt and scale innovative solutions for low-impact operations
Partnership for Impact
This video showcases the collaboration between Copenhagen Airport (CPH), Hybrid Greentech, and the Danish Technological Institute in creating smarter airport energy systems. Recognising that an airport has diverse and multi-faceted energy needs, CPH faced the challenge of adapting energy systems to fluctuating demands, integrating renewables, and supporting decarbonisation goals.
Hybrid Greentech contributed innovative energy management programmes, while the Danish Technological Institute provided detailed technical expertise and real-world data analysis. Working closely together, the partners tested solutions such as battery storage and smart charging in practical conditions, demonstrating measurable reductions in CO₂ emissions and improved management of energy peaks.
Together, they developed a smart energy management system for scheduling and optimising solar generation, battery storage, and energy needs in the context of a major airport — and in the process uncovering benefits that extend beyond aviation to all large industries. The project illustrates the value of viewing energy assets as a connected ecosystem to deliver sustainability, resilience, and cost savings.

Major EU Project Launches Digital Toolbox and Standard Framework for Green Transition of the Aviation Industry
Press release coming up!
Teaser:
ALIGHT presents a new European standardization document on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), developed with input from over 40 experts in the aviation sector as part of the CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA). Together with a comprehensive digital toolbox, this makes it easier for airports, fuel suppliers, and policymakers to accelerate the green transition in aviation.
