Upcoming fuels can reduce CO₂ further

With electrofuels from Power2X, it is possible to achieve further CO₂ reduction.

In the long term, 

electric powered aircrafts, hydrogen fuel and hybrid versions could reduce CO₂ further. Such propellants are being developed and will be involved in the project if applicable.

SAF based on sustainable resources

Sustainable aviation fuels could be based on household waste, wood residuals, used cooking oils and perhaps crops or residues containing the necessary energy raw materials.  

Sustainable, also referred to as advanced, fuels for aviation should use sustainable resources to produce a fuel that can substitute traditional jet fuel without using or harming food, biodiversity, forest- and water resources, humans or animals.

Reduction of NO_x and particles 

It is expected that the introduction of SAF and renewable energy will significantly reduce ultrafine particles and the concentration of NO_x in and around the airport.

CO₂ free renewable energy

Regarding energy for airport operation, electricity is the preferred sustainable and renewable energy carrier to take over from fossil energy.

Wind and solar energy

Electricity from wind turbines and photovoltaic-systems is CO₂ free energy at competitive prices. Electrification and energy storage is crucial when greening airport operations. Furthermore, incorporating flexible solutions reducing energy consumption and ensuring smart energy management will be implemented.

E-mobility

E-mobility, in terms of both passenger transport and ground handling equipment, will reduce CO₂ and other air pollutants immediately.

The goal is for transport to reach Net Zero by 2030 and for the entire airport to reach Net Zero by 2050.
