Airports & Seaports
Airports
Source of Emissions
The largest share of carbon emissions at airports stems from the combustion of fossil fuels by aircraft during critical phases such as takeoff, landing, and taxiing.
Impact on Climate Change
Although these percentages might seem minor, airports’ contribution to climate change is considerable, especially due to emissions released during overall airport operations, which have a more pronounced warming effect.
Factors Affecting Emissions
The level of carbon emissions produced by an airport is influenced by various factors, including passenger volume, types of aircraft, flight distances, and overall airport operations.
Reducing environmental impact
Reducing environmental impact: By decreasing their dependence on fossil fuels, airports can work toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Saving money
Embracing electrification can lead to cost savings on diesel and maintenance expenses.
Seaports
Reduced emissions:
Electrification can help mitigate emissions from diesel engines and other sources of pollution.
Improved air quality
Electrification can reduce noise pollution from diesel generators and enhance local air quality.
Lower operating costs
Electrification can result in decreased operating and maintenance expenses for operators.
Compliance with regulations
Electrification can assist ports in adhering to state and federal regulations.
Access to federal funding
Port Electrification can facilitate federal funding.
