Airports have to go a long way to reduce carbon emissions: Airports Council of India

MUMBAI: Airports across the world are looking for carbon accreditation. This year, Airports Council of India (ACI) accredited 74 airports in Europe and eight in the Asia pacific region. These airports have been ranked based on the efforts taken to reduce carbon footprints. While global aviation has woken up to carbon emissions in the sector, a lot needs to be done to bring down emissions from aircraft and allied activities, feel experts.

Among European airports, ACI ranked 27 at the mapping stage. This means that these airports are actively trying to map and make an account of the emissions. At the next stage are 21 airports which have mapped the emissions are now taking steps at reduction. Further on top are 12 airports which have reached the optimization stage, followed by 14 European airports at the neutrality stage.

In the Asia Pacific region, eight airports have been accredited. At the mapping stage are Abu Dhabi, Changi and Suvarnabhumi airports. Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad are at the reduction level. Only Hong Kong international airport has made it to the optimization level.

Industry observers said that Indian airports still need to take many steps to reduce their carbon foot print. "A change has started. There are policies being drafted which also look at reduction in emissions and optimum use of energy. Hopefully it will be a better scenario in the next 10 years," said an official at Mumbai airport.
