Abu Dhabi International Airport Renews It’s Commitment To Help Fight Climate Change
(5 July 2015)

 

Abu Dhabi International Airport has again earned the accreditation level of ‘mapping’ from ACI Airport Carbon Accreditation for the third time, in recognition of its efforts to manage carbon dioxide emissions.

In 2011, AUH was the first airport outside of Europe to be ACI Airport Carbon Accredited, and in 2013 the airport renewed its submission to maintain its mapping level accreditation within the program.

This year, Abu Dhabi Airports initiated its third application to the programme by mapping emissions sources within the direct operational boundaries of Abu Dhabi International Airport, as defined by the programme, calculating the volume of annual carbon emissions and compiling a carbon footprint report. Abu Dhabi International Airport’s carbon footprint was then verified by an independent party in accordance with ISO14064 (Greenhouse Gas Accounting).  The verified airport footprint forms the baseline measure to which future activities and reduction targets will be aligned.

Commenting on the accreditation, Eng. Ahmad Al Haddabi, Chief Operations Officer at Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “Environmental impact is directly linked to the operational efficiency of Abu Dhabi International Airport, and we are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to have a positive effect on the local and global environment, whilst operating more effectively.  As Abu Dhabi Airports builds the new Midfield Terminal at Abu Dhabi International Airport, one of the largest infrastructure projects in the UAE, sustainable design and environmental impact are key guidelines, setting a new standard for the construction and operation of airports around the globe.”

Airport Carbon Accreditation is an independent programme administered by WSP Environment & Energy, an international consultancy appointed by ACI EUROPE to enforce the accreditation criteria for airports on an annual basis.
