Abstract
Along with the increasingly prosperous airport industry, energy consumption and carbon emission at airport rocket, rendering the building of eco-friendly airports becoming the common trend and objective of global airport development. Digging into airport carbon emission management is of relevance for reducing airport carbon emission and improving the quality of airports and surrounding environment. The article analyzes the needs of airport carbon emission management given the current situation, proposes to achieve airport carbon emission management and monitoring by using information technology, develops a carbon management system software for civil aviation airports, and provides smart strategies for airport carbon emission management.
Highlights
OverviewThe rapid progress made in civil aviation infrastructure benefits the whole world, and airports, as the major infrastructure, inevitably leave more “carbon footprint”
In the future, with the tightening of China's environmental policies, the continuous expansion of civil airports in both number and scale and the complexity of large-scale airports, energy conservation and emission reduction will expose the airport industry to challenges by letting it bear the burden of “paying carbon tax” internationally and the pressure of “developing green civil aviation” domestically
Aiming to promote the construction of eco-friendly airports, the Civil Aviation Administration issues a series of policy documents such as the Implementation Opinions on Deepening the Green Development of Civil Aviation, further clarifying the objectives and tasks of the green development of civil aviation airports
Summary
The rapid progress made in civil aviation infrastructure benefits the whole world, and airports, as the major infrastructure, inevitably leave more “carbon footprint”. The global air transport industry contributes about 2% of the global total carbon emission, in which airport activities take up about 5%. As people concern more about carbon emission reduction, ecofriendly airports have become the common goal of global airport development. In 2017, China launched the carbon trading market. With the tightening of China's environmental policies, the continuous expansion of civil airports in both number and scale and the complexity of large-scale airports, energy conservation and emission reduction will expose the airport industry to challenges by letting it bear the burden of “paying carbon tax” internationally and the pressure of “developing green civil aviation” domestically
