20 initiatives are being rolled out to accelerate both airports’ climate and sustainability related ambitions, including achieving net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
The 20 initiatives announced by daa earlier this month include that the light vehicle fleets at both Cork and Dublin airports will be 100% electric by the end of 2024, improving air quality at bus stations at both airports with innovative photo-bioreactor technology, the upgrading of apron lighting to energy-efficient LED technology at Cork Airport to upgrade its apron lighting to energy-efficient LED technology and the submission of a planning application for a 1.8 million-kilowatt solar farm at Cork Airport.
daa is also participating in the government’s “Decarbonisation – Reduce Your Use” campaign, which will play a significant role in engaging all colleagues as part of initiatives being undertaken this year.
At the recent launch event, daa was presented with the Smarter Travel Mark by National Transport Authority, which is awarded to organisations with a broad range of measures in place that support sustainable travel.
