Through the e.START project, Funk
says, " a diesel COBUS can have a second
life and is therefore real sustainable. "
To fulfill future further alternative
drive demands, Funk reports COBUS is
working to develop the first hydrogen
fuel cell-driven bus, which is expected
to be available in 2023.
Hamburg Airport was certified Level
3+ by the Airport Carbon Accreditation
(ACA), retroactively for 2021. The Airport
Carbon Accreditation is an independent
certification process specially
developed for airports to record and
reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
At the end of 2021, the airport
became the first major commercial
airport in Germany with CO2
-neutral
operations.
" We have thus satisfied the strict
demands of Airports Council International
Europe (ACI) for certification of
CO2 neutrality, " Michael Eggenschwiler,
chief executive officer of Hamburg
Airport, says.
The building blocks of CO2-neutral
airport operations are reduced energy
consumption, innovative technologies,
conservation projects and high-quality
offset certificates.
Since 2009, Hamburg Airport has
reduced its annual CO2
emissions by
almost 80 percent, from 40,000 to 8,700
tonnes. In order to fully compensate for
the remaining CO2
emissions, Hamburg
Airport currently has to invest in high
quality offset certificates. With these certificates,
in collaboration with FirstClimate,
ecological projects are supported to
verifiably reduce CO2
emissions within
the global cycle. By achieving further
CO2
reductions through our own actions,
the proportion of offset certificates purchased
will be reduced step by step.
The long-term goal is now to go without
CO2 emissions entirely by 2035.
" Despite the economic difficulties
arising from the coronavirus pandemic,
we have pursued our climate protection
goals as a top priority. We are thrilled to
be the first major airport in Germany to
achieve CO2
neutrality, " Eggenschwiler
says. " Today, we are reaping the rewards
of the innovative environmental work
that our committed team has undertaken
over more than three decades. We would
never have achieved CO2
neutrality so
soon had we not started working consistently
towards that goal more than ten
years ago. As a municipal corporation,
we are leading by example and making
our contribution to achieving Hamburg's
climate protection targets. "
