Integrating Renewable Energy in Airports: A Roadmap Towards Carbon-Neutral Aviation Hubs
description: This chapter explains how one of the means of achieving carbon-neutral airports is by the airports integrating renewable energy. It examines how solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower technology can be used to curb carbon emission, reduce energy costs, and make the aviation industry environmentally sustainable. It lists the best practice, the impediments to the implementation, and the policy recommendations to the successful implementation based on the world case studies such as San Diego, Amsterdam Schiphol, and Denver airports. The discussion notes financial, technological and regulatory challenges, and predicts future trends of smart grids, energy storage, and electric ground equipment that can turn airports to sustainable energy centers that will support low-carbon aviation. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
