What is it?
Airport Carbon Accreditation is the only institutionally-endorsed, global carbon management certification programme for airports. It independently assesses and recognises the efforts of airports to manage and reduce their carbon emissions through 7 levels of certification: ‘Mapping’, ‘Reduction’, ‘Optimization’, ‘Neutrality’, ‘Transformation’, ‘Transition’ and ‘Level 5’.
Through its 7 levels of certification, Airport Carbon Accreditation acknowledges that airports are at different stages in their journey towards comprehensive carbon management. It is a programme for airports of all sizes, extending beyond hubs and regional airports with scheduled passenger traffic, to include general aviation and freight-focused airports.
Airport Carbon Accreditation is also the only global, airport-specific carbon standard which relies on internationally recognized methodologies. It provides airports with a common framework for active carbon management with measurable goalposts. The programme is site-specific allowing flexibility to take account of national or local legal requirements, whilst ensuring that the methodology used is always robust.
Airport Carbon Accreditation strives to enable the airport industry to effectively reduce its carbon footprint, to benefit from increased efficiency through lowered energy consumption, shared expertise and knowledge exchange, as well as better communication of the results. The considerable number of airports certified at each level of the programme clearly signifies that regardless of size or geography, these airports are leading the way, actively lowering aviation’s carbon footprint on the ground.
How does it work?
Airports are at different points on the journey to becoming cleaner and more efficient. As the centrepoints of a complex web of aircraft movements, technical operations and surface access transport, airports can address their CO₂ emissions in a variety of ways. These can include better insulation and energy efficiency, switching to green energy sources, investing in hybrid, electric or renewable gas-powered service vehicles, encouraging employees, passengers and visitors to use public transport, working with airlines and air traffic management to reduce runway taxiing times and implement green landing processes and much more.
Airports can participate in the programme at one of the four main progressively stringent levels of accreditation: 1. Mapping; 2. Reduction; 3. Optimisation; and 4. Transformation. In addition, airports at level 3 and 4 can choose to offset their residual emissions, thereby achieving level 3+ (Neutrality) and 4+ (Transition) respectively.
In 2020, Level 4 (Transformation) and 4+ (Transition) have been added to the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme to align it with the objectives of the Paris Agreement to limit the increase of global average temperature to 2°C above pre-industrial levels and aim to not exceed 1.5°C. Levels 4 and 4+ have been introduced as an interim step towards the long-term goal of supporting airports in achieving net zero carbon emissions. Level 4 and 4+ will therefore encourage airports to reduce their emissions in line with the latest scientific and political developments and meet growing public and stakeholder expectations.
Expanding on its remarkable history and acknowledging the necessity for constant enhancement, the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme has introduced Level 5, the highest achievement within the programme. Airports can now validate their efforts in maintaining a Net Zero carbon balance for Scopes 1 and 2 while also addressing Scope 3 emissions, showcasing their commitment to sustainable future for the aviation sector as a whole.
Independent Third Party Verification
As part of the Airport Carbon Accreditation application process, each airport’s carbon footprint, and, according to the accreditation level chosen, the airport’s carbon management and stakeholder plans, must be independently verified by a third party before consideration by the programme Administrator WSP. Such verification can only be undertaken by verifiers who meet certain threshold qualifications and who have successfully followed a programme webinar, and passed the associated online written examination. They are then listed as approved verifiers for the purposes of the programme.
Among this list, name of MLK’s company shareholder, Mr. Levent Murat KÜTÜK is listed as one of the verifiers within the field of “Airport Carbon Accreditation”. Around the world, there are 130 total number of ACA verifiers and Mr. Levent Murat KÜTÜK is one of them, please check: https://www.airportcarbonaccreditation.org/about/verification/
