CPH focuses on climate
Copenhagen Airport is part of the international aviation industry which, according to the United Nations’ climate panel (IPCC) accounts for a total of approximately 2% of global CO2 emissions. By far the majority of aviation emissions come from aircraft operations in the air.
By comparison, the transport sector as a whole accounts for about 14% of CO2 emissions worldwide.
At Copenhagen Airport, air traffic is also the greatest source of CO2 emissions. In addition, car transport to and from the airport contributes significantly to the airport’s overall emissions.
Less energy consumption = less CO2
Over a number of years, Copenhagen Airports (CPH) has taken a number of initiatives which help reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions from the company’s activities. For example, CPH aims to reduce its overall power consumption by 10% or more by 2012, compared with 2007.
CPH is continuously enhancing its climate action by a number of new measures which you can read more about in this section. At the same time, CPH is working closely with the other companies at the airport to reduce overall emissions from the airport through projects and campaigns and by guiding and influencing the parties to climate-friendly operations to the widest possible extent.
