This also refers to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Emissions caused by Finavia’s largest airport, Helsinki Airport, clearly declined in 2011. As a result, the airport was accepted into the second level of the international Airport Carbon Accreditation emission reduction programme. The reduction in emissions was achieved by cutting the airport’s energy consumption by replacing terminal heating and lighting systems, for example. In 2011, Helsinki Airport cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 2,474 tonnes compared to the previous year, and the emissions totalled 19,895 tons. This corresponds to an emissions reduction of 0.4 kg per passenger, or the amount of fuel transported by 23 container trucks. “Air traffic amounts to two per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions. About five per cent of this is caused by airport activities. Even though this is a relatively small share in the entire sector’s emissions, Finavia wants to contribute to emissions reduction at its airports. This deals with concrete steps: the achieved emissions reduction was implemented by making the airport’s energy consumption more efficient, by adjusting the heating system, optimising the lights and by providing the staff with training on economical driving habits,” says Mikko Viinikainen, SVP Environmental Management at Finavia. “In 2012, the focus is on improving the efficiency of heating and ventilation control, and on more energy-efficient lighting solutions. The first fully electrically operated vehicle is used by the parking service and more vehicles will be introduced as the technology is further developed. Other airports will continue the introduction of new, environmentally sound heating methods and energy sources and will replace lights and related control systems. In Kittilä, for example, the heating fuel has been switched from oil to pellets, and Rovaniemi airport will introduce a geothermal solution for property-specific heating,” says Mr Viinikainen. Finavia is in the same programme as other European airports Finavia launched its energy and climate programme in 2008. At the end of 2011, Helsinki Airport and Lapland Airports, which comprise six airports in Lapland, were accepted into the international Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme. It is the Airport Council International’s programme for determining and restraining the carbon dioxide emissions of airports. A total of 59 European airports have been accepted to the programme. The ACA programme is a concrete tool for reducing airport emissions and for ultimately achieving carbon neutrality. In the first year, Helsinki Airport made the first level (Mapping) of the programme. The level dealt with surveying emissions. Lapland Airports made the second level, i.e. Reduction, where emissions had already been successfully reduced. Through the emission reduction, Helsinki Airport has also made the Reduction level. At the third level (Optimisation) of the programme, other companies operating at the airport must also be committed to contributing to emissions reduction. At the fourth level, i.e. Neutrality, the airport is carbon neutral, which is achieved by participating in publicly accepted emissions reduction projects in developing countries. 2012-08-09 News aero Postez une news Selectionnez le nombre de dépêches: 25 50 75 100 150 200     UTC Aerospace Systems receives two Bombardier 2013-06-19    NASA Langley joins Commonwealth Center 2013-06-19     All Nippon Airways selects UTC Aerospace Systems 2013-06-19    Singapore Airlines finalises order for up to 50 2013-06-19    Singapore Airlines finalise sa commande portant 2013-06-19    « Fast Track »: Worldwide management of ATR 2013-06-19    « Fast Track » : ATR confie à DHL la gestion 2013-06-19    AFI KLM E&M remporte le support équipements 2013-06-19    CIT Group LEAP-1B engine order valued at $760 2013-06-19    Terma Enters into F-35 Long-Term Agreement 2013-06-19     Première remise des prix ATRA sur la sécurité 2013-06-19    General Dynamics\' WIN-T Increment 2 Completes Fo 2013-06-19     First Holistic World Safety Award 2013-06-19    Astrium lance la « Valise satellitaire » 2013-06-19     The best way for easy locking 2013-06-19    AirAsia Places US$8.6 billion CFM Engine Order 2013-06-19    LOT Polish Airlines Renews Contract 2013-06-19    HGI Aircraft Division orders 20 ATR 72-600s 2013-06-19    HGI Aircraft Division commande 20 ATR 72-600 2013-06-19     Le Salon du Bourget vu par satellite ! 2013-06-19     ViaSat Ka-band In-flight System Will Be New 2013-06-19    Pratt & Whitney and NASA Demonstrate Benefits 2013-06-19     Norwegian Air Shuttle Selects Pratt & Whitney 2013-06-19    Northrop Grumman Delivers Open-Architecture 2013-06-19    Boeing and Travel Service Announce Commitment 2013-06-19     Air Lease Corporation Selects Pratt & Whitney 2013-06-19    Une nouvelle unité industrielle dédiée 2013-06-19     Première remise des prix ATRA sur la sécurité 2013-06-19     Métiers de l'aéronautique et du spatial 2013-06-19    aea’s cargo leaders set priorities 2013-06-19    Le CNES en Midi-Pyrénées 2013-06-19    AKKA Technologies reconnu fournisseur qualifié 2013-06-19    Ryanair CFM56-7B Engine Order Valued at $3.7B 2013-06-19    GE Aviation and EGAT Sign Material Support 2013-06-19    Eurocopter and Ramco sign partnership agreement 2013-06-19     HIGH-SPEED D-MAX CONNECTORS COMBINE EXTREME 2013-06-19     ETURNAS™ Long-Endurance Solar Unmanned Aerial 2013-06-19    Qatar Airways Signs Maintenance Cost Per Hour 2013-06-19     PATTONAIR APPOINTS NEW PRESIDENT & GENERAL 2013-06-19     SES et IPMTV étendent leur partenariat 2013-06-19    StandardAero Becomes Independent TRUEngineTM 2013-06-19    La direction achats d'Astrium élue organisation 2013-06-19     Les collégiens et lycéens qui préparent 2013-06-19     JEC Americas 2013 to Focus on Top Innovations 2013-06-19     Aéro Montréal et Skywin Wallonie intensifient 2013-06-19    Pratt & Whitney to Provide Fuel Efficient 2013-06-19    Pratt & Whitney Completes Initial Design Review 2013-06-19    MEADS Tactical BMC4I Software Demonstrates 2013-06-19    Boeing, Oman Air Announce Order for Five 2013-06-19    SriLankan Airlines opts for six A330’s 2013-06-19    SriLankan Airlines opte pour six A330 2013-06-19    Air Canada Named \'Best Airline in North America\' 2013-06-19     Normandie AeroEspace présente 5 projets 2013-06-19    Cathay Pacific Airways Commits to OnPoint 2013-06-19    Boeing, Ryanair Finalize Order for 175 2013-06-19    SAFRAN AND HEXCEL SIGN A LONG TERM STRATEGIC 2013-06-19    EADS Launches Customisable Investor Application 2013-06-19     EUROPEAN AIR GROUP (EAG) – EUROPEAN MILITARY 2013-06-19    Air France-KLM confirms future with A350 XWB 2013-06-19    L’avenir d’Air France-KLM se fera avec l'A350 2013-06-19    Boeing Accelerates First Delivery of 737 MAX 2013-06-19    MEADS TACTICAL BMC4I SOFTWARE DEMONSTRATES 2013-06-19    MBDA DEBUTE LES ESSAIS D’INTEGRATION DU MISSILE 2013-06-19     Air Namibia modernise sa flotte 2013-06-19    LATAM Airlines Group Selects GE for GE90 2013-06-19    GECAS, CFM Finalize PML maintenance product 2013-06-19     L’ISAE et AIRBUS inaugurent au salon du Bourget 2013-06-19    Sagem delivers 10,000th APIRS inertial reference 2013-06-19    L’avion régional ATR72-600 reçoit la 10 000ème 2013-06-19    Sagem's expands Cassiopée range of flight 2013-06-19    La constellation de services aéronautiques 2013-06-19    Boeing, CIT Announce Order for 30 737 MAX 8s 2013-06-19     Best and Worst Aircraft Crash Rates Revealed 2013-06-19     Hainan Airlines Named \'Best China Airline\' 2013-06-19    Northrop Grumman Delivers First AQS-24A Airborne 2013-06-19 Archives des news...      Selectionnez le nombre de dépêches: 25 50 75 100 150 200 Publicité
