Together with 192 other airports from 24 different countries, Brussels Airport is signing up to the ‘NetZeroCarbon2050’ resolution from the ACI Europe airport association not to emit any more CO2 at the latest by 2050. During the 29th annual Congress of ACI Europe in Cyprus, the airport sector united behind very ambitious climate and other sustainability goals.
The airports will reduce their CO2 emissions to zero, thus taking a ground-breaking step in the climate plan of their own industry, in line with the Paris Agreement to keep global warming well below 2 degrees.
Brussels Airport has been committed to greatly reducing its CO2 emissions since 2011. Since 2018, Brussels Airport has also been CO2 neutral according to the Airport Carbon Accreditation Program of ACI Europe. It is high time for the industry, but also as an individual player, to take the next step and implement zero CO2 emissions without CO2 offsetting. Brussels Airport is convinced that this is a feasible plan, thanks to research and innovation, further investments, knowledge exchange and partnerships in our sector.
