Guidebook for Developing a Zero- or Low-Emissions Roadmap at Airports
Airports worldwide are setting aggressive zero- or low-emissions targets. To meet these targets, airports are
deploying new strategies, adopting innovative financing
mechanisms, and harnessing the collective influence of
voluntary emissions and reporting programs. In tandem, new and affordable zero- or
low-emissions technologies are rapidly becoming available
at airports.
The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's
ACRP Research Report 220: Guidebook for Developing a Zero- or Low-Emissions Roadmap at Airports covers all steps of roadmap development, from start to finish,
using conceptual diagrams, examples, best practices, and links to external tools and resources. While
the main focus of this guidebook is airport‐controlled greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it provides
discussion about airport‐influenced emissions from airlines, concessionaires, and passengers.
Whereas other guidebooks and reference material provide airports with information on emissions
mitigation and management (for example, the Federal Aviation Administration’s
Airport Carbon Emissions Reduction,
ACRP Report 11: Guidebook on Preparing Airport Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories, and the Airport Council International’s
Guidance Manual: Airport Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management), this guidebook articulates
steps for creating an airport‐specific emissions roadmap.
