摘要: This report has been prepared (1) to assess the state of practice of GHG emissions reduction initiatives at airports, and (2) to report lessons learned to support the successful implementation of future GHG reduction projects. Using ACRP Report 56 as a starting point, this report presents findings on the progress of practices, tools, and strategies to measure and reduce GHG emissions at airports. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect information for this report. The quantitative data resulted from stakeholders who elected to participate in an industry survey that requested general information on airport GHG reduction efforts in relation to present industry trends. The qualitative data came from telephone interviews with selected airports in which stakeholders discussed specific airport GHG reduction efforts in detail (i.e., the case examples). Key findings were reported in response to both the survey and the telephone interviews conducted for this report. The industry survey was created using a web-based, interactive tool; it was distributed to 255 airport staff members/potential participants via email. Eighty-five airports representing all airport types and regions completed the survey, providing significant insight into the extent of and interest in GHG reduction initiatives. The case examples, drawn from the telephone interviews with airport staff, provide first-hand perspective on the planning and implementation of selected GHG reduction practices. Specific details gathered during this process, as well as overall lessons learned, offer guidance to other airports considering similar initiatives. In all, 17 case examples of GHG reduction practices were prepared from airports that varied in size and geography to provide the broadest applicability. Selection of practices was initially identified from those listed in ACRP Report 56 and from research of a diverse group of airports employing different practices.
