Facts & Figures

CHANGE HAS BEGUN

A crucial element of lux-Airport’s environmental management is the assessment and reduction of our CO2 emissions. The Airport Carbon Accreditation programme is the framework in which we document and analyze our progress – and we are pleased that we have recently achieved level 2 certification.

«At the beginning of the 1990s, I passed for a soft dreamer by announcing that we would halve CO2 emissions. Today, this is the case. I come back to the same idea: the hardest thing is to choose to change course. After that, it’s only a matter of deadlines and progress.»

CARBON FOOTPRINT

OUR APPROACH TO OPTIMIZATION

We are already aware that most of our carbon footprint is concentrated in the heating of older buildings. We will therefore analyze the thermal envelope, heating processes and management systems of these buildings to identify areas with a potential to reduce consumption.

NUMBERS TO E-MOBILITY

New charging stations for electric vehicles have been installed in the underground car park at the terminal. We encourage the use of electrical vehicles airside.
A contract with a company renting only electric cars has been negotiated.

SAVINGS ON BUSES

Diesel bus = 110 t CO² / year
Electrical bus = 1 t CO² / year

Savings = 109 t CO² / year
