Brisbane Airport Achieves Net Zero Emissions with Renewable Energy
Key Ideas
  • Brisbane Airport has become one of the first Australian airports to reach net zero emissions through a significant reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions.
  • The airport has transitioned to using 100% renewable-backed electricity generation for all operations starting from January 1, 2025, showcasing a commitment to sustainability.
  • Efforts to reduce emissions include purchasing renewable electricity, expanding onsite solar power, and replacing internal combustion fleet vehicles with electric ones.
  • Remaining emissions are offset through native bush regeneration projects, emphasizing a holistic approach to environmental impact mitigation.
Brisbane Airport in Australia has achieved a major milestone by becoming one of the first airports in the country to attain net zero emissions, focusing on Scope 1 and 2 emissions. The airport has transitioned to using 100% renewable electricity generation for all operations, starting from the beginning of 2025. Brisbane Airport Corporation reduced its emissions significantly by purchasing renewable electricity from Stanwell, expanding onsite solar power, and replacing traditional fleet vehicles with electric ones. The remaining emissions are offset through bush regeneration projects in southwest Queensland. This shift to renewable energy is a part of the airport's commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The partnership with Stanwell to supply renewable-backed energy showcases the demand for high-quality renewable energy in Queensland's energy system. The move towards renewable energy not only benefits the environment but also sets an example for other airports and industries to follow in reducing their carbon footprint and achieving sustainability goals.
