CURRENT SCENARIO

Sustainable Airports

Nowadays the aviation industry faces a

growing public demand for action on

climate change, but it is perhaps unknown

that the industry has already made

great progress in mitigating its impact

and has set ambitious goals for the

future.

EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK

Objective

2050

Europe as the first

emission-neutral

continent

“More rapid development of alternative fuels

for aviation and shipping and lead market for

those fuels will need to be established in the

next years” (Timmermans)

SPANISH FRAMEWORK

STATEMENT TO CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL EMERGENCY

SPANISH LAW ON CLIMATE CHANGE

AND ENERGY TRANSITION

Regulatory framework

Article 11: Promotion of sustainable alternative fuels in air

transport.

Establish annual targets for the supply of SAF in air

transport.

Adopt the necessary measures to achieve compliance

with the objectives of supply of SAF in air transport,

including synthetic fuels in whose manufacture they

have been used exclusively raw materials and

renewable energy.

Must comply with the sustainability criteria defined by

European regulations

SPANISH INTEGRATED ENERGY AND

CLIMATE PLAN (PNIEC)

Defines the objectives for the reduction of greenhouse

gas emissions, penetration of renewable energies and

energy efficiency.

Measure 1.6: Advanced biofuels in transport:

Adaptation of the certification system for biofuels

Establishment of a specific obligation of sale or

consumption of advanced biofuels for the period 2021-

2030.

Promotion of the consumption of biofuels, through

measures that allow offering this possibility in service

stations

A future establishment of specific objectives for the

consumption of biofuels in aviation.

AENA'S ANSWER: CLIMATE CHANGE STRATEGY

2020: 100% electricity

from renewable energy

with Guarantees of Origin

2026: 70 % energy

self-consumption from

renewable energy in

airport facilities

OBJECTIVE

ELECTRICITY

2020: ↓ 30% of the

emissions/ATU

2025: ↓ 40% of the

emissions/ATU

2030: Carbon neutral MAD

AENA'S COMMITMENT TO BIOFUEL

TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTATION PLATFORM WITH MICROALGAS

Project dedicated to research, experiment and improve CO2 capture technologies, coming from the airport

facilities, with which microalgae will be cultivated, destined to the production of biomass from which biofuel

can be obtained.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT FOR FUEL SUPPLIER IN AIRPORTS OF AENA

The agent will be responsible for complying with all the requirements that guarantee the volume of supply required by its customers

as the quality of the product and service, in accordance with current regulations.

H2020 PROJECT: SMART AIRPORTS

Sustainable Airports

Stream 2 – Smart Energy in airports

To deploy an “Smart energy management platform” at the

airport, in order to optimize the resources needed for the

operation of the infrastructure.

To use ground-handling vehicles powered by hydrogen-fuel

cells at Barcelona Airport, and to assess their performance and

impact on day-to-day operations.

Involve different stakeholders, for the production and distribution of

SAF at Barcelona Airport, and to assess the impact that these

processes may have on both the “lighthouse” and the “follower

airport”, as well as to identify the required changes and possible

adaptation needs in order to allow the supply of SAF at airports on

a regular basis.

Fuel blending mandate for the % of SAFs used

by Airlines to stimulate the production of SAFs

EU Commissions to provide financial incentives

for Research and Development (R&D) and

production of SAFs

• R&D for electric and hydrogen

• Helps making SAFs viable by scaling-

up SAF supply and reducting costs

• In line with support for other sectors
