4 Finavia in Finland We own, maintain and develop a network of 21 airports. Kittilä Lapland illuminated by the Northern Lights Oulu The capital of Northern Scandinavia Enontekiö Kemi-Tornio Ivalo Kuusamo Rovaniemi Santa Claus local airport Vaasa A gem of Northern Ostrobothnia Kokkola- Pietarsaari Jyväskylä Kajaani Joensuu Kuopio In the heart of the Finnish Lakeland Turku A medieval city along the River Aura Maarianhamina Pori Halli-Kuorevesi Savonlinna Tampere The largest inland city of the Nordics Helsinki The shortest route between Asia and Europe 4

10 Environmental Challenges of Aviation and Airports 10

11 Airports are the first to face criticism on environmental impacts of aviation Direct impacts/ airports Aircraft noise Water pollution Local air quality Regulated by local permits and rules Immediate capacity constraints In-Direct impacts/ airports Climate emissions of airport infrastructure Regulated only in few cases Usually no direct capacity constraints In-direct impacts/ aviation Aviation emissions and climate change Regulated by international measures, e.g. EU- ETS, CORSIA Political measures only in few countries 11

12 Opposition to airports expansion, introduction of taxes to cut flying, public opinion raising against air transport Stop for Flying 12

13 Airports are taking this very seriously and acting as front runners in environmental responsibility in the air transport industry Do airports voluntary measures to reduce in-direct impacts have an influence on a) regulations regarding airports direct impacts or b) political measures regarding aviation? On national level - are the measures taken by airports the only ones recognized? 13

14 Finavia s Environmental Vision 14

15 Finavia s vision on environmental responsibility in 2020 Finavia is a carbon-neutral airport operator undertaking environmentally responsible measures acknowledged by customers, neighbours and competent authorities. In-direct impacts + direct impacts

16 Airport Carbon Accreditation The Global Voluntary Carbon Management Standard for Airports 16

17 Overview Launched in 2009 by ACI EUROPE Developed by airports for airports Twofold objective: technical guidance for airport carbon management & framework for public recognition 4 ascending levels of certification Independent administration Tangible results Wide institutional recognition

18 4 levels of certification Level 3+ Offsetting own Scope 1&2 emissions Level 3 Engaging others and measuring their emissions Level 2 Managing and reducing footprint Level 1 Carbon footprint Scope 1&2 Scope 3

19 Emission scopes Scope 1 & 2: Direct & indirect emissions the airport can control (e.g. heating of terminals and electricity supply) Scope 3: Indirect emissions the airport can guide (e.g. third party Ground Support Equipment, use of Auxiliary Power Units (APUs)) Scope 3: Indirect emissions the airport can influence (e.g. LTO, surface access)

20 Energy Usage and CO 2 -emission at Helsinki Airport 20

21 Energy and CO 2 emission 2017, Finavia s operations (Scope 1+2) Scope 2 MWh CO2 t Electricity Heat Scope 1 t CO2 t Vehicles Emergency power Total CO 2 for electricity 178 g/kwh (water, nuclear, fossile, sorted waste) CO 2 for district heating 271 g/kwh (sorted waste, coal, gas) 21

23 Emissions of Scope 3 operations Total 23

24 Energy efficiency (electricity) and CO 2 -reduction Grid electricity CO 2 -index in some European countries Carbon reduction costs vary greatly per country due to power infrastructure In some countries e.g. using a 14,5 kwh/100km full-electric car does not reduce carbon emission compared to a 145 g/km piston-engine car Source: Moro, A., Transportation Research Part D (2017), 24

25 Examples of Measures Taken at Helsinki Airport to Reduce Carbon Emissions 25

26 Basic measures in designing new buildings by Finavia - Early stage simulations of energy and Life Cycle Impacts as well as calculations on geometry of lighting and shading with the help of Building Information Modelling (BIM) - Minimizing absorbtion of sun radiation in roof structures with light coloured roof surfaces - Windows with optimised thermal insulation and radiation shielding capacity - All lighting with LEDs - Energy-intensive machinery (eg. in kitchens) with high energy efficiency and optimised capacity - Building materials selected based on assessment of sustainability and life cycle carbon, if possible - Use of recommendations/requirements from the BREEAM standard 26

27 Solar electricity, to cover 10% of demand in new terminals in 2020 Under construction, solar panels will be installed on the wall and the roof 27

28 Renewable diesel (Neste MY) made of 100% wastes and residues used in Finavia s apron busses and from Oct 2018 onwards in all diesel vehicles The Sauna theme bus. 28

29 Wind power and compensation of residual emissions with carbon credits Certificate of origin / Electricity MWh wind power t CO 2 Carbon credits t CO 2 Biogas and wind power projects in India 29

30 Role of Technology in Further Reduction on Emissions - Airport-Specific Subjects 30

31 Gross electricity consumption at Helsinki Airport Underground facilities; 3% Apron lights; 1% Conveyor center; 4% Aircraft power; 4% ATC centers; 1% Rescue Water station; management; 1% 1% Miscellaneous; 3% Maintenance base; 4% Terminal 2; 47% RWY TWY lights; 7% Terminal 1; 8% Parking houses; 15% 31

32 Airport-specific energy subjects Very large window surfaces - balancing between heat loss in the winter and excessive heat in the summer Luggage conveyors - run on motors in MW range Passenger bridges - very inefficient energy-wise both during winter and summer Heaters of pavement at aircraft gate stands to maintain friction in winter -Specific to some Nordic airports - In minimum to secure friction only for towing tractors (small area) - At larger scale to secure friction for other ground handling vehicles (large area) - Sensor-based automation, forecasting and logic control is the key for energy efficiency 32

33 A case - Heaters of pavement at aircraft gate stands Non-Schengen West Pier Non-Schengen West Pier, in construction 33

34 A case - Heaters of pavement at aircraft gate stands Development of pavement heating at Helsinki Airport - Old and small ones with electricity, 20 MWh/a per stand - Newer with electricity, 10 MWh/a per stand - Stands with district heating, 30 MWh/a per stand - New large ones at Non-Schengen terminal with two circuits (under construction, 17 in total) with district heating (glycol fluid, heat exchangers), in tests without optimization 500 MWh/a per stand Optimization in progress based on sensors for e.g. air temperature and humidity, surface temperature, presipitation and snow cover - Weather forecasts with estimation of snowfall introduced in optimization A intensive project on-going as without optimisation new stands would represent 30% increase in heating energy and 10% increase in CO 2 emissions of the airport 34

35 The Local Logic Controllers of Stand Heating is run over BACnet from the Real Estate Maintenance Base 35

36 Lessons learnt from building and facilities automation Designed features of any system will never be achieved in operational use without - careful optimization of control parameters - requires time, resources and a systematic approach - well designed and simple user interface in the controlling s/w - sufficient introduction of end-users into the operation of the system low know-how will mean inability to over-run malfunctions of automation or take full benefit of all advanced featured 36
