BOLOGNA AIRPORT OBTAINS THE "LEVEL 4+ TRANSITION" ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION FROM ACI EUROPE
At the "Level 4+ Transition" of the accreditation, airports are required to reduce emissions as much as possible and to offset carbon emissions that cannot be reduced by other means. In particular, Marconi has been shown to offset CO2 emissions produced directly by the management company, using internationally recognized offsets.
The "Airport Carbon Accreditation" project, in which Marconi participated since 2009, first with the recognition of “Level 1 Mapping” and up to now with “Level 3+ Neutrality”, currently includes almost 300 airports in Europe and a total of 589 in the world, with 7 levels of decarbonisation increasing from 1 to 5, the maximum which only 15 airports have currently reached.
In the Level 4+ group, which Bologna Airport now belongs to, there are only 48 airports worldwide, mainly in Europe, including: Athens, Brussels, Budapest, Lyon, Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, London Heathrow and Rome Fiumicino.
“This important acknowledgment - commented the CEO of AdB Nazareno Ventola - is an important step of our decarbonisation process and confirms that we are working in the right direction in terms of sustainability and respect for the environment. But we don't want to stop there, so we will continue to work with the aim of becoming Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2030".
In 2024, Bologna Airport built two photovoltaic systems with a power of approximately 400 kW, purchased electricity from 100% renewable sources and 100% offset the emissions produced by the combustion of natural gas and the fuels consumed, through financial support for international gas reduction or absorption projects greenhouse effect.
For the next few years, Marconi is working on the construction of important environmental compensation works including a wooded area north of the track and further energy efficiency of the existing lighting and air conditioning systems.
