Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport successfully upgraded to Level 3 in the Level 4 Airport Carbon Certification Program – Optimization. Achieving Level 3 optimization requires airports to expand their carbon footprint assessments, including emissions from various range 3, such as emissions generated by airlines, ground handlers and franchisees. Belgrade Airport aims to cut its carbon footprint by 2030 and achieve zero CO2 emissions from 2050 to 2050. The airport has taken transformative initiatives to achieve these goals, including replacing its old oil boilers with triangular plants powered by natural gas. The facility has a capacity of 44 MW and can provide electricity, heating and cooling. In addition, the airport has invested in renewable energy, installed a 1 MW photovoltaic power plant, and integrated solar lighting systems into public parking lots. Energy efficiency measures have also been widely implemented, with 95% of lighting systems being replaced by LED technology. In addition, the airport has made progress in vibrating ground operations, expanding its charging infrastructure with 39ev chargers, and introducing solar canopies equipped with fast charging in the parking lot near the terminal.
The former Yugoslavia’s carbon certified airports include: Sarajevo, Dubrovnik, Zadar, Podochrika and Tivat (mapping), Skopje and Ljubljana (reduction), Zagreb (optimization) and Pristina (neutral).
