Newcastle Airport has published its 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, in which it has recorded its progress toward achieving net zero carbon by 2035.
Sustainability progress
In the report, the airport revealed that it reduced carbon emissions by 4% between 2023 and 2024, contributing to a total decrease of 34% since 2019. The site achieved a 40% recycling rate, marking a 5% increase from 2023. The airport’s solar farm, capable of providing 100% of the terminal’s electricity on a sunny day, prevented 478 tons of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere, equivalent to the electricity needed to power 897 homes. Additionally, over 30% of the airport’s vehicles are now fully electric and the introduction of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) to power non-electric operational vehicles has cut carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90%.
