Net zero emissions pathway
ADR has embarked on a journey to achieve zero net emissions for operations under its direct control (Scope 1 + Scope 2) by 2030, ahead of the targets set by the European airport industry. To achieve this ambitious goal, ADR has undertaken the following activities and projects:
-
Renewable energy: construction of multi MW photovoltaic systems, also with electrical storage solutions consisting of batteries previously installed on vehicles and reused to store the energy produced by ADR's photovoltaic systems;
-
Energy efficiency: continuous monitoring of consumption through state-of-the-art technologies, intelligent use of energy resources and implementation of actions and investments to ensure energy savings;
-
Green Buildings: construction and modernisation of buildings following sustainability criteria such as LEED or BREEAM;
-
Conversion of the company fleet to more sustainable fuels such as electric, by simultaneously installing dedicated charging stations, and HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) to be used in vehicles that cannot be easily electrified.

In addition, ADR to reduce indirect emissions related to airport activities (Scope 3) is pursuing other initiatives that aim to:
-
Spreading the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at airports by making the biofuel available at the airport's distribution centre;
-
Promoting low-emission mobility to and from the airport by investing in hundreds of electric charging stations with clean energy availability and facilitating electric car sharing for passengers.
