Zero emission Airports (ZEA)
Decarbonising airport operations and developing the infrastructure to support zero-emission flight.
Connected Places Catapult’s Zero Emission Airports (ZEA) Project, funded by the Department for Transport (DfT), was a continuation of our previous work on Zero Emission Flight Infrastructure (ZEFI), and it set out to tackle three critical areas on the path to Jet Zero:
- Solutions to decarbonise airport operations
- Infrastructure requirements to support zero-emission flight
- The standards priorities for Zero Emission Flight Infrastructure
This work involved drawing together industry and academic insights for alignment on government targets; identifying opportunities to resolve research challenges preventing the decarbonisation of airports and infrastructure to support Zero Emission Flight, plus the barriers to achieving these; and the creation of a draft transition plan that airports and airfields can use to determine priority next steps.
