Tunley Environmental Launches New Comprehensive Airport Decarbonisation Service
The award-winning consultancy now offers specialised Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) calculation and verification services globally. The ACA Scheme, introduced by the Airports Council International (ACI) in 2009, is the premier voluntary carbon management standard for airports. To gain the accreditation airports must calculate their GHG emissions according to the ISO 14064 standard. Additionally, a certified ACA verifier must independently verify the airport's carbon footprint and management strategies, ensuring airports meet rigorous ISO 14064 standards.
The Airport Decarbonisation Service delivers a thorough framework for reducing carbon footprints across airport operations. It features detailed emissions assessments, strategies for integrating renewable energy and enhancements to operational efficiencies. This strategic approach is essential for airports striving to meet global carbon reduction targets and secure Airport Carbon Accreditation.
The core feature of this service offered by Tunley Environmental includes consultancy to aid airports in the calculations required for submission. Additionally, Tunley offers a second service to airports that require official verification from a certified ACA verifier. Tunley Environmental’s core consultancy includes in-depth carbon footprint analysis, customised decarbonisation planning, and continuous consultancy support. These elements are designed to help airports better understand their emissions, implement impactful reduction strategies and ensure compliance with global sustainability standards. In addition to aiding certification, the service reinforces an airport's dedication to eco-friendly practices and boosts its environmental reputation.
Dr William Beer, CEO of Tunley Environmental, expressed his enthusiasm for the new service: “Our goal is to empower airports to take bold, actionable steps toward decarbonisation. By integrating our extensive knowledge and innovative solutions, we aim to facilitate a smoother transition to more sustainable practices and set new benchmarks for the aviation industry. Our solutions will not only demonstrate current emissions but overlay against targets providing valuable insight into sustainable progress - I am thrilled!”
Dr Aaron Yeardley, Co-Head of Science at Tunley Environmental, has successfully completed the Airport Carbon Accreditation Verifier Training Course and Examination. This certification enables Dr Yeardley to verify the work of other companies as they assist airports in achieving their Airport Carbon Accreditation targets. Reflecting on this achievement, Dr Yeardley commented, “As a certified Airport Carbon Accreditation verifier, I’m excited to help airports accurately assess their carbon emissions and make real progress toward their environmental goals. Our expert team at Tunley ensures precise and reliable data, helping airports achieve their sustainability goals and reduce their carbon footprint effectively. By verifying the work completed by other consultancies, we ensure accuracy and compliance with the highest standards. "
Tunley Environmental’s Airport Decarbonisation Service is set to significantly impact the aviation sector by providing airports with essential tools and expert consultancy to advance their sustainability efforts and reduce their carbon footprint.
