In order to monitor and reduce its CO2 emissions, Turin Airport since 2017 has joined the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme of ACI Europe (Airport Council International) and has been accredited to Level 3 (Optimisation) since 2022.
Emissions, calculated according to the ISO 14064 standard and the GHG protocol, are broken down as follows:
- Scope 1: direct emissions
- Scope 2: indirect emissions from electricity and heat production
- Scope 3: other indirect emissions
The certification includes the implementation of a plan to reduce emissions directly under the control of the airport and the preparation of a plan to involve stakeholders in the decarbonisation process.
The path undertaken has led to a reduction of over 50% in emissions compared to the 2017 base year.
The remaining emissions generated in 2023 amounting to 1,436 tonnes of CO2 have been offset through the financing of a project that meets the guidelines of the Airport Carbon Accreditation (https://www.airportcarbonaccreditation.org/technical-documents/).
Below are the characteristics of the selected project:
- Offset Programme: VCS
- Credit: 1436
- Project Type: Energy industries (renewable energy - Solar)
- Project Name: Srepok 1 Solar Power Project
- Short project description: The Srepok 1 project is located in village 9, Ea Wer commune, Buon Don district, Dak Lak province, Vietnam. The aim of the project is to generate solar power from photovoltaics by supplying the national grid through a power purchase agreement (PPA) signed with the Electricity Corporation of Vietnam (EVN). The project has an installed capacity of 50 MW for an annual production of approximately 73,000 MWh.
- Identification number: 1974
- Methodology / Certification standard: VCS Methodology - ACM0002
