dAIR is a policy tool Identification and exchange of best practices Drafting of action plans Test cases
Objective 1: reducing the carbon emissions linked to surface access
The starting point • Surface access : up to 50% of the carbon emissions of an airport • The public transport systems are shaped for only one type of user (the passenger)
Interimresults • Local authorities have to provide more with less money • Technology is providing solutions • Sometimes solutions come from common sense • Concertation needs Need to adapt existing solutions (eg: bus on demand) See what has been tested in other places Malta – air conditioning in buses- closing doors Stakeholders forum
How • Airport Operations represent around 10% of carbon emissions • By helping airports to engage in their ACA programme
Interimresults • The return on investments targets • Engagement of stakeholders • Ideas out of beaten tracks • Use of local resources Credible+ Negotiation arguments What outcomes ? Malta – air conditioning in buses- closing doors Stakeholders forum Avoid “buzz investments”
What’s innovation? • An overall special point of attention within the projet's 2 sub-objectives is 'innovation', and more specifically, the way for public actors to engage business and R&D institutionsin reaching the ambitious goals of creating well connected green airport regions.Intelligent co-operation models between project PPs, business and R&D communitycan lead to easy access to existing state-of-the-art solutions and/or development of new products/servicesand their rapid market uptake.
Innovation or not ? • Smarter use of existing resources • Eco-driving incentives • Use of snow to provide air conditionning • Bus on demand • Equipment • Electric cars, smart floors • Infrastructures • Metro tram • Processes: • Procurement • Mobility plans
