Cambodia Airports’ Move Towards Net Zero Carbon Emissions Goal

Cambodia’s three international airports, which have already installed energy saving devices, are looking to further reduce their carbon footprint by installing solar panels in future. Cambodia Airports – which is part of Vinci Group – operates Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports. Its quality, health, safety and environment manager, Florent de Warren, says they aim to halve the airports’ carbon footprint by 2030.

All three airports have already embarked on a program to switch to LED lighting, including lights at the main passenger terminal, apron, car park, approach locations and navigational aids, he says. “Whatever lights that can be replaced are all LED now,” adds Warren, who was speaking at a webinar organized by Smart Aviation Asia Pacific discussing the topic of how airports can reduce their carbon footprint by adopting solar.

Warren says the three airports have also replaced the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems with alternatives that are much more efficient, while ensuring passenger comfort is taken care of.
