Against a background of rapid growth in the air travel industry, sustainable airport development issues have never
been so challenging. Airports and airlines are set to use more energy efficient resources in order to take on the demands of the 21st century.

Chairperson:
Professor Callum Thomas, Chair of Sustainable Aviation, Centre for Air Transport and the Environment,
Manchester Metropolitan University
Sustainable Aviation 2020 summarises the challenge posed by the air transport industry for Global climate change and the variety of approaches available to manage, mitigate and offset aviation climate change emissions. In the recent past, the implications of aviation growth for Global climate change has become a significant political issue generating calls for greater Government action.

Panel Session One: Airlines and the Climate Change Challenge

Investing in new, environmentally efficient aircraft
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, one of the world's first composite commercial aeroplanes, will use 20% less fuel per passenger than similarly sized aeroplanes, produce fewer carbon emissions, and will have quieter takeoffs and landings.
Herbert Lust, Director of Strategy,
Global Corporate Citizenship, The Boeing Company

Climate change – the challenge for airlines
Climate change is an important environmental issue for the air transport industry. Airlines need to address climate change in an efficient and effective way.
Karlheinz Haag, Head of Environmental Issues,
Lufthansa German Airlines

Environmental protection – emissions trading soon relevant for the aviation sector?
Manufacturers of jet engines have committed to reducing emissions significantly (noise and CO2 by 50%, NOx by 80%). Will take-off and landing fees soon be based on aircraft emissions? Values will have to be verified on the site.
Werner Betzenbichler, TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH


Panel Session Two: Airports and the Climate Change Challenge

How can airports reduce their greenhouse gas emissions?
Manchester Airport was one of the first European airports
to show its commitment to climate change and establish an environmental programme. How can airports maintain an active interest in the climate change debate and develop policies and initiatives that support the Government's commitment in reducing climate change related emissions?
Jonathan Bailey, Director of External Affairs,
Manchester Airport Group*

Stockholm Airport case study
Jonas Strömberg, Environmental Manager,
Stockholm Airport – LFV Group

Best practice to reduce CO2 in airports
Climate change and the aviation industry have a new focus: emissions. The city of El Prat has developed a study about the best practices on how European airports can diminish emissions.
Sergi Alegre Calero,
Vice Mayor, El Prat De Llobregat & Vice-President, Ariport Regions Conference


Panel Session Three: Suppliers and the Climate Change Challenge

New concepts in energy efficient airport operating systems
Since their introduction by Siemens-ADB in 2002 for all taxiway and stop bar applications, LED lights have proven
their ability to reduce the power consumption by 30 to 50%. Which new developments can be expected in the coming years to further decrease the energy consumption of airfield lighting systems?
Bruno Urbaing,
Marketing Manager ADB – A Siemens Company

What role can architects and good design play in helping airports improve their environmental credentials?
Can the design of airport terminal reduce their carbon emissions sufficiently to help aviation face the significant environmental challenges of the future? Can they even become carbon positive?
Stuart Barlow,
Director of Technology/Sustainability, 3DReid

Striving to reach the EU energy renewable targets
The EU commission is focusing on energy savings that are manifested in the CHP and building directives. These directives give guidance on how energy could be saved, but energy saving occurs only if the user and supplier can find suitable technical solutions – which also have to be economically viable.
Thomas Stenhede,
Application Manager, Wärtsilä

Airports and the environment – a vision of the future
Megatrends will have great impact on the way of life in the future. Get the answers to the challenges for aiports worldwide and share our vision of an airport in the future.
Günter Menden,
Head of the Airport Logistics Division, Industrial Solutions and Services, Siemens
