Reduction

All this talk about ‘tonnes of CO2’ can sometimes make the reductions achieved hard to visualise. How much energy does a ton of CO2 equate to? On this page, we try to give you some context on the collective reductions airports have reported for this year and previous years.

  • 56,633 tonnes

    of CO2 (equivalent to the annual CO2 sequestered by 399 acres of forest)

    July 2009 - June 2010

  • 51,501 tonnes

    of CO2 (equivalent to removing over 12,700 cars from the roads)

    July 2010 - June 2011

  • 77,782 tonnes

    of CO2 (enough to power 32,490 households for a year)

    July 2011 - June 2012

  • 110,003 tonnes

    of CO2 (enough to power 45,949 households for a year)
