What did daa submit for Level 1: Mapping

Our signed Sustainability Policy Verified Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions (our footprint) Completed Application form & Payment fee

daa obtained Level 1 for Dublin, Cork and Shannon in 2010


8/24

Compiling the Footprint

In line with GHG protocol (Scope 1, 2, 3)

Set the Boundary (what is in?) Based on Control, Guide & Influence Include stationary & mobile combustion plant, process

emissions, emissions from purchased electricity Use standard emissions factors or site specific (with robust

supporting data)

Level 2: Reduction

Our signed Sustainability Policy Verified Scope 1 & 2 emissions Reduction target Documented Carbon Management Plan Completed Application form & Payment fee

Obtained Level 2 for Dublin & Cork in 2011 and Shannon in2012


12/24

Level 2 Target Setting

Must set targets for carbon reduction Can be Absolute (tonnes CO 2) or Relative (tonnes CO 2 per unit

of activity)Target Pros Cons

Absolute Robust as it specifies a total amount ofGHG reduction

Transparent

Target base year recalculations requirefor major infrastructure

No comparison on intensity/efficiency Rewards decline in output or punishes

unexpected growth

Relative Reflects improvements independent ofgrowth or decline

Target base year recalcs not usuallyrequired

No guarantee that GHG emissions willreduced

Work unit metric may be difficult todefine/select


13/24

daa agreed targets

Internal stakeholder meetings held. Final decision was to use Absolutetarget as this was in line with existing energy targets

Delivering GHG emission reductions

Do or use less of what causes the emissions Use less gas in boilers by optimising controls Drive fewer kilometres by planning routes better

Change the technology used to do the activity that producesemissions Upgrade to condensing boilers Change to alternative fuel vehicles Optimise CHP engines using technology

Level 3 (daa Level 2 only)

Signed Policy Verified Scope 1 & 2 & 3 emissions (Scope 3 includes LTO,

Surface access, staff business travel, metered tenant electricity) Reduction target & evidence of achievement (Scope 1&2

emissions only) Documented Carbon Management Plan

Evidence of activities with stakeholders Completed Application form & Payment fee

Programme Costs

Direct Costs Annual Programme Participation fees

Third party verification Indirect Costs

Internal cost to airport of preparing carbon footprint andsubmitting application.

daa has not used consultants to date for Level 1 & 2.

Internal resources required but not fully dedicated When daa moves to Level 3, consultants may berequired for Scope 3 Footprint development


18/24

How are direct costs reduced?

Verification every 2 years if the airport stays at the same

level (no upgrade) Webinars: training verifiers so the airports do not pay for

their learning curves List of trained verifiers: for competition and bringing down

the costs of verification

3-yearly renewal cycle after 3 years at Level 3/3+


19/24

Benefit for daa

Designed by airports for airports

Recognised & Endorsed

Consistent, compatible and compliant with carbon emissionsstandards

Excellent Communication opportunities

Reduction in operational costs, improved efficiencies

Airport Carbon Accreditation is a highly significantmeaningful and measurable action in addressing temissions. I commend ACI for its success with the pfor extending it to the Asia-Pacific region, in line withfor dealing with climate change

Benefits

Improved habits on Data management

Cross functional internal cooperation Collaboration with stakeholders Climate change is global: Response should be global Opens dialogue with other airports and external bodies Progressive/Continuous improvement

Summary

Since 2009 daa experience with Programme is very positive

We are progressing within the Programme Much more than a Footprint but not just a Stamp Supports existing Footprints/Inventories Support from peer airports and Administrator Airport Carbon Accreditation supports our sustainability goals


23/24

Final Thoughts

Most Recent IPCC Report states Carbonemissions are highest in history

Large scale transformations of energy production,land use and lifestyles are required to preventtemperature increases beyond 2 degrees

Climate Change impacts. Possible Future!17000 flights cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy.8-9% of global capacity was grounded = 1.6 billioavailable seat kilometresLoss of revenue $0.5 Billion
