CHENNAI: The aviation sector globally has a huge role to play in strengthening the sustainability pillars viz. environment, social and economic. The future depends on the sustainable work we do today! And staying committed to its sustainable goals, Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has entirely switched to green sources for its energy consumption needs, making it one of India’s 100 percent sustainable airports. CSMIA was the first in India to launch hybrid technology which solely runs on green energy since April 2022, thus enabling a highly efficient and low carbon future for aviation. This sustainable initiative undertaken by CSMIA is part of the airport’s efforts that reduces its carbon footprint which further propels its journey towards ‘Net Zero’ emissions.

 

Out of the total 100%, CSMIA procures around 5% of the airport’s electricity requirement through its onsite solar generation and the rest 95% from other green sources such as hydro & wind energy. Ushering into a sustainable future, CSMIA witnessed a rise in natural energy procurement with 57% green consumption in April 2022 to a whopping 98% between May to July. And finally attained the landmark 100% utilization of renewable sources of energy in August 2022. CSMIA is ISO 50001:2018 (Energy Management System) and ISO 14001:2015 certified company. The airport is committed to continuous reduction in energy consumption and carbon footprint through various initiatives. Moreover, CSMIA initially undertook the measure of installing 1.06MW rooftop solar power plant, which the airport eventually strengthened to 4.66 MW. This effort was recognised by the Confederation of India Industry (CII) where CSMIA was awarded the National Award for Excellence in Energy Management Excellent Energy.
