Finavia aims for net zero emissions by 2025

Finavia’s newly published responsibility programme claims its main goal is to reduce carbon emissions of Finland’s airports to net zero by the end of 2025.
The plan is to reach such level as early as next year at four airports in Lapland: Rovaniemi, Kittilä, Ivalo and Kuusamo. In 2024, Helsinki Airport will follow, whilst all of Finavia’s airports should reach net zero by the end of 2025.

All electricity that Finavia uses has been 100% wind and solar energy for several years already. Airport maintenance vehicles are filled up with renewable diesel made from waste and leftovers.

In order to neutralise the remaining carbon emissions, Finavia is participating in projects that capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. These include projects such as growing forest in areas where there is none. Finavia’s projects meet the criteria of the global Airport Carbon Accreditation programme.
