New software aims to help airports reduce carbon emissions
New software has been launched to track aviation emissions in real time. PACE Airports by Fexco aims to support airports deliver on their emissions reduction targets. This week the Financial Times reported that European airline emissions are on course to exceed pre-pandemic levels this year. This is despite a global commitment by the sector to reach net-zero by 2050 - through a mix of new technologies, alternative fuels and more efficient aircraft, engines and air traffic management. Fexco says its software offers real-time aviation emissions reporting that allows sustainability teams to focus on the actions rather than the calculations. It said the platform was initially launched with aircraft financiers to support them, with emissions reporting and insights on aircraft within their portfolio. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, the Chief Strategy Officer with the Fexco Group, Bertie Murphy, said PACE Airports has live data at the click of a button. "They have insights from the platform allowing them to focus on embedding sustainability right across their aviation operational processes," said Mr Murphy. "They can see key performance indicators that allow them to measure progress against reducing their emissions and more importantly, they can understand the opportunities for reduction as well with the insights from the platform." Fexco announced that Christchurch Airport in New Zealand is their first customer on the platform. Christchurch Airport is a global leader in sustainable airport management and a pioneer in the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme. It is the first airport in the world to reach level 4 in 2020 and to achieve level 5 accreditation in 2023. It is among only 18 other airports worldwide to achieve this rating. The airport said they chose PACE Airports so they can track, analyse and action live data rather than on an annual basis. The Sustainability Transition Leader at Christchurch Airport Claire Waghorn said that Christchurch Airport has always leaned into sustainability and innovation. "We first started tracking our emissions in 2006, and we have continually challenged what more we can do in decarbonisation through innovation and adaptability," said Ms Waghorn. "Our strategy has always been data-driven, and PACE unlocks a new level of insight and intelligence that is really exciting for us as we continue our sustainability journey. "At Christchurch Airport, our key focus on this sustainability journey has always been optimising our entire operations to reduce emissions; the insights from the PACE Airports platform now give us data to consider our aviation-related emissions across the entire airport operations."
