Pittsburgh international Airport's new terminal building
will be powered by its own self-sustaining microgrid.
together with other airports, airport trade
groups, aviation regulators, and air carriers
to create an action-oriented working group
that will create a framework for airport
infrastructure.
The group will work to create an action
plan for sustainable airport infrastructure
that can be used worldwide to help airports
plan for on-site energy storage, ground
vehicle electrification, the creation and use
of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and
prepare for the next generation of aircraft
among other sustainable infrastructure
improvements.
" From our first-in-the-world microgrid to
our goal of producing sustainable aviation
fuel and hydrogen on-site, PIT is focused on
building a sustainable future and reflecting
our region's innovation right at the airport, "
said PIT CEO Christina Cassotis.
The airport's leadership in sustainability
makes it a perfect fit for SAE International's
goal to develop standards for sustainable
airports. SAE and PIT are partnering
UPDATE
Powering the airport
with cleaner energy
In 2021, PIT developed a microgrid on-site,
the first in the world to power a major
airport through on-site natural gas and
nearly 10,000 solar panels. The microgrid
has five natural gas-fired generators and
solar panels that work together to produce
up to 23 megawatts of electricity. Currently,
it powers both the airside and landside
terminals at the airport as well as the
airfield, on-site Hyatt hotel, and campus
gas station. Soon, it will energize PIT's new
terminal, too.
" We're the first airport in the world to be
completely off the grid, " Cassotis said.
" We've lowered our energy costs, we've
lowered our carbon output, and we have
guaranteed ourselves resiliency and
redundancy. We see this just as one
example of the work we are doing in
