Explanations and motivation for the selected content of the agenda: Our strategy was to divide the study visit in three parts / themes. The first part focused on how we in the Stockholm region plan for a sustainable and competitive regional development and growth combined with planning for public transport and a high public transport market share. This is the entire Stockholm region in general but with a focus on the airport's importance and projects and actions related to Arlanda Airport. In the second part we wanted to disseminate how we are working to reduce the environmental impact, e.g. renewable fuels for busses and taxis and actions like pricing and mobility management to achieve more people make greener choices when it comes to travelling to and from the airport, e.g. using public transport. In the third part, we wanted to disseminate how we work to calculate and map emissions at Arlanda Airport from both the air traffic and the airport itself but also from activities and traffic in its vicinity. In connection with this, we also wanted to give information on how we work with different actions continuously to gradually reduce the airport's environmental impact.

1) What is the key message that you initially intended to convey through this visit to the other D-AIR partners?

We are asking you to define the objective that you had when organising this visit. You may have several objectives, but we ask you to prioritise them from most important (1) to least important (2) (3) (4)

Swedavia Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Stockholm Public Transport are very proud of its environmental work as well as our public transport system in the region and we really like to share our work with the project partners and other interested. But we have an ulterior motive, we want feedback and input on our solutions, how we could do differently, how we could do better. We are eager and very much interested in learning how we can reduce our emissions even more or work in ways to provide an even better and more attractive public transport and reduce CO2 from airport operations.

The objectives of the Stockholm study visit were: 1) To present the Stockholm region and the citation and the prevailing conditions here to

be able to relate and compare the Stockholm region with other regions 2) To present the goals that we work and how we follow up targets on emissions and C02

reduction. 3) To talk about how we work in the Stockholm and the concrete measures and activities

we are working with in order to achieve the goals, e.g. disseminate good practices, and for that matter, also chare less good practices.

4) To highlight some new possible actions for the future based on new research and technology.

5) To create discussion between the participants in order to share experiences and get different perspectives on the various issues and solutions.

2) Could you explain how you think the presentations made on the day supported the overall D-AIR objective, and yours. Please fill in the table for each presentation.

- How did the visit help in achieving the goals as mentioned in Q1? - Do you think the visit was useful for you? If yes, please explain how, if not what are the

recommendations you would have for colleagues?

Our assessment is that the visit was very successful and that all participants learned something new and good practices that could be implemented in other regions – and in the best case further developed in international cooperation. There are of course many similarities between metropolitan airport regions in Europe, that's why the project is, we face similar challenges. Meanwhile, all regions are unique. Stockholm region has strength in a long tradition in a centralized public transport authority as well as dealing with regional development planning and cooperation between different authorities and stakeholders. Another strength is that Swedavia Arlanda Airport and Stockholm PTA as a result of a long term strategic work with specified targets have approached environmental efforts and reduce in environmental emissions. The main goal for the visit was, of course, to spread information about how we in Stockholm works on these issues, how we work together to achieve it, and what solutions we applied. In this regard we have been able to share a lot of information and good practices. Meanwhile, we are always eager to learn more and to work for continuous improvement and therefore it has also been valuable for us to get reflections of what we do, questioning or confirmations and comparative examples from other regions is an important input into our future work. In this regard, we have as an organizer of this study visit also learned a lot.

The unexpected results - Have you faced any unexpected difficulties?

The new experience you get and learn at these kinds of visits are always unexpected, and must be so, otherwise there is no purpose of the visit. Concerning difficulties, arranging the visit was a difficulty itself, just simply to find enough time to finds all the preparations, all the planning and all administration. It required much more work than we had anticipated. At the same time we had high ambitions for the visit when we really wanted to share our work and provide an enjoyable and above all meaningful visit that could provide a better understanding for the participants. Another difficulty we encountered was punctuality, we were not able to start on time in the mornings (because of late arrivals), but also we didn´t manage to keep the time on the individual sessions. Our ambition was that two-thirds of each session would be devoted to lecture and one-third to discussions and questions but the presentations and discussions often took longer time than expected. Either we had too many and too short passes or so we had a lack of moderation of the speakers in the individual sessions. At the same time, the fact that many sessions pulled over suggesting that we had interesting talks and interested and engaged participants, so in the end, the problem is not really huge, we are doing this to learn and exchange experiences. But the timing aspect is important to consider when we have deadlines, e.g. lunch or external speakers that can only participate during the scheduled time of their session. One difficulty that often appear at similar conferences is that it might not be quite so many questions in plenary as it gets in smaller groups, e.g. during coffee breaks and the evening social events. One tip is to have more and longer coffee breaks than what we had but also as

5

we did social events aiming to contribute to more spontaneous conversations with different participants than the nearest neighbor at the table. - Have you had any new ideas thanks to the visit? If yes, please describe / explain. We got some good inputs regarding the way our passengers perceives us. We do have a high percentage of passengers using public transport and we do have a wide range of choises based on different tariffs and travel time. However the wide range of choises might be confusing by it self for a new passengers. The ticketing and informationsystem could be simplified. We also found out that our the fact that we have 100% ecotaxis was very difficult to find out by a passenger. New signs have been put at the taxistations after the vsit.

B. CO2-reduction - Introduction

Below a briefly table summarising will follow about the main practices and challenges identified in the Start Position Report for each sub-theme.

Surface Access Challenges: The great challenge is to increase the market share for public transports to and from Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Public transport in the County of Stockholm has a rather high market share, but not to and from Arlanda. Arlanda has an emission cap in the environmental permit (given by the national government 1991), which states that the emissions of CO2 and NOx cannot exceed the level of 1990. The emission sources include surface access. Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Stockholm Public Transport hope to solicit new innovative ideas about to increase market share for public access to the airport. Main practises: 1) Many public transport alternatives to and from Arlanda are provided: Express train, commuter train, different local busses and airport coaches (also green taxis; all taxis allowed to pick up passengers at Arlanda are eco-taxis) 2) Cooperation: Swedavia, Stockholm Arlanda Airport, and Stockholm Public transport have signed a letter of intent (signed off by directors) with the public transport companies within the region and the regional authorities to improve the public transport system to the airport (which has resulted in measures…) 3) Large share of busses run by renewable fuels, all rail services use Green electricity 4) Reduced ticket prices for airport employees 5) different measures taken to encourage passengers and employees to use public transports.

Airport Operations Challenges:

6

Besides the ground transportation to and from the airport and the air traffic, the remaining emissions come from special surface vehicles operating on airport premises (energy already produced from renewable fuels). The main benefit that Arlanda hopes to gain is a strategy for an increased pace in development of environmentally special vehicles (such as fire trucks) and increased demand for these products, which will increase the manufactures interest in developing these vehicles. Main practises: 1) Purchase of energy, heating and electricity, produced from renewable sources and usage of aquifer for cooling and heating 2) energy saving measures 3) vehicles using biogas or diesel and petrol with high percentage of renewable sources 4) renewable fuel is used for fire exercise 5)eco-driving.

C. Airport operator activities

4) What is the main message that you want to convey to the D-AIR partners concerning C02 reduction measures from airport operator activities? Concerning CO2 reduction from airport activities Swedavia would like to share knowledge and experience of: - Airport Carbon Accrediation; Stockholm Arlanda was the first airport to meet the

requirements for the highest level of a programme, Airport Carbon Accreditation, assessing the environmental impact of airports.

- Swedavia´s sustainable business model based on the four perspectives: customer, economy, social development and environmental concern.

- The main measures which have reduced CO2 emissions at Arlanda: 1) Purchase of energy, heating and electricity, produced from renewable sources and usage of aquifer for cooling and heating 2) energy saving measures 3) vehicles using biogas or diesel and petrol with high percentage of renewable sources 4) renewable fuel is used for fire exercise 5) eco-driving.

- Calculation and measuring methods - Off-setting and climate neutrality (for the remaining measures off-setting is used).

Project 1 X CO2 reduction measure

11) Did the discussions/exchanges with other dAIR project partners during the study visit give you some answers to your challenges/difficulties (identified in the Start Position Report, for ex) on airport operations? The D-AIR partners gave many ideas on how to increase the market share of public transport to and from the airport (also the theme of the work shop) which was our major challenge. E.g. the ticketing- and informationsystem for public transport could be simplified For airport operations we got ideas of electrical vehicles.

12) What project did you find more interesting of the projects submitted in the regional transport stakeholders’ forum meeting or expert coordination meeting? Within the framework of the Letter of Intent continue the work for increased accessibility to/from Arlanda and reduced environmental impact (focusing on CO2) through new activities. E.g. continue to work on the idea to reduce the CO2-emissions from “Kiss-and-Fly” travels.

13) Which CO2 reduction measure from airport operator activities can you implement/ replicate in the short/medium/long term? Most of the measures reducing CO2 from airport operator activities presented during the study visit are already implemented.

1 Cooperation and Letter of Intent with public transport companies and authorities

Swedavia, Airport director/Ground Transportation/Public Affairs

Swedavia, Stockholm Arlanda Airport, has signed a letter of intent (signed off by Airport director 2008) with the public transport companies (Stockholm Public Transport included here) within the region and the regional authorities to improve the public transport system to the airport. The aim is to reduce emissions and environmental impact and to increase accessibility of public transport to the airport (public transport resulting in a higher amount of passengers taking the public transport to the airport rather than using their own car). Stakeholders and Swedavia are meeting each other regularly via Arlanda Forum to evaluate progressions of the actions decided are discussed. Participants of the Arlanda Forum are those who signed the letter of intent. Since 2008 the marketshare for public transport to and from the airport has increased from 45 % to 51 %. During 2010-2012 a review panel to the Arlanda forum has mainly been the case. Examples of measures :

- Coordination of public transport time tables and tickets

- Increased railway capacity and increased access to the private railway Arlandabanan

- Commuter train to Arlanda (started Dec 2012)

- Increased share of renewable fuels for busses

- More projects… There are also two subgroups:

- The Arlanda forum public transport group is meeting four times per year. Swedavia together with the public transports companies find out solutions for better public transports to Arlanda e.g. changes in time tables for busses.

- The Arlanda forum public transport group (staff) is also meeting three times per year. Swedavia together with the operative managers and marketing managers of the main companies at the airport work for better commuting solutions based on e.g. employee travel researches.

14

Other cooperation forums

- Municipalities of Arlanda (The four closest municipalities of Arlanda. Cooperation to maximize benefits of an International Airport)

Do you intend to involve them in the future? Yes!

21) Question for public authority partner: Have you taken or do you intend to take ‘innovation’

measures that fall completely within the scope of your own competences and which have or will contribute(d) positively to the dAIR objectives? (such as buying and procurement policies) During our participation in D-AIR, we have taken note of several good practices. At the end of the project we will evaluate which of those that we believe have a potential for Stockholm and Arlanda and are possible considering the conditions that applies here. However, we have an ongoing process where we work within the stakeholder forum “Arlanda Forum” and other collaborative projects in order to identify and implement continuous improvements that are in line with the D-AIR objectives. For example, we have recently reached the target of 100% buses on renewable fuel in Arlanda area. We work together with Swedavia with mobility management for companies and workers at the airport in order to get more people to travel by public transport. We are also constantly working to adjust traffic supply and departure times to match the needs of passengers and commuters. Next project is to introduce a new night bus service between Stockholm and Uppsala via Arlanda at times when the commuter train does not operate. After obtaining additional knowledge from different visits in the D-AIR project good practices, we hope to be able to introduce even more improvements and innovative solutions.


X See above.

22) Are there any relevant innovation projects in your region (including those not shown

during the study visit)? If yes, please explain the project(s). - Project 1: We are working very actively for all SLL public transport to be powered by

renewable fuels as well as permanent facilities. To achieve this, we buy not only the environment friendly buses but we also work with the market to build an infrastructure to deal with this, such as biogas plants and pipelines.

- Project 2: We have in the region, in partnership between different stakeholders actively worked for (by us) a unique solution with a private-public funding to establish a new railway through our airport as without this model probably could not be built by government alone or only private funds for that matter. There are proposals (only proposals) on the same funding model could be a solution for the construction of a

18

railway from the north-eastern parts of Stockholm (from the existing rail system Roslagsbanan) to Arlanda.

- Project 3: We have in Sweden jointly between all regions adopted a target of doubling the public transport market share at the end of 2020, perhaps an unattainable goal in numbers but an essential to support us in our efforts to improve traffic and propose new investments. To support the objective the PTAs in Sweden’s greater metropolitan areas jointly launched a research and knowledge center around public transport in order to identify innovative solutions and strategies.

- Project 4: We are currently testing a new procurement tendering model in a large part of the region's bus services where the contractor is paid only per passenger transported and not in the traditional way by the hour and kilometres produced. With this model agreement, we hope that the contractor is to be more interested in actively planning changes and improvements to traffic for achieving increased travel.

- Project 5: We are considering in long term to introducing a system for ordering supplementary traffic in areas with too low passenger base of traditional bus routes. This system we hope could also be coordinated with our transportation service system for travel for elderly and disabled people. In this work, we see over collaboration opportunities with project in Helsinki and Copenhagen.

24) Did the discussions/exchanges with project partners during the study visit give you some answers to your challenges/difficulties (identified in the Start Position Report) on surface access? The D-AIR partners gave many ideas on how to increase the market share of public transport to and from the airport (also the theme of the work shop) which was our major challenge (see presentation on the result of the workshop).

25) What project did you find more interesting of the projects submitted in the regional transport stakeholders’ forum meeting or expert coordination meeting? Within the framework of the Letter of Intent continue the work for increased accessibility to/from Arlanda and reduced environmental impact (focusing on CO2) through new

19

activities. E.g. continue to work on the idea to reduce the CO2-emissions from “Kiss-and-Fly” travels.

26) What action should be implemented to improve surface access to/from the airport visited? - Continued work on mobility management, please see nr 21 above. - Improvements of better cross-connections in the public transport system are considered,

which however proved difficult to solve when it comes to cost-benefits (passenger base is limited).

- We look at ways to introduce road tolls for private cars to the airport which depending on pricing system could be used to contribute to an increased use of green cars or reduction in car traffic in favour of public transport (airport is today very easy to reach by car, there is good capacity in the road network around the airport except from central Stockholm so public transport have a difficulty to compete).

27) Are there any similar projects implemented at other airports in Europe? If yes, please explain the implementation process. Probably, and thereof we hope to learn more in this project.

28) Which measures presented should be considered as good practices? See question 18 above.

2. For visiting partners

A. Airport operator activities

1) Which C02 reduction project/measure from airport operator activities was the most interesting? Please explain. Bologna Measure 3; Aquifer for heating and cooling. We think this technology can be used on a large scale and can applied at different latitudes, including Italy. Eindhoven Airport The most interesting reduction project is the ongoing project: zero emission. The way they can achieve this is that Swedavia has made environment a basic foundation in the business model. Malta Measure 4 a, b, c: Changing all lighting to LEDs is an effective and simple idea which can be applied anywhere with instant results. Moreover, saving energy by ‘not wasting it’, that is by making a through exercise of where energy is being used excessively and then addressing it, is a measure that every airport can undergo. Mazovia As the most interesting project/measure presented during Stockholm Study Visit we consider a complex of energy saving measures, e.g.: LED installations, Steering of lighting and engine pre-heaters, Demand controlled ventilation. Together with the project of cooperation and Letter of Intent with airport companies it shows and confirms that achievement the effect of the CO2 emission reduction is real and it has to be based on cooperation of all parties involved in airport operations. Prague Measure 3; Aquifer for heating and cooling looked very interesting. It´s efficient and additionally it helps to solve problem with the amount of rainwater. Vienna The regional implementation plan, because it is effective in every part of the airport system. It may be quite easy, to set measures in one part – but the activities in the hole system is quite ambitious and exemplary Leipzig The most interesting project was the Airport Carbon Accreditation for Stockholm Arlanda. As the main result of all CO2 reducing activities made by Stockholm Arlanda it became the first airport which met the requirements of this programme at the highest level. Energy saving measures are the right way to reduce CO2. Energy guidelines and Energy forums can be good measures to support the CO2 reduction process on each airport in the long run.

3) What action should be implemented to improve airport operator activities at the airport

visited? Bologna Improve the green vehicle fleet of the airport by increasing the no. of electric ones. Influence the energy efficiency of complementary activities (trade, hotel, office, catering plane) inside the Airport. Eindhoven Airport Swedavia has taken many reduction measures concerning electricity and ground transport at the airport. Maybe in the near future they can also focus on water. For instance a grey water system for rain water collection.

Malta Improve the green vehicle fleet for use as part of airport operations. Consider grid connected energy supply for planes while on ‘idle’ where the energy is purchased from renewable resources.

Prague We are not sure how complementary service activities – hotels, trade etc. - are involved in the CO2 cutting campaign. Terres de France Better signalization of the public transport supply. Vienna Green electricity.

5) Which CO2 reduction measure from airport operator activities is not suitable for your airport? Please explain why. Bologna All the measurements are applicable but some would have feasibility problems: eg. aquifer may not be compatible with the of groundwater height, and could have effects of subsidence, there may also be authorization problems in relation to human consumption of the resource. Eindhoven Airport Biogas station. Eindhoven Airport has a shortage in areas which we can use for these activities. Malta The aquifer solution may not be applicable to Malta, however, further study would need to be made. Mazovia The least suitable project for the Warsaw/Modlin Airport are: (1) purchase of district heating produced from biofuel and (2) purchase of “green electricity”. These measures are feasible but not in a short and medium term perspective due to our current national (and specially regional) structure of energy production, due to a weak conditions for renewable energy development (especially from wind, geothermal and water flow sources) and current availability of energy based on coal combustion. It will obviously change and would be suitable but in a long-term perspective. Prague The purchase of green electricity is difficult because of lack of the sources. All the other measurements are applicable, but in the different level, depending from the starting position, specific and objective condition in different partners region and their airports. Vienna At the moment it seems not to be possible, to have only green taxis. And it is also seems to be not possible, to set measures in every part of the airport system. But we also hope and think, that long term we can also reach this aims! Leipzig Aquifer for heating and cooling: it’s not possible to change the existing equipment in the short term. It will only be relevant for the planning of new facilities.

6) Are there any similar projects implemented at your airport or at other airports in Europe? If yes, please explain the implementation process. Bologna In Bologna: measure 4, 4b, 4d.

26

The Airport is implementing an Energy Management System according to ISO 50001. In the frame of the Airport requalification, LED units will be installed. Eindhoven Airport Eindhoven Airport also has an aquifer installed. On request of Eindhoven Airport (in 2005) our supplier installed the aquifer during the construction of the terminal. During the last construction of the expansion of the terminal and hotel (2013) we altered the capacity of the aquifer (including the legislation concerning extracting groundwater).

Malta Traditional light bulbs at the Malta International Airport building were replaced to more energy efficient ones. Mazovia Some aspects of energy saving measures and environmental vehicles have been implemented at Warsaw/Modlin Airport already. For instance, the lighting systems are operated manually and they could be used (switched-on) partially, when and where needed. We also launched to our operation electric cars, which are used by two of our divisions and some subcontractors – the handling service.

Prague In Prague: measure 4, 5. The Airport is implementing an Energy Management System. In the frame of the Airport requalification, LED units will be installed. There is used, at Prague Airport, “free cooling system” as cooling in suitable weather conditions. The suitable weather conditions generally are outdoor temperatures below 0°C during winter time. The Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 buildings are such a huge buildings, that in their midsections the internal heat gains from various electric, IT, kitchen etc. infrastructure, exceed heat loses even in the winter time. Due to that it is necessary to cool these midsections of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 also during the winter. Nevertheless during outdoor temperatures below 0°C is used “free cooling” which means that coolant water is cooled directly in heat exchanger to 8°C with use of cold air below 0°C without need to switch on central cooling unit. The implementation process of free cooling took place as part of central cooling engine room at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 reconstruction.

Vienna We started the Work for the Airport Carbon Accreditation and reached level 1 - Mapping. Work for level 2 – Reduction is in progress. Leipzig At the moment we implement an energy management system at the airports of Dresden and Leipzig/Halle. To define energy guidelines and to install energy forums are the main issues of this process. In addition we will establish an energy management programme, which we update yearly.

B. Surface Access

7) Which surface access project/measure was the most interesting? Please explain.

27

Bologna Measure 1; Cooperation and Letter of Intent with public transport companies and authorities, because the involvement of the partners/stakeholders is likely to achieve a greater effect in CO2 emissions reduction, due to the wider and more efficient set of policies that can be put in place. Eindhoven Airport Electric busses and trains. City of Eindhoven Eye openers: Legislation and letters of intent are driving forces for action. There were two interesting measures. The 1st measure the subsidized public transport concept including various transport providers (by rail and on the road) offering different services, thus enabling passengers to choose their optimal mix of speed and price (the higher the speed the more expensive it becomes). The 2nd measure was the Eco-taxi project: the cleaner the taxi the more priority it gets when picking up passengers. Other interesting measures are sustainable public transport, eco-driving and economic incentives for employees to use public transport.

Malta Measure 1; Letter of Intent with public transport companies and authorities was quite interesting, because the involvement of the partners/stakeholders is likely to achieve a greater effect in CO2 emissions reduction, due to the wider and more efficient set of policies that can be put in place. Moreover, the implementation of CO2 reduction measures on surface transport activities will also have a positive effect – in terms of the reduction of transport’s negative externalities – on the areas surrounding the airport and not just on the airport itself. Measure 2; The Eco-taxi system was especially interesting. Relative to its effects, it took little effort on the part of the airport operator – simply setting a priority to CO2-efficient taxis to pick up passengers first - and then left it to market and competition forces to do the rest. The results achieved in such little time are impressive. Measure 4; Installing electric charges within the airport car park, encourages employees to switch to an electric car. Measure 5; Encouraging people to use public transport is the simplest solution, but the hardest to achieve. However, if the right measures are taken, the effects are positive both on air quality, on congestion and, in turn, on an overall better experience for passengers passing through the airport. Mazovia As the most interesting (for us) surface access project presented during Stockholm Study Visit we consider the cooperation and Letter of Intent with public transport companies and authorities. It is particularly interesting for Warsaw/Modlin Airport at the moment (when we begin operations) because shows us how the model cooperation should be carried. Prague Measure ;1 Cooperation and Letter of Intent with public transport companies and authorities is important background for all other measures, because the involvement of the

28

partners/stakeholders is essential condition to achieve a greater effect in CO2 emissions reduction, due to the wider and more efficient set of policies that can be put in place. Vienna The most interesting project was the Project for “Green taxi”, as it would be very effective in Vienna, if we could manage it. Leipzig Cooperation: Swedavia, Stockholm Arlanda Airport, and Stockholm Public transport have signed a letter of intent (signed off by directors) with local public transport companies and the regional authorities to improve the public transport system to the airport. This project brings together all actors and it enables the exchange of different knowledge about the public transport system to the airport and the actual behaviour and problems of the users.

9) What action should be implemented to improve surface access to/from the airport visited? Bologna Improve communication about public transport ticket purchase, in order to have a more easy and clear information, also highlighting any discounted rate for groups; provide, if possible, the opportunity to buy the public transport ticket together with the flight ticket, and have a discount. Eindhoven Airport One ticketing system for bus tranport. City of Eindhoven Entrance/congestion charge for private transport El Prat To provide Free Public Transport Cards to all strategic workers of the Airport and Companies Malta Make the cheaper rail connections more visible; maybe offer a solution while buying an air ticket to Arlanda where the passenger may pick the transport service to the city while purchasing the airplane ticket. Mazovia Ticket prices for rail transport to/from the Arlanda Airport should be reduced. Prague Communication about public transport ticket purchase isn´t bad, but it could be useful for passenger to improve it, in order to have a more easy and clear information in one place.

11) Which surface access project is not suitable for your airport? Please explain why.

Bologna Measure 3 (Infrastructure biogas) because in the current vehicle fleet, biogas cars are not a significant percentage. Eindhoven Airport Eco taxi’s. Eindhoven Airport has just agreed on new contracts with our taxi companies. City of Eindhoven Since Eindhoven Airport is a small airport the multi-modal transport concept is not applicable here. The same applies to the eco-taxi concept (requires high investments and the return on investments would be too little). El Prat All of them are suitable Malta Measure 3 (Infrastructure biogas) may not be the right solution at the moment since the number of vehicles making use of biogas is still quite low. However, efforts are being made to encourage the switch of vehicles from conventional fuel to gas, and the measure is slowly picking up. Therefore this might be a good solution for the medium term. The same can be said for the Eco-taxi (Measure2). The idea of greening transport is slowly being introduced to the general public. Awareness is rising, albeit slow; the price of green vehicles, especially electric vehicles, is still a major hurdle. However, in the medium term, when the market price of the vehicles is lower, and public acceptance is higher, this might be a very effective solution.

33

Mazovia Due to high costs of needed investments, a little use of the electric and biogas cars in Poland and relatively long distance from WMI Airport to Warsaw, the following projects/measures are not (the least) suitable for us (in a short and medium-term perspective): Ecotaxi system, Biogas infrastructure and Electric chargers. Prague Everything is suitable, but some measures like n. 3 Infrastructure biogas and n.4. electric chargers will be a little bit difficult, because there are no biobuses in the current vehicle fleet of the biggest bus company – Transportation company of City of Prague.

12) Are there any similar projects implemented at your airport or at other airports in Europe? If yes, please explain the implementation process.

Bologna Measure 4; Electric charger in Bologna. There is already an electric charging station inside the airport, in addition there is the proposal by the University of Bologna to include the Airport in a network of companies hosting electric recharge stations where it will be possible to replace batteries. Measure 1; Cooperation and Letter of Intent with public transport companies and authorities This activity is among those we are implementing as a development of the Territorial Agreement, signed between the airport operator and local authorities, as well as in the frame of the D-Air Stakeholder forums, establishing a permanent and periodic discussion table. Eindhoven Airport No. City of Eindhoven Should we find out during future study visits. El Prat Yes, measures 1, 4 and 5. The implementation process is similar to Swedavia.

Malta Measure 4; Electric chargers are being installed at most localities all over Malta. While none is yet installed at the airport at the moment, it is something which might be done. Mazovia The cooperation with public transport companies and authorities, as well as encourage to use public transport, are the projects, which have been launched recently but they are in initial phase yet. Prague We founded last year with other stakeholders North – west Transport Forum and we started preparatory works to prepare Letter of intent with public transport and companies. Vienna Airport Carbon Accreditation. International Railway station on the airport.

39

Some of them; surface access solutions are often related to the size of the airport or the organizational and cultural setting. El Prat Yes, all. Malta Measures implemented in terms of surface access can easily be implemented in other countries and not just restricted to airports; electric chargers can be installed at any parking area/ priority parking to green cars can be done in any public parking area/ enforcing eco driving on bus drivers can literally be done everywhere etc. Mazovia All presented issued and solutions could be useful for other EU-parties. Prague The experiences presented are certainly very inspiring for other European airport regions.

Terres de France Yes. The whole experience of the Swedish-Arlanda decarbonisation model should inspire all the operators. Vienna Everything, see above; but especially mapping in level 4. Leipzig Eco-Taxis / BioFuel.
