Charged up to enhance energy efficiency

The AA recently joined two global environmental initiatives, EV100 and EP100, which are initiated by The Climate Group. In doing so, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has become the world’s first airport to sign up and support both commitments.

As a member of EV100, which honours companies making significant commitments to introduce electric vehicles, the AA is committed to increasing the number of electric vehicles (EVs) operating at HKIA from the existing 720 to 3,000 by 2030 and providing over 1,320 charging points to support airport operations. Furthermore, over 100 chargers will be installed in public car parks for the airport community and passengers.

Under EP100, the AA will expand the scope of its ISO 50001-certified energy management system to cover all terminal buildings by 2020 and boost its energy productivity by 30% by 2030 from a 2015 baseline. The EP100 initiative recognises energy-smart companies worldwide that are driving innovation in energy efficiency.
