Defining scope 1, 2 and 3
Copenhagen Airports accounts for its climate impact in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, dividing our greenhouse gas emissions into three scopes.
Our footprint and targets
Net zero is defined as the greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere being balanced by the removal of a corresponding amount of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere (a maximum of 10% of a baseline level).
By 2030, we aim to be net zero in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, meaning we will have reduced our operational emissions to a level at or below 10% of our 2019 levels. Any residual emissions will be compensated for through investment in carbon removal credits.
By 2050, we aim to be net zero in scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. A sub-target is to have net zero energy- and fuel consumption from partners as well as net zero ground traffic to and from the airport by 2030.
