Frankfurt Airport's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Frankfurt Airport reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,745,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 37,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were around 133,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 1,575,000,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, although specific reduction targets or initiatives were not disclosed. The airport's emissions have shown a trend over the years, with 2021 emissions at approximately 1,940,000,000 kg CO2e and 2020 emissions at about 2,830,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a gradual decrease in emissions intensity relative to traffic volume. The climate intensity of traffic volume for 2022 was reported at 1.26 kg CO2e per traffic unit, down from 1.94 kg CO2e in 2021 and 2.83 kg CO2e in 2020. Frankfurt Airport has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a proactive stance in climate commitments. The absence of cascaded data from a parent organization suggests that the airport operates independently in its emissions reporting and climate strategy. Overall, while the airport has made strides in reducing emissions intensity, further commitments and targets would enhance its climate action profile.
