The airport's emissions data for 2020 to 2022 is not disclosed in absolute terms but indicates a decreasing trend in climate intensity per traffic unit, with values of 2.83, 1.94, and 1.26 kg CO2e per traffic unit for the respective years. Frankfurt Airport has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from any parent organisation. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies to align with industry standards. The airport's focus on improving climate intensity metrics reflects an ongoing commitment to sustainability, although further transparency and specific targets would strengthen its climate strategy.
