In 2022, Liege Airport reported total carbon emissions of approximately 128,651,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 1,671,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 1,079,000 kg CO2e. The significant majority of emissions, approximately 125,901,000 kg CO2e, fell under Scope 3, indicating a substantial impact from indirect sources. Comparatively, in 2017, the airport's emissions were about 3,689,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 2,237,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 1,452,000 kg CO2e. This data highlights a notable shift in emissions profile over the years, particularly with the increase in Scope 3 emissions. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Liege Airport has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have set Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. The absence of formal climate pledges suggests that while emissions data is being tracked, there may be opportunities for enhanced climate action and commitment in the future.
