Hamburg Airport Plans Own Windpark

One of Germany’s largest airports aims to produce its own regenerative power in order to become CO2-emissions-free by 2035.

The airport servicing Germany’s second biggest city, Hamburg, is investing EUR 70 million to construct a windpark that will begin generating electricity by 2027 or 2028. To this end, it has also formed a subsidiary, Sustainable Energy Solutions (SES).

“The founding of SES is a sign that we intend to waste no time in using wind power to make Hamburg Airport energy independent,” said SES CEO Johannes Scharnberg in a statement.

The plans foresee the construction of six wind turbines that will generate enough electricity to supply the airport’s more than one hundred buildings as well as its entire infrastructure. The aim is to become carbon neutral within the next twelve years.

The airport currently covers 70 percent of its heating and 30 percent of its electricity needs with its own gas-powered central heating plant. The electricity it purchases from outside sources is completely CO2 neutral, according to the airport website.
