Austin Airport Earns Carbon Neutrality Accreditation, Key to City's Environmental Goals
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has earned accreditation as carbon neutral for the second straight year and is the only carbon neutral airport in the United States, according to airport officials.
“We are very excited about it,” said BJ Carpenter, sustainability coordinator for the airport's environmental division. “It is not an easy task to be able to achieve. For a smaller, medium-sized airport to be able to achieve this level of carbon neutrality is exciting. We think it’s a positive driver for carbon management at the airport, and we’re very proud of it.”
