| Abstract | This document presents highlights from five research reports on airport greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories. It presents the most salient findings for policy makers and U.S. airports seeking to better understand and inventory airport GHG emissions. The emphasis in this summary is to provide recommendations on reasonably accurate and low cost methods to inventory airport GHGs. The first step in reducing GHG emissions is the development of a baseline inventory. Inventorying GHG emissions at airports can help airport officials better understand emissions trends; identify the sources and activities where there are opportunities for GHG reduction; set GHG reductions targets; and track progress toward meeting targets. Information on the usability, affordability, and reliability of various inventory methods is provided to help airports make the most of limited resources. |
