Cutting GSE carbon emissions by 80% at Paris CDG
Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of Sats Group, will achieve an 80% reduction in carbon emissions from its ground support equipment (GSE) at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport by replacing conventional fuel with biofuel.
Starting this month, biofuel will power WFS GSE such as tow trucks, self-propelled aircraft stairs, ground power units, loaders, aircraft pushback vehicles, baggage belt loaders, cargo transporters, and air start units. These are used to handle over 2,850 flights a year at the airport.
WFS will consume over 400,000 litres of biofuel HVO 100 from supplier Campus (a member of Avia Group) to support 82% of its yearly GSE energy consumption. HVO 100 is a type of renewable diesel derived from waste and residues, including animal fat, industrial waste, and wastewater. (cj)
