6.17 Low carbon airport infrastructure (climate change mitigation)

Kurzbeschreibung

Construction, modernisation, maintenance and operation of infrastructure that is required for zero tailpipe CO 2 operation of aircraft or the airport’s own operations, as well as for provision of fixed electrical ground power and preconditioned air to stationary aircraft. The economic activities in this category could be associated with several NACE codes, in particular F41.20 and F42.99 in accordance with the statistical classification of economic activities established by Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006. An economic activity is an enabling activity as referred to in Article 10(1) point (i), of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 where it complies with the technical screening criteria set out in this Section.

Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation 1. The activity complies with one or more of the following criteria: (a) the infrastructure is dedicated to the operation of aircraft with zero tailpipe CO 2 emissions: electricity charging and hydrogen refuelling; (b) the infrastructure is dedicated to the provision of fixed electrical ground power and preconditioned air to stationary aircrafts; (c) the infrastructure is dedicated to the zero direct emissions performance of the airport’s own operations: electric charging points, electricity grid connection upgrades, hydrogen refuelling stations. 2. The infrastructure is not dedicated to the transport or storage of fossil fuels. Do no significant harm (‘DNSH’) (2) Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex. (3) Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix B to this Annex. (4) Transition to a circular economy At least 70 % (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material defined in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC) generated on the construction site is prepared for reuse, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling oper­ ations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol ( 280 ). Operators limit waste generation in processes related to construction and demolition, in accordance with the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol and taking into account best available techniques and using selective demolition to enable removal and safe handling of hazardous substances and facilitate reuse and high-quality recycling by selective removal of materials, using available sorting systems for construction and demolition waste. _____________ ( 280 ) EU Construction and Demolition Waste Protocol (https://ec.europa.eu/growth/content/eu-construction-and-demolition-waste- protocol-0_en). (5) Pollution prevention and control Measures are taken to reduce noise, vibration, dust and pollutant emissions during construction maintenance works. (6) Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix D to this Annex. 7. CONSTRUCTION AND REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES
