MTI-Hungary Today 2022.01.25.

Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport cut its carbon emissions further in 2021, reducing it to half of the level measured in 2011, with emissions per passenger down at one third of emissions ten years ago, the airport operator said on Tuesday.

In 2021, the airport started implementing a “zero carbon action plan”, scheduled to achieve zero net carbon emissions by 2035, the operator said. It also received a 3+ carbon accreditation last year, awarded to only 58 carbon neutral airports worldwide, the statement said.
