～Aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 at Miyazaki Airport and seven other airports～
 

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has now developed plans to promote airport decarbonization for all 27 airports managed by the government in order to achieve carbon neutrality throughout Japan’s airports. 　Miyazaki Airport and seven other airports aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and other airports aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

　In June 2022, the Civil Aeronautics Act, Airport Act, etc. were amended to establish a system
under which airport administrators, in cooperation with airport-related parties, develop airport
decarbonization promotion plans that set specific goals and initiatives for decarbonization.
　Recently, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has developed plans to
promote airport decarbonization for all 27 airports managed by the government. This means that
airport decarbonization promotion plans have been developed and certified for 32 airports, including
the five airports that have already been certified.
　We will promote further decarbonization of government-managed airports by maximizing the use
of high-efficiency air-conditioning equipment, LED lighting and aviation lights, EV vehicles, and the
introduction of renewable energy sources such as solar power generation equipment.
