The five-year project will remove gas infrastructure across 50 buildings, including both terminals, as the airport moves toward energy self-sufficiency
London Gatwick has partnered with renewable energy provider Vital Energi as part of its ambitious 拢250m decarbonisation programme, which will see the airport switch to zero carbon heating and improve energy efficiency.
The project will work to help London Gatwick achieve net zero emissions by 2030. The airport will eliminate its reliance on natural gas and generate its own energy, boosting energy resilience.
Vital Energi will support London Gatwick under a five-year contract that will see heat decarbonised in around 50 airport buildings, including the North and South terminals, engineering facilities and office space.
Vital Energi, known for delivering innovative decarbonisation solutions at scale, will spearhead the transformation. The company will support improving energy efficiency in buildings, deliver zero carbon heat solutions such as heat pumps and heat infrastructure across the airport.
Mike Cooke, managing director at Vital Energi, said: 鈥淥ur comprehensive expertise in renewable technologies will support the airport to achieve its ambitious target of net zero by 2030 by removing gas from across the whole site and installing heat pumps and other decarbonisation measures.
Cooke added: 鈥淚n every Vital Energi project, we build in operational resilience, ensuring there is always a backup to maintain functional continuity.鈥�
