Özet:

The search for alternative energy sources increases in order to meet the rapidly increasing global energy demand and greenhouse gases emitted by the existing fossil fuels cause global warming and climate changes. The use of renewable energy sources is very important in airport settlements, where energy consumption is very high and its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is noteworthy all over the world. In this study, the possibilities of using renewable energy sources in order to reduce energy costs and emissions at airports were investigated. In addition, the complexity of renewable energy system projects at airports, their impact on aviation operations, whether they are financially, environmentally, socially, technically and operationally feasible, their opportunities, risks, challenges and benefits were evaluated. It was concluded that airports have significant opportunities/benefits in the use of renewable energy sources and the studies including technical and financial issues should be increased to benefit effectively from renewable energy sources at airports in Turkey.
