Rooftop photovoltaic panels are able to generate 20,000 MWh of renewable electricity annually. Producing that amount of electricity with fossil fuels would emit 8,500 tons of CO₂.
The system was designed to be integrated into the airport’s existing architecture and operations, using rooftop space only.
The panels also shade skylights and glazed façades, reducing the need for cooling and improving energy efficiency during hot weather.
The project was undertaken by Spain’s Ferrovial, who said the project shows that engineering solutions can achieve growth and environmental performance at the same time.
