The journey to decarbonisation
Brisbane Airport Corporation achieved Net Zero (Scope 1 & 2 emissions) in January 2025
Brisbane Airport is the first Australian Airport with an electric bus fleet
Brisbane Airport is a signatory to the 'Clean Skies for Tomorrow' Initiativen
Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) supports the global actions being taken to mitigate climate change impacts through transition to a low-carbon future and aligning to the goals within the Paris Agreement.
BAC is demonstrating its commitment to reduce Brisbane Airport’s carbon emissions (including Scope 3), through collaborating with airport partners to identify emission reduction opportunities and reducing our footprint through achieving our sustainability targets.
The Preliminary Draft Master Plan sets out a range of initiatives which as implemented, will progressively work towards reducing Scope 3 emissions. Some of these initiatives to facilitate change across the Australian aviation industry, include:
Support of the Jet Zero Council in Australia
Support Ground Support Equipment (GSE) electrification
Facilitate adoption of hydrogen-powered flight technologies
Continue to support Airport Collaborative Decision Making in conjunction with airlines and AirServices Australia
Implement design guidelines in new developments
Brisbane Airport's Climate Change Resilience
As Brisbane Airport's operator, BAC is responsible for ensuring climate-related risks and opportunities are identified, managed, and mitigated.
BAC has a Climate Change Adaptation Plan which includes actions for Brisbane Airport to respond to physical and transitional climate risks. Continued implementation of the Climate Adaptation Plan is set to occur in the coming years and will be updated as revised science projections are released.
