PLATINUM SPONSOR: How JFK International Airport took on the energy transition
New York City’s JFK International Airport is undergoing a US$19bn transformation into a world-class global gateway. By 2050, the terminal must reach net zero emissions while protecting uptime in an era of increasingly extreme weather. With these goals in mind, the terminal sought a solution that delivers both decarbonization and resilience. To do so, it deployed a microgrid featuring the largest rooftop solar array on any US airport, along with battery storage, fuel cells and more.
The audience will learn:
- Innovative microgrid solution: robust solution for decarbonization while ensuring resilience against extreme weather and regional grid outages
- Commitment to net zero emissions: incorporating new designs to reach sustainability goals
- Implementation insights: funding strategies behind this groundbreaking energy project and the lessons learned during its implementation
