Airport Carbon and Emissions Reporting Tool (ACERT)
Abstract
The Airports Council International’s (ACI’s) Airport Carbon and Emissions Reporting Tool (ACERT) is a self-contained Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that enables an airport operator to calculate its own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory. The tool is available at no cost to airports and can be used without emissions or environmental expertise by inputting readily available operational data. Methodologies are consistent with the ACI’s Guidance Manual: Airport Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management (2009) and the GHG Protocol.
