Decarbonizing Aviation Ground Operations: Alternative Bus Technologies

37 Pages

This analysis compares retrofit-electric, battery-electric, and hydrogen-powered airport buses using a total cost of ownership model. Retrofitted electric buses offer low-cost quick wins, battery-electric fleets provide long-term operating savings, and hydrogen buses suit high-duty airports but remain costly. The report underscores the role of energy infrastructure, charging/refueling standards, subsidy impacts, and stakeholder coordination. It positions airports as catalysts for the aviation sector’s net-zero transition.
