Istanbul International Airport will be powered by solar power
Istanbul International Airport has ambitious plans to produce electricity from solar energy (SPP) and will become the first airport in the world to cover its electricity needs from SPP, Ismail Hakki Polat, Director of Planning at Istanbul International Airport, stated at the CANSO World Air Navigation Summit in Baku.
"This year we will invest 200 million euros in the construction of a 200-megawatt SPP at Istanbul Airport. Thus, instead of an airport that consumes energy, we will be an airport that produces it," he said.
He also stressed that sustainable development is the main factor in the development of Istanbul airport, the largest hub in Türkiye and Europe.

The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP AG) consortium has developed a roadmap for preparing to transport hydrogen, according to TAP AG. “TAP’s goal is to develop infrastructure for hydrogen transportation. We have defined a roadmap for preparing for the medium- and long-term transportation of natural gas and hydrogen blends, as well as renewable gases. A preliminary study in 2021 confirmed the potential of TAP for transporting hydrogen mixtures in the future. Currently, we are conducting pipeline material tests at an international laboratory. The results of the first tests were received in the fourth quarter of 2024 and are now under evaluation. The next round of tests has already begun, and results are expected in 2025,” said the consortium.
