Work over the next five years will see the airport switch to zero carbon heating and improve energy efficiency.

Vital Energi will now work on transforming infrastructure across the airport to deliver zero carbon solutions like heat pumps and move away from gas.

Work will focus on 50 airport buildings, including the North and South terminals, engineering facilities and office space.

Mike Cooke, Managing Director, Vital Energi said: “Our comprehensive expertise in renewable technologies and in-house team of over 100 design engineers will support the airport to achieve its ambitious target of net zero by 2030 by removing gas from across the whole site and installing heat pumps and other decarbonisation measures.

“In every Vital Energi project, we build in operational resilience, ensuring there is always a backup to maintain functional continuity.”
