By 2050, airport electricity demand will be in the range of four times as high as 2019 levels, and by 2050, five times as high. By 2100? Twelve times.
). This is a useful simple diagram that identifies most of the demand loads in an airport, but the report ignores heating, a major current energy demand. The report also doesn’t quantify loads.It’s worth stepping through the components which will electrify, when that will occur and the likely scale of demand that airports will experience.
At present most airports use a combination of natural gas boilers including co-generation systems and electric induction heating in specific spots.
That’s obviously not a climate solution. What is a climate solution is large scale commercial heat pump deployments. Basically a heat pump is an air conditioner, and so they’ll replace their air conditioners with heat pumps to get both heat services with one set of devices. That will still likely require additional induction heat on the worst days, as it is, after all, Edmonton, where -40° isn’t uncommon and once again it’s a huge glass-walled box as much as anything else.
