Abstract
This research presents a comparative analysis of CO2 emissions from diesel and electric buses, focusing on the case study of Aruba Airport Authority N.V. The study aims to assess the environmental impact of the airport's transportation fleet and identify opportunities for reducing carbon emissions. One of the key aspects explored is the unique equipment usage at the airport, measured in hours of operation rather than traditional kilometers traveled. Additionally, data availability emerged as a significant obstacle during the research, hindering the establishment of a comprehensive emissions profile. However, for the electricity supply from the local grid (WEB) with an emission factor of 0.7 kg CO2 /kWh the potential benefits of transitioning to electric buses were evaluated. The research concludes by proposing a partnership in the form of a complex adaptive system to foster collaboration and address the needs of all stakeholders involved in implementing sustainable transport solutions at the airport.
