Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) and Edmonton International Airport (YEG) have signed a five-year sister airport cooperation agreement. Both PIT and YEG have made significant developments in sustainability, with PIT having installed a 23-megawatt microgrid that powers the entire airport campus and in the process of developing on-site sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. YEG has retrofitted a hydrogen-powered snow sweeper for airfield winter maintenance; is a founding participant in Canada’s Net-Zero Challenge, with the goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050; established the world’s first sustainability agreement between an airline and airport; and has advanced the use of drones to support its wildlife management and runway inspection programs.
