Press Release: Greener airports thanks to EU-funded tech

The European Commission reported on 28 July 2014 on a new software and sensor system European researchers developed to reduce carbon emissions and energy costs by 20% in airports.

Pilot testing was taking place in Rome’s Fiumicino and Milan's Malpensa. The new system, called CASCADE, would save these Italian airports at least some 6000 MWh, which equates to 42,000 tons of CO2 and €840,000 a year.
