Liverpool John Lennon Airport is bidding to become carbon neutral by 2040 making it 10 years ahead of the Government’s target for the UK. The project has seen the airport replace all lights with LED luminaires which are more efficient and last longer with sensors throughout the site to reduce non-essential usage. The airport is England’s fifth busiest outside London with over five million annual passengers and more than 60 flights a day before the Covid-19 pandemic. Robin Tudor, LJL Head of PR and Communications, said: “We’re a 24/7 business and use a lot of light bulbs, not just on the airfield but also in the buildings and car parks and it’s important that we illuminate them to the right level and as efficiently as possible.
