Which airport became the first in the Asia-Pacific region to attain carbon neutral status?

a. Indira Gandhi International Airport

b. Veer Savarkar International Airport

c. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport

d. Kempegowda International Airport

ANSWER: Indira Gandhi International Airport

Explanation:

The Delhi International Airport Limited on 27th Sept announced Indira Gandhi International Airport has become the first in the Asia-Pacific region to attain carbon neutral status

DIAL is a GMR-led consortium which manages IGI airport

Announcement on the carbon neutral status was made by the Airports Council International during the Airport Carbon Accreditation certificate presentation ceremony in Canada’s Montreal city

ACA has upgraded Delhi Airport to Level 3+ Neutrality which is the highest achievement for airports across the world

Carbon neutrality is the net zero carbon footprint

It appears when net carbon emissions over an entire year are zero

Airport absorbs and offsets the same amount of emission generated

This is used in context of CO2 releasing processes associated with transport, industry processes like carbon neutral fuel and energy production
