In The News Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 DALLAS – Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) energy requirements have been sourced through green, clean channels, making it 100% sustainable. 5% of the total energy needs are powered by its very own solar generation farm, while the remaining 95% is from other green sources like hydro and wind. With the news, the airport has repeatedly held the title on many occasions as the world’s busiest single-runway airport, and now it’s got another badge to wear. In April 2022, the airport’s natural energy procurement was at 57% green consumption and for the months of May and July, it shot up to 98%. In August it hit 100% utilization of renewable energy.
