While every airport is different, and because of the unique sources that may operate at any one individual airport, airport operators should carefully consider the boundaries of their operation and the types of traditional activities at the airport as well as activities unique to that airport. IV.1.1 Traditional Greenhouse Gas Emission Sources at Airports Traditional greenhouse gas emission sources encompass the activities found at the majority of airports and include the following: • Aircraft operations, including auxiliary power units (APUs)

Scope 3 emissions can account for up to 90% to 95% of greenhouse gas emissions in an airport's inventory. Airports may influence Scope 3 emissions but cannot directly control them.

IV.4 Relationship Between Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Other Airport Documents, Processes, and Programs While emission reduction actions should be coordinated with the airport's inventory, not every airport has or would be expected to generate a greenhouse gas emissions inventory. Many other airport processes and programs will influence when, how, and where airports consider emission reduction strategies.

These assurances can affect either how monies are collected and used or the types of programs that are in place. The important grant assurances relevant to greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies include the following: • Grant assurance 5 requires that the airport not sell, lease, or encumber any part of its title or other interests in the property.

A cap-and-trade system is an economic incentive program designed to reduce emissions by establishing a cap and enabling those who emit under the cap to sell their unused emissions allocation to those who are not able to reduce emissions in as cost effective a manner. 64 Handbook for Considering Practical Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Strategies for Airports

Participants will also establish a greenhouse gas emissions reductions tracking system and implement other policies, such as low-carbon fuel standards, to aid in reducing emissions. In addition, an extensive amount of state and local level emissions programs are in place and are too numerous to list.
