Guidelines for the Study Visit Report

1. Objectives of the Study Visit Report:

a) It will allow the hosting partner and participating project partners to give feedback on the

study visit (projects and challenges presented, discussion between project partners etc.)

and to keep track of their initial objectives for each visit.

b) It will allow project partners who have not attended the study visit to better understand

the practices and challenges of the hosting partner. This is necessary for the

transferability of the identified good practices.

c) It will allow for the identification of good practices and the compilation of data and

information for the final “transnational best of document”. Indeed, the identification of

good practices is based on a bottom-up approach, a peer review by partners through

study visits. Questionnaires are thus the main element for the identification of good

practices

Therefore, the information provided in the Study Visit Report should be precise and detailed, keeping

in mind that partners not having attended the study visit should be able to understand the practices

and challenges as well.

2. Methodology

- The Study Visit Report is to be drafted by the host partner(s) after each visit

- It should be sent to the Lead Partner ([email protected] and [email protected])

and to the ARC ([email protected] and [email protected]).

- It shall be accompanied by:

o A documented report on media impact:

A copy of the press releases issued on the occasion (in English and in the initial

languages)

The press occurrences (copy of articles whenever possible)

Check the website as well, as some are available

o The electronic files of all the presentations made during the meeting (Check the website

as well)

o Photos and videos (on the website as well)

o Details of all attendees (from outside the D-AIR partnership.)

3. What is the size of my study visit report?

There is no definitive rule on the size of the study visit report, but we advise you to keep it simple.

Ideally the answer to each question should be around one paragraph (5-10 lines maximum) and

provide detailed information, including quantitative data, where available, on the measures

presented.

In addition to this detailed information, website links can be included for the interesting measures, for

partners wishing to get more information.

2

4. When shall I submit my study visit report?

Our advice is that you draft the report immediately after the study visit, and submit it as soon as

possible. The first reason is that it will make your work easier: our experience is that the sooner the

reports are written the fresher your mind and recollection of the day will be.

The report template requires to have a survey made amongst the participants. We advise you to have

it filled at the end of the visit rather than having to chase the answer.

In all cases, we ask you to submit your study visit report no later than 1 month after the visit.

5. To whom shall the report be sent?

We ask you to send the report to the Lead Partner and to the ARC.

6. Publication

The study visit reports will be published under the restricted section of the website (i.e. accessible only

to the members of the partnership)

1) What is the key message that you initially intended to convey through this visit to the

other D-AIR partners?

CDG is one of the biggest airports in the world, and it interfaces a truly global scale and also some really local issues. But in this case local means also several entities: the State, the Region, (which is the size of Belgium) and the nearby municipalities. There is a complex set of governance. Our message is that we have to find solutions at difference scales (local and metropolitan scales) to reduce CO2 emission from surface access and airport operations. We believe that the grouping of several municipalities can bring about synergies and create scale economies. A holistic approach is possible thanks to:

- An appropriate territory where the various municipalities are aware of the assets and problems that the airport is bringing,

- The right transfer of competences and budget, - Smart planning.

2) Could you explain how you think the presentations made on the day supported the overall

D-AIR objective, and yours. Please fill in the table for each presentation.

Territorial analysis and the role of the Communauté d’agglomérationTerres de France The Communauté d’Agglomération (CA) is a Public Establishment created in 2010 grouping three municipalities (Tremblay-en France, Villepinte and Sevran) and which will most likely expand geographically in the future. It is responsible for urban planning. It is also in charge of public transportation and housing. Partnership with the private sector is essential in all areas of competence (mobility, training, planning…). The relations with the State are entrenched in a contract (Contrat de Développement Territorial).

the orientation of the dAIR project:

- Most CO2 emissions occur during flights, if you take into consideration the entire journey. However, they have decreased by a third in the last 20 years for 1 passenger/100 km. This confirms that airplane performances are of essence.

- However, a lot can still be achieved to reduce emissions in airport regions, as at an airport surface access is the main source of CO2.

15 ways to reduce the carbon footprint. Focus on airport accessibility The study on “15 ways to reduce the carbon footprint in airport regions” focuses on the different ways in which local and regional authorities can influence airport related CO2 emissions. The objective has been to provide a tool for improved dialogue with the aviation sector. 9 airport regions participated in this study. The study identifies the sources and the determination factors for airport related CO2 emissions and analyses the effects of different reduction measures.

B. CO2-reduction - Introduction

Surface Access

For all the people working at the airport platform, 90 % are using their own vehicles. Therefore the

aim is to reduce this part by different means, notably by the enhancement of local transport and by

improving regional transport to the different parts of Paris Metropolis. This can be achieved with the

construction of Grand Paris Express which will link the CDG Airport to the Central Business District of

Paris- La Défense

10

Other practices implemented at Charles de Gaulle Airport that aim to increase the number of

passengers using public transport:

- Plan de Déplacement d’Entreprises (Mobility Plan for staff working in the airport area)

- CDG Val (electric shuttle connecting the airport terminals)

- Filéo (bus on demand for employees)

Airport Operations

As an international hub, the challenge for Charles de Gaulle airport is coping with the increase in

passengers while at the same time finding efficient CO2 reduction measures that can yield significant

results.

Main practices implemented at CDG airport:

- Airport Carbon Accreditation (Level 3)

- Reduction of taxi time through the introduction of the new taxiway ECHO 4

- Introduction of renewable energies : electric biomass plant

- Plan Carbone Energie Territorial for Communauté d’Agglomération Terres de France

C. Airport operator activities

4) What is the main message that you want to convey to the D-AIR partners concerning C02

reduction measures from airport operator activities?

At Charles de Gaulle airport, CO2 emissions from airport operations consist of both internal emissions (production and purchase of electricity and heating /air conditioning of buildings) and emissions induced by ground operations. Thermal power plants are the main sources of emissions from airport operations.

The main CO2 reduction measures come from the airport’s commitment to the ACA Scheme and the Plan Carbone Energie Territorial. These have allowed the airport to:

- Develop renewable energy solutions

- Contribute to the limitation of emissions from aircraft taxiing

- Contribute to the limitation of emissions from aircraft parking: Aéroports de Paris has

installed electric outlets on the ground to limit the use of auxiliary engines for the production

of electricity and has equipped the satellite 4 of Paris-Charles de Gaulle with an on the

ground air conditioning supply system. Introduce electric vehicles on the airport premises

5) Please provide a short summary of each measure or idea presented during the visit

Measure Responsible

entity/operator

Description

1 Aéroports de Paris Biomass plant (see description below)

2 Aéroports de Paris Avoiding use of GPU (see description below)

3 Aéroports de Paris Electric vehicles (see description below)

4 Aéroports de Paris Solar farm

In 2013, Aéroports de Paris set up a

photovoltaic plant at CDG composed of 792

11

panels and covering a total surface area of

4,000 m². This ground solar power plant will

ultimately produce 167 530 MWh of

electricity which will be injected directly into

the Aéroports de Paris network.

Etc.

6) Amongst all the measures on airport activities presented during the visit, which are in your

opinion the 1 to 3 best measures?

1. Biomass plant for heating and cooling

- Paris-Charles de Gaulle has a heating circuit that uses biomass energy. It replaces the gas boilers previously used by the airport.

- The biomass plant allows Aéroports de Paris to produce heat through the combustion of wood waste from tree pruning, supplied in the form of wood chips. The ashes are reused as agricultural fertiliser.

- 35 000 - 40 000 tonnes of wood are needed each year for the biomass plant. The wood is transport by truck from the forest around the airport (50km to 100 km away from the airport) to the biomass plant.

- This implies recovering green waste and converting it into heat. With a 78 000 MWh capacity, the plant is capable of meeting 26% of the airport's annual heat production needs.

- The practice is part of the ACA Scheme implemented by the airport.

2. Avoiding use of GPU

- In order to reduce taxiing time Charles de Gaulle airport introduced a one kilometre long new taxiway called Echo 4. This reduces the use of GPU for aircraft taxiing.

- Since 2000, Aéroports de Paris has been progressively upgrading the taxiways network serving all the terminals at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. In 2008, Aéroports de Paris finished the construction of Echo 4, a new taxiway located to the East of Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport between La Galerie Parisienne and the future regional terminal 2G (opened in September 2008). This new taxiway helps reduce taxi time, the number of stops as well as fuel consumption.

- From 2008 to 2009, the airlines operating from Terminal 2 at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport reduced their taxi time by 90,000 minutes (ie.1, 500 hours).

- The construction of Echo 4 helped reduce fuel consumption. Based on an average taxi consumption of 12 to 14 kg/minute for medium haul flights and 25 to 60 kg/minute for long haul flights, nearly 1.1 million litres of fuel can be saved each year.

3. Electric vehicles

- Aéroports de Paris (ADP) plans to buy 200 electric vehicles in the 2012-2015 period in order to reduce CO2 emissions (20% of the fleet will be replaced).

D. Surface access

16) What is the main message that you want to convey to the other dAIR partners concerning

CO2 reduction measures from surface access?

Regional and national coordination with authorities and operators is absolutely necessary to reduce CO2 emissions from surface access. The cooperation with the airport manager, Aéroports de Paris, as well as with other companies working in the airport area is essential for the implementation of the Territorial development contract. CA Terres de France had to draft a territorial development contract which led to the restructuring of the area. The first objective is to bring consistency. There is a need to turn the patchwork into a more consistent ensemble and stitch up everything. In order for that to happen, we need to join the different elements: shopping centre, exhibition centre, conference centre etc. For example, there is a need to generate synergies and create dynamic movements between these points. For instance, 2 million people use the hotel shuttle buses to get to the airport from the various hotels. CA Terres de France plans to establish a transport link (the Comet project) to facilitate short distance transport. There will be 15 stops along this route using the cabotage system.

The Comet platform will be connected to the highway networks and major transport infrastructure networks. Soon, it will be connected to the greater Paris express network which was initially designed to link up the various regions of Paris. The second objective is to make sure that this powerful economic engine will become the driving force for the development of certain parts of the territory which have not yet been developed. The objective is to see how this dense network of transport infrastructure can foster better cooperation in the territory. There are a number of programmes that aim to meet the needs of passengers passing through Charles de Gaulle.

17) Please provide a short summary of each measure or idea presented during the visit.

Measure Responsible entity /

operator

Description

1Fileo Keolis On demand 24h/24 transport from/to the airport mainly for employees. 75% of CDG employees have staggered working hours. As they work in many shifts in the companies around the airport there was a need for an on-demand bus transport system. The Filéo system fulfils the needs of workers who do not have cars and work in late night shifts. It is a 24/7 public transport service to/from the airport financed and paid for by the STIF (Syndicat des transports d'Île-de-France1) and other counties in Île-de-France. Workers can take Filéo from 19 cities around the airport, but a booking has to be made at least one and a half hour before taking the bus (16% of the bookings are made online). The company has a database with the names and addresses of its clients. In order to book, clients have to identify themselves into the system. A side advantage of the booking system is that every client that uses the bus is known, and hence there is very little, if none, fraud or vandalism. The system is flexible and allows for modification:

- If 30 people ask for Filéo on a specific route for a year then a normal bus is introduced on that route

- If less than 30 people use the normal bus then Filéo can be introduced on that route at night.

1 Transport Authority that controls the Paris public transport network and coordinates the different transport companies operating in Île-de-France.

16

The ticket costs 2 Euros inside the bus (the same price as the normal bus system), and monthly passes vary depending on the various tariff zones. It should be noted that the buses are not green buses, but the system as a whole is green as it allows to save 30 000 tonnes of CO2 (replacement of individual cars). Green buses could be considered, but then the whole system would be much more expensive as green technology buses are 5-10 times more expensive than normal buses and require specific maintenance.

2 CDG VAL Keolis/ADP CDG VAL is a light train connecting the various terminals of the CDG airport. It was developed in close cooperation with Keolis. Actually, AeroSat, the company operating CDG Val, is owned by Siemens and Keolis. This light train is run under a concession regime. Aéroports de Paris will launch a new call for tenders for this service in 2015. The first attempt to operate an automatic people mover in the early 1990s, the SK 6000 project, was not successful. Years later, part of the civil engineering infrastructure left over from the SK project was used to create the CDG VAL. The airport decided to use this light train because the bus lines were overcrowded and getting from terminal 1 to terminal 2 took around 25 minutes. This was a poor performance compared to other MCT (Minimum Connecting Time).

4 PDIE (Plan de

déplacements

inter-entreprises)

ADP, Air France, FedEx,

La Poste, CIF, GSF and

the Chamber of

Commerce and Industry

of Val d’Oise

ADP, Air France, FedEx, La Poste, CIF, GSF and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Val d’Oise established a joint mobility plan for their employees (PDIE-Plan de déplacements inter-entreprises). The aim of this plan is to incite employees to use public transport, car sharing or clean vehicles to travel to and from the work place. Workshops and events are organised on different topics related to public transport such as the quality of the taxi services around the airport. Exchanges of good practices, information on the available transport offer and the creation of a specific position of transport advisor in each company are some of the measures put in place as a result of the mobility plan.

2 million people use the hotel shuttle buses to get to the airport from the various hotels. CA Terres de France plans to establish a transport link (the Comet project) to facilitate short distance transport. There will be 15 stops along this route using the cabotage system. The Comet platform will be well connected to the highway networks and major transport infrastructure networks.

Instant Mobility

Prototype

Not operational Future travel planning systems will be able to provide a customised itinerary and planning for each demand even during rush hours, monitor each provided solution in real time and adjust it to travel. The Instant Mobility prototype is a comprehensive early implementation of these concepts. The user makes an immediate travel demand and the system calculates the intermodal itinerary. We can calculate all the trips in real time, but since the system is not in place we use simulation data. Features of the Instant Mobility Prototype:

1. Initial individual planning : in a reference city (Bordeaux –France), each urban traveller is individually requesting a travel planning solution to go from their current location to their destination

2. Based on Real Time status knowledge of transport means: The planning system provides a specifically crafted solution based on its current real-time knowledge of the position, relative speed and capacity of all known transportation means

3. Continuous tracking of Traveller & transport means: Once the solution is accepted by the traveller, the trip starts and the traveller’s position is periodically reported to the planning system, along with the planned means of transport

4. Automatic planning adjustment in real time: Based on events received from the means of transport, traveller, or planning system’s external criteria

Gare Routière (Bus Station ): - The bus station Roissypole is located between terminals 1, 2 and 3. It is the largest bus

station in Ile-de-France as regards the number of departures. Keolis manages the station. It won the call for tenders in 2009 for a 5-year contract with the possibility of extension for another 2 years. There are 15 bus operators (50 bus lines) including RATP, SNCF and ADP which operate on routes from the airport to 90 cities in 6 departments. It has a capacity of 22 buses and a maximum of 12 buses can depart at the same time

- The bus station is saturated: it has insufficient platforms. The buses using the station pay € 420K annually: 60% of these charges come from the number of departures and 40% from the platforms. As a result of this charging policy, ADP does not have to pay anything at all. There are plans to modernise the station by adding 31 new parking areas and 8 new platforms.



Yes, Keolis is a major partner of CDG airport

22) Are there any relevant innovation projects in your region (including those not shown

during the study visit)? If yes, please explain the project(s).

Grand Paris Express for 2025-2030: is a project of new rapid transit lines to be created in the Ile de

France region. The work could begin in 2014, with the first line opening between Pont de

Sévres métro station and Gare de Noisy –Champs RER A station around 2020. This line was first

proposed in the project Orbival then integrated into the ARC Express project. The project comprises

of four new lines, plus the extension of two existing lines (11 and 14).

CDG Express direct link from Paris Gare de l’Est to CDG Airport: The CDG Express link will mean

journey times of around 20 minutes, trains running every quarter of an hour and a reliable service

that meets the demands of airline passengers whilst at the same time returning the role of local

public transport provider to the RER B network.

25 What project did you find more interesting of the projects submitted in the regional

transport stakeholders’ forum meeting or expert coordination meeting?

- Plan de Déplacements Inter-Entreprises (Mobility Plan) is the very first initiative that is put in

place collectively and addresses employee transport to and from the airport and not only

passengers.

- Co-driving (car sharing): as a complementary aspect of the PDIE as it aims to add more

individualised solutions.

- COMET local shuttle connecting the different hotels of the Airport City (see full description above)

26 What action should be implemented to improve surface access to/from the airport visited?

The CDG Express link to CDG airport should be implemented. The logistics chain around CDG could

also be enhanced, but this might be premature.

27 Are there any similar projects implemented at other airports in Europe? If yes, please

explain the implementation process

Several dAIR Project Partners either have or are planning to introduce direct railway connection to

the airport such as Prague and Mazovia.

28 Which measures presented should be considered as good practices?

1. Filéo

2. CDG VAL

3. PDIE

2. For visiting partners

A. Airport operator activities

29 Which C02 reduction project/measure from airport operator activities was the most

interesting? Please explain.

Swedavia: CDM-airport (reducing taxiing time), bioenergy to produce electricity, intelligent logistics.

Mazovia: Even if it cannot be strictly classified as a measure, we found the educational project of

Maison de l’Environnement (Environment House) as the most interesting project. We take the

environmental education of society very seriously and we consider it as an important way to reach

carbon neutrality. The above-mentioned project was very interesting and inspirational for us. We will

try to take advantage of this experience in our development plans.

Vienna: To follow the ACA programme is for such a huge airport a quite complicated project, but

with the hope for huge benefits.

31 What action should be implemented to improve airport operator activities at the airport

visited?

25

Swedavia: CDG already works to reduce CO2 emissions in different areas by replace fuel powed cars with electric cars, reducing taxiing time, producing electricity from renewable sources etc. Continuing this work in addition with some ideas from dAIR project would be one way to improve airport operation activities at CDG. The airport could also work to obtain the ACA Level 3+. Bologna: Influence the energy efficiency of complementary activities (trade, hotel, office, catering plane) inside the airport. El Prat: Emission Reduction Plan Vienna: No opinion. Not enough detailed information is available

33 Which CO2 reduction measure from airport operator activities is not suitable for your

airport? Please explain why.

Vienna: Every measure should be considered

34 Are there any similar projects implemented at your airport or at other airports in Europe?

If yes, please explain the implementation process.

Bologna: Electric vehicles.

Prague: No, as far as we know.

El Prat: Electric vehicles.

Mazovia: We use electric cars (Melex) and the fleet is consistently being developed. These vehicles

are used by two of our divisions and some subcontractors (the handling service) so far.

Vienna: Yes, the ACA Scheme is nowadays nearly standard for a “good” airport. The Question is, if or

how fast the airport wants to reach Level 3.

B. Surface Access

35 Which surface access project/measure was the most interesting? Please explain.

Swedavia:

- FILEO on demand transport 24h/24 is well adapted to the airport area;

- The COMET project (shuttle service), electric vehicles, subways between terminals,

Bologna: Fileo is an interesting and useful project for structures with a significant number of

employees. Even more interesting if it uses reduced CO2 emission vehicles.

Prague: Intermodal transport from and to the airport. FILEO is well adapted to the airport area.

El Prat: Bus on demand. This project is being implemented in El Prat.

City of Leipzig: FILEO, the demand transport is well adapted to the airport area.

Mazovia: We consider the BUS on demand 24/24 (Fileo) project as the most interesting surface

access project presented during the Paris Study Visit. The main reason for our interest is the fact that

we are currently working on similar solution (on a smaller scale).

Eindhoven: FILEO on demand transport.

Unknown Partner: CDG-VAL (people mover system) because it was the only visible activity in terms

of CO2 reduction.

Vienna: Use of hybrid bus to and from the airport.

37 What action should be implemented to improve surface access to/from the airport visited?

Swedavia: New rail links.

Bologna: New local rail links.

Prague: We would suggest the use of alternative energy resources as for example in Stockholm.

El Prat: New train links / new buses.

City of Leipzig: Shuttle project between the different parts of the airport city.

Mazovia: The COMET project seems to be very interesting.

Eindhoven: Improvement of railway links directly to the airport.

Vienna: No opinion. Not enough detailed information is available

Mazovia: “Subway between terminals” is the project/measure not suitable for us due to the size of

Warsaw/Modlin Airport. Despite this, it was very interesting to find out about this innovative project.

It could be very inspirational for us in the future.

Eindhoven: CDG VAL is not suitable because of the size of the airport. It could be a solution for a

connection to a new railway station closer to the airport.

Unknown Partner:

People mover system because we do not have long distances between the terminals.

Fileo due to the lack of catchment area.

Vienna: All measures should be considered.

40 Are there any similar projects implemented at your airport or at other airports in Europe?

If yes, please explain the implementation process.

Prague: At Prague airport there is only a bus line Airport Express which operates from the main

railway station in Prague and stops at the Dejvicka railway station on its way to the airport. So there

is no project as the ones mentioned above at Prague airport.

Mazovia: We are currently working on a project of joined transport for airport employees and the

idea of bus on-demand is also under our considerations. The project is in the initial phase

(discussions).

Vienna: A lot of important measures have been presented in Paris. These are also considered in

other airports.
