Becoming an Airport with the World’s Highest StandardsEnvironmental Initiatives Undertaken

Throughout the Airport

AirlinesNAA

In 2016, we marked 38 years since Narita International Airport opened. Thanks to the understanding and cooperation of many people including local residents, Narita Airport has played signi�cant roles in Japan’s economic development and international exchanges as an international hub airport that places the highest priority on safety while responding to international aviation demand in the Tokyo Metropolitan Region. As founder and administrator of the airport, Narita International Airport Corporation (NAA) pursues to achieve stable airport operations with the world’s highest standards while providing high-quality service to passengers, reinforcing aviation networks, and taking environmental countermeasures and deepening the partnership with the local community for coexistence with the aim of becoming an airport with the world’s highest standards. We are currently making preparations at Narita Airport to welcome, with the highest levels of hospitality, athletes and others traveling for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will attract global attention. To respond to aviation demand in the Tokyo Metropolitan Region, which is expected to continue increasing even after the Olympics, we are working in collaboration with local residents and other stakeholders regarding the further expansion of airport capacity. Going forward, we will respond in a timely manner to changes in the airport environment and take measures to achieve greater harmony and mutual prosperity between the airport and local communities.

Narita Airport is supported by many airport-related business entities, including airlines, cargo companies, tenants, government agencies and so on. Together with them, we have established the long-term Eco-Airport Vision 2030 as well as the concrete plan of action, the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2016–2020). We are also carrying out initiatives across the entire airport to reduce its environmental impact. In the future, we will continue to take measures in collaboration with stakeholders such as airport-related business entities to promote environmental initiatives set out in the master plan, reduce the environmental impact on the areas around the airport, and address global-scale environmental issues.

A Statement of Our Vision for the Airport in FY 2030 Master Plan to Achieve the Vision

The Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2016–2020) sets concrete action targets for achieving the new vision, and we are taking measures to attain these targets. We set numerical targets where possible. One such target is reducing airport CO2 emissions per �ight by 7% compared to �scal 2015 by 2020. We will carry out measures to achieve the speci�c targets we have set.

To create an environment-friendly, recycling-oriented eco-airport, the Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council, which is made up of airport-related business entities, plays a central role in undertaking environmental initiatives. We will continue our dialogue with stakeholders such as passengers, local residents, and airport sta�, and work toward the reduction of environmental impact from Narita Airport throughout society as a whole.

Eco-Airport Vision 2030

In 2011, we established the Eco-Airport Vision 2020 as a statement of our vision for Narita Airport in the following 10 years. We worked to create an eco-airport based on the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015), which was intended to realize the vision. We subsequently adopted the Eco-Airport Vision 2030 to set targets for �scal 2030 based on a determination that an even longer-term

vision is needed considering factors such as the almost-achievement of the CO2 reduction target set in the earlier vision in �scal 2015, the selection of Tokyo to host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the need for further reinforcement of airport functions. To achieve this vision, we will address local and global-scale environmental issues in collaboration with stakeholders*.

Waste is sorted for recycling into six categories in passenger terminal lobbies, and 10 categories in the o�ce areas.

High energy-e�cient LED lights have been installed for taxiways and some parts of lighting in passenger terminal buildings.

Waste water from restaurants in terminal buildings is treated to be reused as �ushing water in airport toilets.

Solar power panels are installed at passenger terminal buildings and NAA Building. The generated electricity is used for lighting and as a power source for the NAA Information Room.

Geothermal energy is used for air conditioning in the connecting corridor of Passenger Terminal 2, reducing energy consumption.

We promote the introduction of low emission vehicles such as electric vehicles as well as fuel-e�cient andlow-exhaust cars.

In convenience for customers driving electric cars and for airport-related business entities, fast chargers are installed in parking lots P1 and P2.

This station supports drivers of fuel cell vehicles, which are becoming popular in recent years.

We maintain a hands-on nature conservation park, located on the noise mitigation land. The park features a rich diversity of natural life.

Mitigation embankments and wooded bu�er zones have been constructed to reduce aircraft noise.

To reduce environmental impact from the airport as much as possible, year-round and short-term noise, air quality and water quality measurements are taken. The measurement data is disclosed on the NAA website.

Quiet, zero-emission GPUs have been installed at all �xed stands of passenger terminals to provide electric power and air conditioning to parked aircraft.

We reduce construction waste for apron pavement repair work through our in-house developed method called "Bonded Overlay Method."

A hangar-type noise reduction facility is used for aircraft engine testing which drastically reduces noise levels.

To encourage low-noise aircraft, we have introduced a noise-related landing charge system. At the same time, they also contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Solar Power GenerationNarita Airport has cooperated with a fuel cell vehicle demonstration program, an initiative toward a hydrogen-based society that uses hydrogen. Hydrogen is an energy source with possibility of great contribution to save energy and reduce environmental impact. The Narita Hydrogen Station (operated by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.), located adjacent to Passenger Terminal 1, opened in March 2016 as a �rst step toward a hydrogen-based society and is available for general use. At this station, airport users and others involved with the airport, as well as a wide range of local residents, can fuel their fuel cell vehicles in Narita Airport.

In addition, electric vehicle fast chargers are currently installed in two airport parking lot locations (P1, P2). To promote the introduction of low emission vehicles and their use for travel to the airport, we will continue developing infrastructure for low emission vehicles at the airport.

We installed a solar power generation system for e�ective use of natural energy in 1999. Eight hundred and eighty-two solar power panels (with capacities of 120 kW) are �tted to Passenger Terminal 1, the roof of the NAA Head O�ce Building, and elsewhere. The electric power generated by these solar power generation systems is used for lighting and other applications at the NAA Head O�ce and passenger terminal buildings. In �scal 2015, total power generated was approximately 117,000 kWh. In addition, the approximately 2,000 kW Sanrizuka Solar Power Plant located on

airport land adjacent to Narita International Airport began operations in March 2015 for the sole purpose of selling electric power. Small solar power panels used for outdoor signs and so on are also found in restricted areas of the airport. Measures taken by other organizations include the installation of solar panels on the government agency building constructed in the cargo area. These panels are used to supply power to the building.

Narita Hydrogen Station Opens!

LED Taxiway LightingWe have been promoting the shift of taxiway lights to navigate aircraft from halogen lamps to LEDs (light emitting diodes). LED lighting lasts longer than halogen lamps and reduces the replacement frequency of lighting components. The LED itself consumes 10% of the power of a halogen bulb and is four times more energy e�cient even when including the lighting device. As of the end of March 2016, 56.5% of taxiway lights are using LEDs.

Use in Passenger TerminalsIn conjunction with renovation of the international arrival lobby in Passenger Terminal 2, which was completed in March 2016, we replaced lighting �xtures with LED lighting. As a result, approximately 1,270 LED lights were installed, slashing annual power consumption by approximately 40% compared to before the renovation. LEDs are also used for the backlights in advertising boards and information signs in passenger terminal buildings.

Effective Use of Water Resources

General Waste Sorting

General waste from passenger terminals, cargo area, o�ces and other facilities, is sorted and reusable items are recycled. Waste receptacles to sort leftover beverages from plastic and other containers have been installed in front of security checkpoints in passenger terminals. Because of the restrictions on carry-on liquids on international �ights, large quantities of plastic bottles with remaining liquids used to be discarded in receptacles placed at security checkpoints. To avoid bottles with remaining liquid being handled as combustible waste, these waste receptacles have been installed to collect them for recycling.

Composting of Kitchen Refuse

Some of the kitchen refuse from airportrestaurants and the NAA cafeteria is composted. In �scal 2015, approximately 3 tons of compost from about 14 tons of organic waste was produced. Compost is then used in greening projects in and around the airport, or given away to the public at events in the airport or local community. Many people look forward to this annual supply.

Waste receptacle for liquids

Restaurant Kitchen Wastewater Recycling

Kitchen wastewater from restaurants in passenger terminals contains many impurities such as fat and organic substances. Therefore, it is treated at the Kitchen Wastewater Treatment Facilities to remove impurities through biodegradation. Afterwards, water is taken to the Grey Water Production Facilities where it is disinfect-ed and puri�ed through membrane separation and activated carbon absorption, allowing it to be reused as grey water. Grey water is reused for �ushing toilets in passenger terminals and at NAA Building. Approximately 200 million liters of grey water was generated from restaurant kitchen wastewater in �scal 2015.

Rainwater Recycling

Oil separation plant and holding pond have been installed at Narita Airport to prevent rainwater runo� from a�ecting the quality and volume of water at downstream waterways. Rainwater is collected in a holding pond with a capacity of approximately 610,000 m³ located on the western side of Runway A and �ows out from there into drainage canals outside the airport. In order to use rainwater e�ectively, we operate a treatment facility that puri�es rainwater runo�. Rainwater is collected in the pond, converted into grey water at the facility, and used as cooling water in the Central Heating and Cooling Plant as well as �ushing water in passenger terminal toilets. In �scal 2015, the rainwater treatment facility produced about 440 million liters of grey water.

Dissemination of Information

We proactively disseminate information to encourage a broader understanding, inside and outside the airport, on environmental measures taken at Narita Airport, and results produced. One of these information channels is the NAA website, where people can read the environment report along with progress reports on a wide range of environmental initiatives.

In addition, �ight track data, aircraft noise, air quality, and water quality measurement results are available on the Narita Airport Environmental Community, an environmental information website. These websites are designed for smartphone and tablet use as well as computers, so they can be read anywhere.

Greening ProjectsAccording to the Greening Master Plan for Narita Airport and Environs, we develop green areas in consideration of vegetation, aesthetic value, and unique topographical features.

In order to create an area for relaxation in the region, cherry blossom trees and azaleas have been planted at Sanrizuka Sakura no Oka. People can watch aircraft taking o� and landing from a grassy knoll. The Minami Sanrizuka Nature Trail, which extends from Sakura no Oka, is a wood chip path through existing forestry, wonderful for strolling and forest bathing.

Chestnut orchards have been planted which allow people to enjoy nature and to pick chestnuts. In autumn, local children are invited to go on chestnut picking hunts.

Orchards

Shibayama Mizube no Sato(Waterside Park)Many water plants, including iris sanguinea, iris pseudacorus, and water lilies have been planted at the park. Walking trails and benches in place allow people to relax and appreciate the surroundings.

Trails are provided in the existing forestry where people can relax and enjoy nature and forest bathing.

An outlook for observing planes, opened on a noise embankment in the Toyomi district. The name “Toyomi Shinonome no Oka” (shinonome means “dawn”) was given by local schoolchildren. The hill is a favorite spot for aircraft enthusiasts and local families alike.

Utilizing existing forestry, natural environments are conserved as Satoyama (cultivated countryside forests). For more e�ective use of Satoyama, in 2005, in conjunction with Chiba Prefectural Government, Narita City, the Narita Airport Hotels Association and the Narita Satoyama Development Association, we created walking trails extending to 4 km from o�-site

drainage ways. The trails allow visitors to jog or walk through pristine natural environments while enjoying the seasonal colors.

Satoyama (Countryside Forest)Development

Environmental work on of f-site drainage ways connecting to the Tokkogawa River north of the airport is being carried out, creating concrete canals which closely follow natural streams. Cherry blossom trees donated by local residents and others are thriving successfully on the banks, and provide a colorful spectacle in spring.

Development of Drainage Waysand Waterside Environments

Cherry blossom trees were planted with the assistance of Narita city, restoring those lost due to airport construction. In spring, the area is crowded with people enjoying the blooming �owers.

Flutterer Dragonflies Appear in the Greenport Eco-AgriparkHave you heard of �utterer dragon�ies? You will likely conjure up an image of a dragon�y, which uses transparent wings to rapidly change directions while �ying, but the �utterer dragon�y has lustrous, deep metallic violet wings and uses its wide wings to �utter about slowly. Its beautiful appearance is truly like that of a butter�y. The �utterer dragon�y inhabits ponds and swamps with abundant vegetation. It is also known as the “airplane dragon�y,” as it looks like an airplane when gliding from a high altitude. The airplane dragon�y lives in the area around Narita Airport—this is a fun fact, don’t you think?

Communication with Airports in Japan and Abroad

We are a proactive member of ACI, which is an organization of 595 bodies (as of March 2016) managing 1,855 airports in 173 countries and regions, with sta� serving on four of ACI’s Standing Committees (Economics, Environment, Aviation Security and Airport IT). The 34th meeting of the Environment Standing Committee was held in Seattle in May 2016, and opinions were exchanged on issues such as the relationship between aircraft noise and emissions and on climate change. In addition, the Asia-Paci�c Regional Environment Committee, to which we belong was established in April 2013 and began its operations. The committee met for the sixth time in Delhi, India, in March 2016. Among the issues discussed were management of in�ight waste and environmental measures undertaken by member airports. Our company sta� member gave a presentation on noise management.

* ACI (Airports Council International) is a global organization made up of airport and airport building managers and owners, who work together to promote environmental conservation as well as safety, convenience and e�ciency in international air transport.

We believe that collaboration with other airports in Japan and abroad toward common tasks will lead to the resolution of airport environmental issues on a global scale. In addition to strengthening our partnership with major international airports in Japan, we exchange ideas and information with overseas airports through the ACI* Regional Environment Committee and through personnel exchanges with sister airports.

ACI Asia-Paci�c Regional Environment Committee

“INTER-NOISE” (International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering) is the largest international conference on noise and vibration control and has been held annually since 1972. The congress addresses not just aircraft noise, but a wide range of topics including noise from other forms of transport and general environmental noise. Experts from universities and research organizations around the world gather to present papers and engage in discussion. This year, it was held in Hamburg, Germany in August by the International Institute of Noise Control Engineering in cooperation with the German Acoustical Society. The theme was “towards a quieter future.” Our employees attended the congress and gave a presentation

about a questionnaire survey on health e�ects of aircraft noise.

INTER-NOISE 2016

The “Environmental Liaison Conference with Major Airports in Japan” was formed in 2007, which includes NAA, Kansai Airports, Central Japan International Airport Co., Ltd., Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd., and Hokkaido Airport Terminal Co., Ltd. The conference is held several times a year at member airports having information exchanges and facility tours. The conference enables the di�erent airports to gather and address issues which are di�cult to tackle alone, such as global warming. The participants exchange information on their successes and advances, while establishing closer, more uni�ed ties.

Eco-Crafts

We have been participating in the Eco-Products Exhibition (name changed to “EcoPro: International Exhibition on Environment and Energy” from �scal 2016) since �scal 2004. It is the largest environmental exhibition in Japan and is held in Tokyo every December. In �scal 2015, we set up an airport booth together with Hokkaido Airport Terminal Co., Ltd., Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd., and others. A joint stamp rally was held, and panels introducing the measures at the airports regarding CO2 emissions, recycling, noise and so on were also displayed. The airport booth attracted some 5,000 visitors, including environment professionals and students. The exhibition provides a good opportunity to acquaint people with the environmental measures conducted at Narita Airport.

The �rst eco-tour of �scal 2016 was conducted on August 19 at the end of the summer vacation. Fifty-two elementary school students participated in the tour, which consisted of varied and fun environmental education programs including observation of a GPU and a hands-on runway noise measurement experiment along the runways, as well as a tour of the Museum of Aeronautical Sciences. The enthusiastic eco-kids displayed positive attitudes as they learned about environmental initiatives.

The Council solicited submissions of Eco-Haiku and Eco-Photographs as a fun way to get people involved and drawing attention to environmental initiatives in their everyday life. Many of the Eco-Haiku, which were submitted from around the country, expressed a high level eco-awareness, extolling eco-ideas that are practical in everyday life and the importance of environmental conservation. Submissions

to the Eco-Photo Gallery had themes such as the beauty of nature around the airport as well as aircraft, the airport, and ecology. A selection of submissions including the Chairman’s Prize winning photo can be viewed on the council’s website and are displayed at the NAA Art Gallery in Passenger Terminal 1.

The club members conducted a noise measurement experiment nearby aircraft taking o� and landing on Runway A. Also, they had a “yelling competition” to see which team could yell the loudest, making noise much louder than the aircraft.

GPUs are used to reduce noise and CO2 emissions generated by parked aircraft. We introduced our e�orts of GPU usage. The club members enjoyed touching the GPU equipment attached to aircraft and feeling the cooled air of 2–3°C blowing out of the underground duct.

Eco-crafts is one of the most popular programs. For this session, participants made solar lanterns from empty plastic bottles of the tea they had for lunch. They enthusiastically decorated their own bottles with colored markers, origami paper, and other materials to create one-of-a-kind lanterns.

The Museum of Aeronautical Sciences presents information on the history of aviation and aircraft structures. The museum tour is one of the most popular programs. With educational sheets in their hands, eco-kids toured around the museum from top to bottom to deepen their understanding on aviation and the environment.
