Air Quality and Climate Programs

• Ground Support Equipment (GSE)• Pre-conditioned Air (PCA) and 400 Hz Power• Hydrant Fueling• Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Station• CNG AirBART buses• 50% Alternative Fuel requirement for GT

Air Quality and Climate - GSE

• In 2007, airlines at OAK beganconverting GSE to electric power

• Today 70% of GSE is electric• Reduces Greenhouse Gases

Air Quality and Climate - GSE

Southwest Airlines’ GSE and electric rechargers

Air Quality and Climate - GSE

United Airlines’ GSE and electric rechargers

Air Quality and Climate –PCA / 400 Hz Power• PCA available at 70% of gates• 400 Hz Power available at 100% of gates• Reduces:

• emissions• ramp noise• fuel

consumption• maintenance

costs

Air Quality and Climate - Fuel

• OAK installed hydrant fueling at South Field in 1983

BEFORE AFTER

Air Quality and Climate –Alternative Fuel• OAK’s Alternative Fuel Program for Ground

Transportation requires 50% of taxicabs, shuttles,vans and buses to use alternative fuels

Air Quality and Climate –Alternative Fuel• Compressed

natural gas (CNG)filling stationopened on OAK’sNorth Field in 2002

• Station dispensed355,245 GGE in2012

• CNG vehicles emitless greenhousegases

Air Quality and Climate –Alternative Fuel• Grant funds from BAAQMD helped the Port

buy 5 new CNG AirBART buses

Air Quality and Climate –Alternative Fuel

• OAK has equipped 19customer parking stallswith new generationelectric vehicle (EV)chargers.

• EV chargers are also nowavailable to employees.
