DEN is on a mission to become one of the greenest airports in the world. These are just some of the steps we are taking to get there.
Learn about DEN’s sustainability objectives as the airport looks to meet the ever-evolving demands of future travel, transportation and land stewardship.
Air Quality and Climate
DEN’s primary focus is compliance with Clean Air Act regulations, preparation for more stringent air permitting requirements, and the continued reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and criteria air pollutants.
Land Protection
DEN has worked with our community partners, our neighbors, and our stakeholders to protect the land around the airport. The continued safety and usability of the land around DEN is a high priority as we grow.
Energy
The airport has been a model for energy efficiency and daylighting since it opened in 1995. We continue to build energy efficient facilities, develop high-value renewable energy projects, and continually upgrade our existing facilities.
Sustainable Development
DEN is committed to using LEED certifications as an accountability framework to construct the most sustainable facilities possible and provide long-term value to our employees, passengers, and business partners. We also promote sustainability within civil construction projects through Envision®, a holistic sustainability framework and rating system that enables a thorough examination of the sustainability and resiliency.
Water Quality & Use
DEN has an industry-leading stormwater management system that collects 70% of the deicing fluid applied to aircraft each winter season, and an on-site, closed-loop recycling plant that reclaims spent glycol for reblending back into deicing fluid. DEN is also focused on water efficiency, through high-efficiency construction and replacing existing restroom fixtures with low-flow options.
Waste Reduction
DEN’s core waste diversion programs include single-stream recycling, compost collection from concessionaires, luggage donation, and wooden pallet and plastic film recycling.
Denver International Airport has developed an Environmental Management System (EMS) to proactively identify and mitigate all potential impacts to the environment from airport operations.
