The transition to zero-emission airport ground support equipment (airport GSE) will help California maximize emission reductions from airport ground operations. In the 2020 Mobile Source Strategy, CARB outlined a pathway to transition airport GSE to zero by 2034 and committed in the 2022 State Strategy for the State Implementation Plan to bring to the Board programs and policies for on-ground operations at airports, including GSE, by 2027. The full transition to zero-emission airport GSE would provide necessary emissions reductions to attain federal air quality standards, lower health risk to airport workers and nearby communities, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from airport operations.
Airport GSE are used in airport operations and perform a wide variety of functions including providing power to aircraft; transporting cargo, baggage, and passengers to and from aircraft; and providing aircraft maintenance and fueling.
