Airport in India will become the world's first fully solar-powered

Maybe he's not the first airport to install solar panels for their terminals, but the Cochin international airport of India, going to be the world's first airport, which operates entirely by solar energy.
Located in Kochi, the airport served 6.8 million passengers in 2014-15 fiscal year and predicts a 300,000-ton reduction in carbon emissions over the next 25 years, as a result of the transition to solar energy.
The Cochin international airport, which is the first in India developed under the model of public-private partnership, first advantage of solar power in 2013, when mounted photovoltaic installation of 100 kW on the roof of the arrivals terminal. Next was the installation of a 1 MW, located between the roof and land on the hangar aircraft maintenance.
Now the management is planning big. Presented this week a new 12 MW PV solar power plant stretches over 45 acres (18.2 ha) and consists of more than 46,000 photovoltaic solar panel located near the cargo terminal.
The airport claims that the energy that it will be able to annually produce will be enough for 10,000 homes. In combination with existing solar installations is expected the airport will be completely carbon-neutral.
The company says that the reduction of carbon emissions in the next 25 years is equivalent to planting three million trees or the movement of the car for 750 million miles (1.2 billion km). Al-Jazeera reports that the construction of the power station allotted six months, and $ 10 million, which anticipates the airport, back through energy savings over the next five years.
The solar power plant will generate more energy than is required for the operation of the airport, which will be connected to the national grid to sell excess energy to the state.
This initiative supports the national solar mission the Indian government, which initially set a goal for the country: to achieve a solar capacity of 22 GW by 2022. Since then, the goal was increased to 100 GW by 2022, which is planned to include 57 GWh from large ground-based projects and 40 GW installed on the roofs. published
