Mount Isa Airport is committed to the Airports Council International (ACI) Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program and is accredited to Level 4 Transformation until 30 June 2028. This means that we are committed to reducing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in line with our target emissions trajectory and to working with our stakeholders to drive reductions in Scope 3 emissions. We measure our Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon footprint each year.  

Our existing onsite solar, situated over the car park, generates around 35% of our electricity needs annually. We also voluntarily surrender renewable energy LGCs for part of our electricity consumption.

Our parent company, Queensland Airports Limited is exploring how it can support the decarbonisation of aviation through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and electric, electric hybrid and hydrogen aircraft.
