335 MWh of annually production

This newest development represents a crucial milestone in DronePort’s broader goal of creating a completely CO2-neutral logistics platform. The newly installed solar panels have a total capacity of 375 kWp and are expected to generate 335 MWh of electricity annually. Of this, DronePort will consume approximately 190 MWh to power its operations, with the remaining 145 MWh being injected back into the grid, contributing to the local energy supply. The installation, spearheaded by LRM Climate, was a collaborative effort that involved CKS for the electrical installation and Omexom for the solar panel installation.

A next step toward a CO2-neutral logistics platform

This solar project represents just the beginning of DronePort’s larger vision of creating a fully carbon-free logistics hub. As part of this broader mission, DronePort is developing a 30-hectare living lab dedicated to Urban & Advanced Air Mobility. The ultimate goal is to enable CO2-neutral and quiet air transport of both goods and passengers within the next decade. The focus will be on alternative propulsion systems powered by electricity, hydrogen and other clean energy sources.

A living lab for carbon-free and autonomous air mobility

DronePort envisions a future where airport operations are fully automated, integrating drones and robots for seamless logistics. This living lab serves as a collaborative testing ground for universities, companies, and research organizations to develop and refine the technologies needed to drive this transformation. The platform will test cutting-edge solutions in automation, autonomous drone flights and clean propulsion systems.

By fostering innovation in sustainable air mobility, DronePort aims to set new standards for logistics platforms worldwide. The solar panel installation is a vital part of this strategy, showing that the organization is committed to reducing its carbon footprint while serving as an inspiration for other logistic hubs globally.
