John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) joined an elite group of leading U.S. airports in sourcing 100% of its shuttle bus energy supply from a renewable source like propane autogas.
John Glenn International shuttle buses cover about 1.2 million miles a year—the equivalent of driving around the world 48 times. After researching several alternative fuel and energy options for its former diesel-powered shuttle buses, the airport converted all buses to propane autogas because it is known as a cleaner fuel and a sustainable resource. The project has achieved:
- 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
- 40% reduction in smog-producing hydrocarbon emissions
- Significant fuel and maintenance cost savings
- Less noise pollution
“The nearly 24,000 passengers who travel daily through John Glenn International can feel good about the green energy powering their airport experience.”
