San Diego International Airport using alternative fuels in 30% of airside vehicles and equipment

April 12, 2023 |

In California, the first shipment of renewable diesel has arrived at San Diego International Airport (SAN). The sustainable fuel is now being used in all diesel-powered airside (non-road) vehicles and equipment, such as baggage tugs, belt loaders, and firefighting vehicles. Approximately 30 percent of all airside vehicles and equipment at SAN are now “alternative fuel” because of the switch from petroleum diesel to renewable diesel.

“San Diego International Airport is thrilled to begin using renewable diesel to reduce the airport’s carbon footprint, improve local air quality, and help meet our sustainability goals. We thank our airlines for their cooperation and partnership during this process,” said Kimberly Becker, President and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
