About the Environment
developing practical solutions for the future
As part of the BSR HyAirport project, Lübeck Airport is actively involved in testing the practical suitability of innovative hydrogen solutions for aviation. Together with other airports, service providers and research institutions from the Baltic Sea region, concepts are being developed on how airports can prepare for hydrogen-powered aircraft or how other applications of hydrogen make sense. The focus is on the production, safe storage, efficient provision and environmentally friendly use of green hydrogen.
With a total budget of 4.8 million euros, 3.8 million of which comes from EU funding, the BSR HyAirport project, which will run from the end of 2023 to the end of 2026, is considered one of the most important for the Baltic Sea region/aviation.
More about the project
Did You Know?
He comes at night. He sneaks through a hole in the fence.
And he is very welcome! The hole in the fence is made especially for him. It has given way to an installed concrete pipe. So the wild boars have to stay outside.
We are talking about the fox.
The fox prefers to stay at the airport in Lübeck at night and is a welcome visitor. For several years, a pair of foxes has regularly stayed on the 120 ha (1,200,000 sqm) site in the Lübeck district of Blankensee.
Almost every year there are offspring with the fox family. The young animals, however, soon look for their own territories to secure their food.
The "airport foxes" perform an extremely important activity: Hunting small mammals, e.g. mice. If there are fewer mice in the airport area, there are fewer birds of prey here, which spy out their food while standing in the air to swoop down on the prey.
The birds of prey, in turn, pose a threat to flight operations. Bird strike is one of the most common causes of accidents.
Thus, natural accident prevention takes place here. Species conservation and regulation in the region are not affected.
The Heath is in Bloom!
Every year, between August and September, the heather blooms in the north.
Here at the airport, too, various areas are bathed in the beautiful violet, which is hard to get enough of.
The rather nutrient-poor and sandy soil of the region nevertheless gives this plant enough nourishment to delight us every year.
