February 5, 2026The Global Airport Forum 2025 brought together industry leaders to discuss critical innovations transforming airport operations worldwide. One of the central topics revolved around green energy storage solutions that are reshaping the way airports power their infrastructure and contribute to the sustainability of the travel sector. Among the experts discussing these transformative technologies was Mr. Ravi Govindan, a representative of a company specializing in lead acid battery technology. His insights provided a compelling perspective on how these energy solutions are making travel more sustainable, particularly within airport operations.Airports as High-Energy Hubs: The Growing Demand for Green SolutionsAirports are among the most energy-intensive environments, with vast energy requirements for everything from lighting and air conditioning to ground handling equipment and security systems. With the increasing global push for sustainability in the travel industry, airports are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact while ensuring reliable energy for critical operations.At the Global Airport Forum, Mr. Govindan emphasized that lead acid batteries, a key component in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), offer a powerful solution to these challenges. These batteries store energy generated during off-peak periods, enabling airports to manage their energy consumption more efficiently while supporting the integration of renewable energy sources like solar power. By doing so, airports can reduce their reliance on traditional grids, lowering their carbon footprint and contributing to greener travel practices.Supporting Solar Energy Integration: A Step Toward Green AirportsThe aviation sector is increasingly committed to reducing its carbon footprint, and airports are leading the way by adopting sustainable tech …
