  • A new terminal at New York's JFK will be partly powered by a microgrid, batteries, and fuel cells.
  • AlphaStruxure, the project developer, said that would produce 38% less greenhouse-gas emissions. 
  • The planned 23-gate terminal was started in September, and the first gates are set to open in 2026.

A massive transformation of New York City's largest airport is underway, and developers are touting its sustainability credentials. 

John F. Kennedy International Airport's $9.5 billion New Terminal One will be partly powered by a microgrid with 11.34 megawatts of electricity from rooftop solar, gas fuel cells, and battery storage. A system that captures waste heat from the fuel cells will chill and warm water.
