Egis will be at the expo to talk to visitors about the TULIPS project, a four-year collaboration between 31 aviation partners through 17 real-world demonstrations that is transforming airport sustainability. With its pioneering Soil.is solution, Egis is one of the key partners. Focused on nature-based solutions (NBS) for carbon sequestration, Soil.is has been deployed at Larnaca (Cyprus) and Schiphol (Netherlands) airports, leveraging improved grassland and cropland management. At Schiphol, implementing cover crops and differentiated mowing across 2,046ha could reduce or remove 1,491tCO₂eq annually, at a cost of US$0-59 per metric ton, while also enhancing soil health and biodiversity. In Larnaca, agroforestry and sustainable soil practices on 138ha could deliver 475tCO₂eq reductions per year, improving water resilience – a critical adaptation for Cyprus.

The group is also advancing biochar experimentation in partnership with the University of Turin, testing its potential for long-term carbon storage and soil enrichment at Schiphol, Larnaca and Turin airports. Beyond NBS, Egis is involved in other TULIPS workstreams, including energy efficiency, waste management, intermodal traffic management and the standardization of project demonstrators, reinforcing its commitment to helping airports meet their climate goals through practical, scalable innovation.
