Abstract
Energy security is found in diversification of energy sources drawing power from an energy mix while moving away from carbon intensive energy sources causing climate change. This is a unique challenge for developing countries. This paper presents the journey of conceptualising a low-carbon energy mix for nine airports in South Africa.
