In a bid to revitalize its aviation industry, Japan has unveiled plans for a next-generation passenger jet. The ambitious project aims to be completed a little after 2035, utilizing next-gen tech such as hydrogen and hybrid electrics. The costs involved? It was stated that for the next 10 years, 5 trillion yen in investments are needed for the development of the new passenger plane. This runs in a parallel to their other ambitious goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. #Japan #airlines #ESG #carbonneutral #hydrogen #nextgen https://lnkd.in/g9eSVxmX

✈️Liquid Hydrogen at Airports to Enable Decarbonisation✈️ The urge to decarbonise our economy and to develop Europe’s energy independence is leading to a major trend of hydrogen for mobility and stationary applications. Hydrogen will also be a solution to decarbonise short- and medium-haul aviation and will be crucial for the advancement of low-carbon aviation operations. “The GOLIAT (Ground Operations of LIquid hydrogen AircrafT)” project will receive funding of €10.8 million from the EU’ Horizon Europe Framework Programme via CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency. The project duration is four years and it will demonstrate how high-flow liquid hydrogen (#LH2) handling and refuelling technologies can be developed and used safely and reliably for airport operations. The GOLIAT consortium consists of 10 partners from eight countries: Airbus (France, Germany, UK), Chart Industries, Inc. (Czech Republic, Italy), TU Delft | Aerospace Engineering (Netherlands), Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany), Royal Schiphol Group (Netherlands), Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Netherlands), VINCI Airports (France, Portugal), Stuttgart Airport (Germany), H2FLY (Germany), and Budapest Airport (Hungary). The group will support the aviation industry’s adoption of LH2 transportation and energy storage solutions by: 🔹Developing and demonstrating LH2 refuelling technologies scaled-up for future large commercial aircraft; 🔹Demonstrating small-scale LH2 aircraft ground operations at airports; 🔹Developing the standardisation and certification framework for future LH2 operations; 🔹Assessing the sizing and economics of the hydrogen value chains for airports. As a clean and efficient fuel, LH2 offers a promising solution for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with airport operations and their dependence on fossil fuels. LH2’s high energy density enables long-range travel for aircraft, yet there are many steps to the widespread deployment of hydrogen at airports, including the need to better understand the operational, regulatory, economic and safety impacts, as well as the capacity and performance of technologies. #SustainableAviation #Hydrogen #LH2 #LiquidaHydrogen
