H2 Times News’ Post

Go Universal Hydrogen! marvellous news to hear about progress in hydrogen-powered #aviation. #Hydrogen could replace #fossilfuels with the right level of investment in production technologies and infrastructure. #H2 can be produced using renewables to power electrolysers that split water, and can also be obtained from #plastic and other #waste that would otherwise be discarded and could end up polluting. Who wouldn't want the future of transportation to be #zeroemission? Who wouldn't want to #beatplasticpollution and simultaneously produce pure hydrogen for buses, trucks, cars and planes?

Today, we celebrate the "Flying on #electricity and #hydrogen in Europe" publication of the European Commission’s Alliance for Zero-Emission Aircraft (AZEA) vision document. ✈️🌍 Take-aways: ✈️ ZE aviation can Abate up to 43 megatonnes (Mt) of CO2 annually on Intra-European routes by 2050 (36-68% of flights) ✈️ 1,2 to 2,9 Mt/y of hydrogen (or 3.4 Mtoe - 8.3 Mtoe/y - slightly above the forecast considered in the Impact Assessment accompanying COM(2024)63 on Europe’s 2040 climate target and path to climate neutrality by 2050) ✈️It identifies barriers and challenges to be addressed through coherent actions by the members of the ecosystem, related to aircraft production and certification, aerodromes, airspace, regulation and standardisation, etc. ✈️European aviation currently estimated to support nearly 5 million jobs and contribute €300 billion to European GDP! ✈️Additional materials coming to identify in greater detail the ecosystem and policy requirements needed, including guidance at individual Member State level. ✈️New, Lighter-Than-Air vehicles with electric propulsion could open new markets such as unmanned surveillance, cargo, or luxury tourism. Work needs to start now, but it also highlights that "aviation’s needs for electricity and hydrogen must be factored into national and European energy plans" and this is what we're not yet seeing on a MS level, maybe time to update the old drafts to allow for new business models to enter national plans as well? We are proud to have been contributing to this work and continue to develop towards greener airspace! Full report https://lnkd.in/dhSk4Phz #hydrogen #AZEA #sustainability #zeroemissions #aviation

BEVs and #hydrogen cars are solutions that should work together to reduce #emissions. The #Olympic games have long brought together the world’s most promising athletes, to compete in a spirit of peace and international cooperation. So perhaps it is fitting that #Paris2024 is the venue for hydrogen cars and BEVs to square off against each other, in the same spirt. Hopefully, the competing believers in hydrogen and electric-mobility will also preserve some of that Olympian spirit of goodwill once the games come to a close.

Here are five challenges facing hydrogen-powered aviation.

Go Universal Hydrogen! marvellous news to hear about progress in hydrogen-powered #aviation. #Hydrogen could replace #fossilfuels with the right level of investment in production technologies and infrastructure. #H2 can be produced using renewables to power electrolysers that split water, and can also be obtained from #plastic and other #waste that would otherwise be discarded and could end up polluting. Who wouldn't want the future of transportation to be #zeroemission? Who wouldn't want to #beatplasticpollution and simultaneously produce pure hydrogen for buses, trucks, cars and planes?

Thanks Paul Eremenko for your focus and dedication! Universal Hydrogen is on a #mission to support the #sustainable #aviation The #firstflight is always an exciting moment as it is the conclusion of so much efforts ! Proud as it combines my 2 passions : #aviation and #sustainability

Electric vs Hydrogen - who will win the green vehicle revolution? 👀 In the latest episode of The Challenge With Green Energy, your host Elizabeth Simon is joined by Tony Lelliott, Director at Tees Valley Motorsport, to talk all things hydrogen, motorsport and green energy. As Tony outlines below - a lot of the discourse around green energy typically pitches innovations against each other, when it is likely there will be a place for all of them in the future 🌍 If you’d like to hear more from Tony, including: 🏎️ Battling misconceptions about hydrogen 🏎️ The hydrogen race car Tees Valley Motorsport is working on that you might see at next year’s Le Mans 24 🏎️ Challenges around investment that SMEs face 🏎️ His thoughts on the greenwashing of nuclear energy 🏎️ The importance of embracing the hydrogen rainbow Then tune in today! 👉 https://lnkd.in/gpZjjVzp P.S. - the episode ends with a revving promise - be sure to listen to find out what that involves… #TheChallengewithGreenEnergy #Hydrogen #HydrogenSafe #CleanEnergy #Cleanracing #HydrogenRaceCar #LeMans24

“Flight path to 2050: Universal Hydrogen” By Edward Laity on Apr 08, 2024 “In 2023 H2 View reported that the #hydrogenpoweredflight industry was taking off. Now, work is being done both on the ground and in the skies to ensure #hydrogen progress in #aviation stays #airborne .” “The #aviationindustry accounted for around 2% of global #carbondioxide (#CO2) emissions in 2023, showcasing the need to #decarbonise the sector, likely to grow as other sectors begin to draw closer to #NetZerooperations .” “To lower emissions developers are turning to alternative propulsion methods. It has been estimated #zeroemissionpropulsion will require between 600 and 1,700TWh of clean energy by 2050 across the globe, with about 89-96% of the energy being used for #hydrogenpowered flight.” https://lnkd.in/exmmzKWV Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

“Flying on electricity & hydrogen” – the Alliance’s vision on how to make electric and hydrogen flight a reality. We are committed to the roll-out of emission-free aviation. ✈️   We have been a member of the Alliance for Zero-Emission Aviation (AZEA) since 2022. AZEA is a voluntary initiative with over 100 members, which is preparing the European aviation ecosystem for the transition to zero-emission aviation in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal. To this, AZEA presented the elaborated vision "Flying on electricity & hydrogen" at the ILA in Berlin. The development of electric and hydrogen aviation is progressing rapidly. The environment for these aircraft needs to be prepared and the development of the aircraft, aerodrome and energy infrastructure, regulations and other aspects may take years or even decades. This will be a huge challenge for European aviation and addressing it will require a coordinated approach between the aviation ecosystem and policy makers. With this in mind, AZEA members are committed to working together to achieve the successful integration of electric and hydrogen aircraft into European aviation and call on other stakeholders to actively participate in this challenge.

I find it intriguing how the press in many EU 🇪🇺 countries (especially in Belgium) have been bashing Electric Vehicles #EVs over the last decade giving the floor to bogus studies, slowing down 🐌 public opinion and postponing the urgent 🚨 needed transition away from #fossilfuels. Meanwhile China 🇨🇳 has caught up and built a huge competitive advantage ⚡️ … we were ahead and now they’ll invade & take over our car business ! #thefutureiselectric #electricvehicles #climatechange #climateaction
