Sustainability news 🧡 Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced significant investments in the UK's aerospace sector, with a focus on accelerating the transition to net zero aviation. One standout recipient of this funding is Marshall Aerospace , a Cambridge-based aerospace company, which is set to receive £40 million to develop a cutting-edge fuel system for zero-emission aircraft. This investment underscores the UK's commitment to fostering innovation and driving progress towards a more sustainable aviation industry. The funds will be directed towards the development and testing of a smart, connected liquid hydrogen fuel system, paving the way for the next generation of zero-emission aircraft. This initiative not only positions Marshall Aerospace as a leader in sustainable aviation technology but also contributes to the broader goal of reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the environmental impact of air travel. In addition to Marshall Group's project, significant investments totalling nearly £200 million will support aerospace research and development efforts across the country. This includes funding for Airbus-led projects aimed at developing more efficient wing designs and increasing carbon fibre production rates for wing components, furthering efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption in aviation. #elkonisearch #sustainabilitynews #marshallaerospace #airbus #netzero #zeroemission

The project includes building new labs to create an on-site Hydrogen Integration Research Centre.” “There will also be an upgrade of test areas to support #hydrogen and #liquidhydrogen activity, plus development of Cranfield Airport’s infrastructure, increasing its capability for safe operation and testing. Cranfield is the only university in Europe with its own airport, which can demonstrate, test and advance new technologies.” “Prof Holford said: "Working with research and industry partners nationally and internationally, we will unlock some of the most significant technical challenges around the future development and deployment of hydrogen in #aviation .” “She added: "It’s a very exciting prospect for our researchers, partners and for the aviation industry.” "”It will help to build the pathway to #netzeroemissionsaviation .”” https://lnkd.in/gXNP8ExJ Source - original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

The MIDLANDS AEROSPACE ALLIANCE, with support from industry partners, is leading the charge towards net-zero emissions in the aerospace sector by 2050. This collaborative effort, known as the DMAC project, focuses on hydrogen-powered aviation and overcoming challenges in infrastructure and regulation. In an ambitious bid to decarbonise the aerospace industry, the Midlands Aerospace Alliance (MAA) has launched the Decarbonising the Midlands Aerospace Cluster (DMAC) project. With funding from the UK Government and support from industry partners like ITP Aero and Collins Aerospace, the MAA aims to create a blueprint for reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿For all the latest in Aerospace, Aviation and Defence in Wales follow Aerospace Wales Forum Ltd.

«In oct 2023, the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and 4 other departments jointly issued the Green Aviation Manufacturing Industry Development Outline (2023-2035).” Objectives include : - improving energy-saving, emission-reducing, and noise-reducing performance of domestically produced civil aircraft, - enhancing the level of green aviation manufacturing comprehensively, achieving phased results in green aviation industry development, and establishing a basic safety and effective assurance system (!) The plan also : - promotes the commercial use of electric general aviation aircraft and pilot operations for eVTOL; - ask to identify key technologies for hydrogen-powered aircraft feasibility; - emphasize exploring new fields to make technological breakthroughs. Electric power is prioritized for small aircraft, while regional/large aircraft focus on new aerodynamic layouts, sustainable aviation fuel, and hybrid power. Exploration of hydrogen energy is encouraged, with a forward-looking layout for future industries».

This phase focuses on four cutting-edge aircraft concepts designed to revolutionise SMR, Regional and Hydrogen segments with a strong emphasis on sustainability.   ✈️With these innovations, we aim to reduce net-GHG emissions down to an average of 86% thanks to an improved efficiency of 30% from aircraft technological innovations at aircraft level and the use of SAF and Hydrogen. By 2030, we expect these technologies to reach #TRL6, paving the way for disruptive new products and services, ready for Entry in Service by 2035.   In the words of Rosalinde van der Vlies, Chair Clean Aviation, European Commission Director of Clean Planet, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation states: "Decarbonising aviation in Europe relies significantly on investments in research and innovation, as well as strong coordinated approach at EU, national and regional level. This updated Clean Aviation Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda should serve as a compass for both the public and private sector in Europe, guiding the development of future disruptive aircraft technologies. It is an important piece of the puzzle to support the sustainable competitiveness of the EU aviation industry."   Read on to learn more about how we are shaping the future of sustainable aviation 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d6wfbKhk   #CleanAviation #Innovation #Research #EUfund
