The German Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) today announced the launch of the BALIS 2.0 Project. Dr Volker Wissing Federal Minister for Digital and Transport, awarded the funding document for the further development of fuel cell systems for regional aircraft to the consortium during the project kick-off at Stuttgart Airport. The BALIS 2.0 Project, led by H2FLY and supported by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Diehl Aviation, aims to develop and test a high-performance fuel cell system with an output of 350 kW designed for commercial aircraft applications. The 350 kW fuel cell system serves as a basic module to develop hydrogen-electric powertrain systems in the MW-class range, which could power regional aircraft with 40 - 80 seats in the future, emission-free. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Josef Kallo co-founder & CEO at H2FLY says "The federal funding for the BALIS 2.0 project underlines the increasing importance of hydrogen fuel cell systems as a propulsion solution for aviation. The insights gained from this project will further support the development of powertrain systems in the megawatt-class range and significantly contribute to the transition towards sustainable and emission-free aviation #Technology #SustainableAviation #CleanSkies #Hydrogen #LH2 #H2Fly

A new Airbus-led pan-European consortium has been launched to explore the challenges around liquid hydrogen refuelling and handling for aviation.  Known as GOLIAT (Ground Operations of LIquid hydrogen AircrafT), the project is aiming to demonstrate the safe handling of liquid hydrogen (LH2) at three European airports. Over the course of its four-year programme, GOLIAT partners will develop LH2 refuelling for small-scale hydrogen aircraft, with a view to scaling up the technology for larger commercial aircraft in the future. The project will also look to develop an LH2 standardisation and certification framework, as well as assess the sizing and economics of the hydrogen value chains for airports.

Technical brief on #technology meet #infrastructure The report of Alliance for Zero Emission Aviation #AZEA worth to look on to view on reshape of industry! The report, covers the guidance for the aviation ecosystem and policymakers in their mission to reach the #GreenDeal objective of #netzero #aviation in Europe by 2050.

✈The Alliance for Zero Emission Aviation #AZEA just published its vision report, launched at ILA Berlin - Pioneering Aerospace. The report, endorsed by European Commission’s DG DEFIS, provides guidance for the aviation ecosystem and policymakers in their mission to reach the #GreenDeal objective of #netzero #aviation in Europe by 2050. Here are some numbers of “Flying on #electricity and #hydrogen in Europe”: 🔎Forecast of over 5000 #zeroemission flights in 2050 in the baseline scenario, 22 000 in the ambitious scenario 💧1,2 to 2,9 Mt/y of #hydrogen required to operate these flights ⚡69 to 168 TWh/a electricity required to produce the hydrogen needed In order to reach these targets, there’s the need for: 🔩Adequate #infrastructure and the formation of hydrogen hubs at and around key aerodromes 📐Integration of the energy demand from the aviation sector into general #energyplanning ⚖Creation of an ecosystem of airlines, aerodromes, manufacturers, energy producers working together and being accompanied by supportive policy This common vision demonstrates the Alliance’s commitment to make the energy shift towards hydrogen a reality in aviation. #H2Europe is proud to be part of this Alliance.

It's good to see the aviation industry taking steps in the use of hydrogen for the ground support equipment (GSE). It's a logical step towards the eventual use of hydrogen within the wider aviation sector. Airports could serve as hydrogen hubs for all manner of logistical equipment and public transport in future.

✈️ Developing a more sustainable aviation model means setting up the necessary infrastructure for #hydrogen distribution at airports. That is why Airbus is partnering with several airports in North America 🇺🇸🇨🇦 as well as Delta Air Lines: the manufacturer plans to launch multiple feasibility studies, “in order to understand what are the conditions of readiness for this hydrogen ecosystem.” 🔍 This is part of Airbus’ ambitions to develop its own passenger aircraft powered by H2 in 2035 under its ZEROe program. Great to see our partner take the lead on this crucial aspect for the transition to #zeroemission planes! 🛫 https://lnkd.in/gn-WaUdW

“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.
