Flying on electricity & hydrogen, by AZEA   The publication on electric and hydrogen aircraft from a European perspective is now being published. Read about this below and in more detail in the accompanying link.   ……      NISA, Nordic Initiative for Sustainable Aviation, has participated in the EU commission's Alliance for Zero Emission Aviation (AZEA) over the past few years. Today AZEA has published an extensive material on what the vision is for the future of zero emission aviation: Flying on electricity & hydrogen.   You can read some of the main points from the AZEA report below, and find the full publication by this link: https://lnkd.in/du9fh-_5   The report sets the ambitious objective to have 36 to 68% of intra-EU flights operated by these new aircraft configurations by 2050 and describes how they would progressively penetrate the market. It identifies the total renewable and low carbon energy required to operate those flights in 2050: The transition to electric and hydrogen aviation represents a considerable challenge, requiring the collaboration of all stakeholders to address the technological, infrastructural, and regulatory hurdles. However, beyond these hurdles is an opportunity that is even greater - to reshape the way we travel, to significantly reduce our environmental footprint, and to pioneer a sustainable future for global aviation with European technology.  In addition to the collaboration in AZEA, NISA works through the EU project ALIGHT and the Nordic electric aircraft network NEA to promote the development of new propellants. Furthermore, there is a need to establish stakeholder forums to coordinate the many elements needed to prepare for receiving the future zero emission aircraft. Relevant for operators, airports, authorities, and other players who will play a role in this exciting and necessary development.    Feel free to contact NISA for more about these initiatives and about the activities of AZEA, ALIGHT or NEA. NISA website: www.nisa.dk #azea #electricaviation #hydrogenaviation #sustainableaviation #zeroemission

With hydrogen technology and infrastructure in a huge phase of advancement, we're starting to see industries preparing to make the switch. Hydrogen is expected to be a key player in Singapore's decarb journey. #Hydrogen #EnergyTransition #Singapore

Great milestone for hydrogen in aircraft application. There are two primary uses for hydrogen: Hydrogen propulsion: Hydrogen can be combusted through modified gas-turbine engines or converted into electrical power that complements the gas turbine via fuel cells. The combination of both creates a highly efficient hybrid-electric propulsion chain powered entirely by hydrogen. Synthetic fuels: Hydrogen can be used to create e-fuels, which are generated exclusively through renewable energy

✈️ Exciting News in Hydrogen Powered Sustainable Aviation! 💦 An innovative project led by Airbus, alongside academic partners, airport operators, and leading hydrogen-industry companies, has been launched to demonstrate small-scale liquid hydrogen (LH2) aircraft ground operations at three European airports. This project, known as #GOLIAT (Ground Operations of LIquid hydrogen AircrafT), aims to decarbonise short- and medium-haul aviation, contributing significantly to Europe’s energy independence and the broader trend of hydrogen for mobility. The GOLIAT project, funded with €10.8 million from the EU’s Horizon Europe Framework Programme, will: 🔹 Develop and demonstrate scaled-up LH2 refuelling technologies for future commercial aircraft 🔹 Demonstrate small-scale LH2 aircraft ground operations at airports 🔹 Develop standardisation and certification frameworks for LH2 operations 🔹 Assess the hydrogen value chain’s sizing and economics for airports The consortium, consisting of 10 partners from eight countries, including Airbus, Delft University of Technology, and VINCI Airports, will pave the way for the aviation industry’s adoption of LH2 transportation and energy storage solutions. This clean and efficient fuel holds great promise for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Jillian Evanko, CEO and President, Chart Industries, Inc.: “It is a privilege to work with the esteemed GOLIAT Consortium partners and progress decarbonization in heavy transport through the value chain,” stated Jill Evanko, Chart’s CEO and President. “With over 158 years of experience in hydrogen technology, process and equipment, we are excited to share our expertise to further progress the liquid hydrogen application in mobility and transport as well as the associated infrastructure.” Alexei Sharpanskykh, Elise Bavelaar and Pieter-Jan Proesmans Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft: “At Delft University of Technology, we are researching various aspects of hydrogen-powered aviation since this energy carrier shows great potential to reduce aviation’s climate impact. To facilitate this transition, we should develop suitable airport infrastructure and operations. As a partner in the GOLIAT project, we look forward to creating operational concepts and computational models for airport ground operations of hydrogen-powered aircraft, considering the airline’s perspective. This way, we can help airports and airlines prepare for future hydrogen aircraft and contribute to a more sustainable aviation ecosystem.” 🌍Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking project! ✈️ #SustainableAviation #HydrogenEconomy #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Airbus #GOLIAT #LH2 #LiquidHydrogen

The UK has already made significant investments in hydrogen aviation. This has not only been financial investment via the previously mentioned ATI and direct private investment, it has also come in the form of building awareness and deep technical expertise across the organisations working on these innovations. Commercialising the UK’s progress to date will require a further step change in our ambition. Bringing this technology to the aviation market, where there is so much government and regulatory involvement, will require drive and coordination. Put simply, an industrial strategy for aviation with hydrogen at its heart is of vital importance. There are currently four government departments that hold the different parts of this puzzle – the Department for Business and Trade; the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero; the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom and His Majesty’s HM Treasury – also, two regulators will be important factors, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

"Project Acorn: Pioneering Hydrogen Trials in Aviation" The Hydrogen in Aviation (HIA) group, spearheaded by easyJet, marks a milestone with 'Project Acorn,' a groundbreaking hydrogen trial powering ground support equipment at Bristol Airport. Led by Lahiru Ranasinghe, easyJet's head of net zero, the initiative underscores hydrogen's potential as the "future of short-haul aviation." Compressed hydrogen, stored in cylindrical tanks and dispensed via a hyQube refueling station, fueled a baggage tractor during live operations, showcasing the viability of hydrogen in airside environments. The collaboration with the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) not only informs regulatory guidance but also highlights the industry's commitment to innovation and decarbonization. The HIA group's report emphasizes the importance of CAA resourcing, government incentives, workforce training, and transition funds to propel hydrogen adoption in aviation. Tim Johnson, CAA's director of strategy, policy, and communications, underscores the trial's significance in shaping safety standards and contributing to a forthcoming White Paper. easyJet's engagement in HIA reflects its broader commitment to hydrogen as a zero-emission aviation fuel, exemplified by partnerships like its collaboration with Rolls-Royce on hydrogen combustion engines. Through initiatives like 'Project Acorn,' the aviation industry takes bold strides towards a sustainable and low-carbon future. https://lnkd.in/drXp8Uqs
