UK on course to lead world in hydrogen fuel as aviation regulator expands Hydrogen Challenge | Civil Aviation Authority

The UK Civil Aviation Authority has announced the expansion and extension of the Hydrogen Challenge by launching a second round.

The next stage of the Hydrogen Challenge will see the development of:

  • New designs of cutting-edge aircraft that use hydrogen fuel cell power systems and remotely piloted systems to drive down carbon emissions.
  • Changes to airport infrastructure that could be rolled out nationwide in future, paving the way for hydrogen including safe storage and refuelling. 
  • New scientific research by some of Britain’s leading aeronautical institutes that will expand our understanding of this new fuel.
  • Flight trials, safety assessments, and demos to refine performance, address regulatory challenges, and unlock the full potential of the technology.
