Hydrogen-powered aviation: preparing for take-off | Clean Sky

Hydrogen as an energy source will play a key role in transforming aviation into a zero-carbon / climate-neutral system over the next few decades.

Really interesting and detailed report on the future of Hydrogen in flight. One statistic that stood out for me is that two thirds of emissions come from short and medium haul flights. These are the ones that have the greatest potential for early moves in hydrogen or electrification. The report seems to suggest that Hydrogen would need to develop for other sectors first to enable the infrastructure to develop.

Seems like the chicken and egg problem is prominent in getting hydrogen energy off the ground (pun intended!)

Very much so Matt... I love the way the report says that airports don't need to worry as the infrastrcuture will be in place! The volumes of Hydrogen needed would be staggering so I think we'd have to look at airport specific supplychains....
