hydrogen aircraft

Edmonton International Airport announced several sustainability and hydrogen-related partnerships and investments.

ZeroAvia signed a memorandum of understanding with ZEV Station to “kick-start hydrogen fueling for aviation in California and beyond,” says ZEV Station CEO.

Airbus is investing heavily in making planes that can fly entirely on sustainable aviation fuel as a bridge to hydrogen power.

United Airlines is getting lots of attention with bold statements that it hopes to fly hydrogen jets in seven years and supersonic jets by the end of the decade.

“Green hydrogen will always be a considerably more expensive fuel than renewable electricity,” the Earthjustice report says.

As economies of scale make hydrogen production more affordable, the aviation industry’s interest in hydrogen-powered aircraft is growing.

As more modes of transportation are experimenting with the use of hydrogen fuel solutions, there are still major challenges that green hydrogen production and adoption faces.

Airbus is partnering with ElringKlinger to create a zero-emission, hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft by 2035. Airbus released three ZEROe aircraft concepts.
