Hydrogen Electric Aircraft Scheme Hatched By EU Nations Much of the attention around electric aircraft involves moving beyond small, regional-hopping passenger planes into the long distance territory of jumbo jets. The US-UK startup ZeroAvia is one stakeholder leaning on hydrogen fuel cells to do the heavy lifting. That’s going to take a while to scale up. In the meantime, the company is also looking into the idea of tapping into new opportunities to decarbonize smaller airfields in Europe. That could provide a counterbalance to the flight-shaming movement, which advises ground travel for regional trips. https://lnkd.in/dfSzQP4C

ZeroAvia has received a conditional order from Maritime Energy Heli Air Services (MEHAIR), for a maximum of 20 ZA600 hydrogen-electric engines. These engines have been under development with Zero Avia for a long time and their current plan involves their aim to have the engine certified by the end of 2025. Along with working to develop the engine itself, the company has also been working with the UK’s CAA, plus other regulators, to make sure that the engine is certified across the globe. The order that MEHAIR made, brings the total number of engine pre-orders which ZeroAvia has received up to 2,000. The article below highlights the excellent and significant progress which ZeroAvia has made within the aircraft industry and it is the order from MEHAIR which has helped them. The article also talks about the innovative design ZeroAvia has chosen for the development of their technology. Interested in attending North America's largest conference dedicated to Hydrogen?

The future of flights? Hydrogen-Electric Aviation!✈️ ZeroAvia and KLM are partnering to bring a groundbreaking innovation to the aviation industry. Over the next 18 months, they will work together to complete an initial A-to-B flight demonstration using a large turboprop aircraft with around 80 seats. What is to be expected? 🔋 ZeroAvia’s ZA2000 Hydrogen-Electric Engines: These engines utilize liquid hydrogen in fuel cells to generate electricity, which powers electric motors to turn the aircraft’s propellers. The only byproduct is water vapor, resulting in zero carbon dioxide emissions. CleanSky and McKinsey have found that hydrogen-electric flights can reduce climate impact by up to 90% compared to traditional kerosene-fueled flights. 🌱 Sustainable Impact: The lifecycle climate impact will depend on the source of the liquid hydrogen. KLM and ZeroAvia will focus on fuel procurement, supporting infrastructure, and regulatory permits in the coming months. The aim is to establish operational concepts for hydrogen aircraft across KLM’s network and the EU. 🌟 These initiatives mark a significant step towards a more sustainable future in aviation. Stay tuned for further updates! #Sustainability #Aviation #Innovation #decadeofaction https://lnkd.in/eDxjJHMG

Airlander and hydrogen as a fuel Today’s aviation relies on kerosene, a dense fossil fuel, but this contrasts sharply with a future that demands greener ways of powering flight. The potential of green hydrogen is clear, boasting nearly triple the energy per kilogramme. This makes hydrogen an enticing zero-carbon power source for aircraft. Hydrogen requires more volume for storage compared to kerosene, which will be a challenge for current aircraft, however hydrogen's advantages align well with Airlander which allows for it to be an early adopter. It’s spacious hull can accommodate cryogenic tanks and fuel cells without encroaching on cabin space and provides a safe test platform for the future. By utilising hydrogen fuel cells, alongside electric motors, Airlander will offer a new option for regional passenger transport with zero emissions.

Great Summary from Hybrid Air Vehicles Ltd, on Hydrogen as an Aviation Fuel: Key Points 1️⃣ Energy Density: • Hydrogen has nearly three times the energy per kilogram compared to kerosene, making it the most energy-dense fuel. • Aircraft using hydrogen could be lighter and might require smaller wings, beneficial for zero-carbon emissions. 2️⃣ Storage Space Requirements: • Hydrogen needs nearly four times the volume of kerosene to store the same amount of energy. • It will be stored in cryogenic tanks on aircraft, which are not compatible with current conformal wing fuel tanks. • #Airlander has ample space within its hull for these tanks, unlike conventional aircraft. 3️⃣ Availability and Affordability: • Green hydrogen, while currently expensive, is expected to become cheaper than conventional jet fuel as production scales up. • Investment in hydrogen production is increasing, especially in the US, but the pace of aviation’s transition to hydrogen remains uncertain. 4️⃣ Infrastructure Investment: • Transitioning to hydrogen fuel will require significant investment, comparable to building a new airport terminal. • Major airports will face high costs, but Airlander can reduce infrastructure expenses by using road deliveries and minimising reliance on conventional airport facilities. #LiquidHydrogen #SustainableAviation #LH2

Interesting. Will developments in hydrogen storage and use make aviation a viable option.
