As much as we need to cutaviations emissions, batteries arent going to do the trick.
So how can we make aviation sustainable?
They also highlight that green liquid hydrogen is the optimum fuel for the first generation of zero-emission aircraft.
The spin-off will assistEAGin developing the worlds first True Zero (i.e.
targeting zero carbon and NOx emissions) 90-seater hydrogen hybrid-electric regional aircraft the H2ERA.
The green hydrogen for the tests was created by wind and tidal power.
The success of this hydrogen test is an exciting milestone.
As promising as hydrogen sounds, there are still many challenges ahead.
Hydrogen has lower energy density by volume compared to conventional fuel.
