Reducing emissions from commercial aircraft is a top priority for the aviation industry. Worldwide, carbon dioxide emissions from jet engines are responsible for around 2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions (private aircraft contribute a further 1%). While this is less than the emissions from cars and trucks, which account for 12% of global carbon dioxide emissions, it is still significant enough to require urgent action. Airbus and Toshiba believe they have a potential answer to the problem, and their collaboration could bring about transformative changes to aviation.
Canada is emerging as a significant player in the global hydrogen landscape, thanks to its favorable geography, rich renewable resources, and stable political environment. A recent study published by researchers at ETH Zurich in the journal Nature delves into the potential of Canada as a key hub for hydrogen production. The research analyzes the economic and environmental impacts of various large-scale hydrogen production scenarios, projecting demand until 2050.
