As the world moves towards a cleaner, more sustainable future, the aviation industry is faced with the challenge of reducing its carbon footprint. With the industry responsible for around 2% of global carbon emissions, finding a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels is crucial. Hydrogen is one potential solution that has been gaining attention in recent years. In this article, we will explore the role of hydrogen as a fuel for aviation and the potential benefits and challenges it presents.
Lufthansa Technik, Hamburg Airport and two aviation development centres are working together to find ways of storing hydrogen that can be used as fuel for aircraft.
For short journeys probably with electricity and hydrogen, for long journeys with biofuels. Everyday realities have not yet been deeply affected by the determination of most of the developed world to move to a climate-neutral, CO2-free economy in all sectors.
