Imagine boarding a plane that hums quietly into the sky, leaving nothing behind but a faint trail of water vapor. No choking fumes, no guilt about your carbon footprint just a smooth, clean ride. That’s the promise of hydrogen propulsion, a technology that’s been buzzing around the aviation world like a persistent mosquito. But as we sit here in March 2025, sipping our coffee and staring at a world desperate to decarbonize, the question looms large: can hydrogen really take flight, or is it just a shiny dream dangling out of reach?

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.
