Infrastructure
Airport owners and operators need to plan for the delivery and storage of hydrogen now if they are to be ready to fuel hydrogen-powered aircraft which are expected by 2035. New research by ÍøÆسԹϺÚÁÏÒ»Çø¶þÇøÈýÇø, "Airports as Catalysts for Decarbonization", provides a roadmap for airports to implement to begin preparing for hydrogen fueling technologies, building on our work for the Aeronautical Technology Institute FlyZero Report, .
Due to the length of time it takes to plan, design, consult and implement new airport infrastructure, airports must make provisions ahead of the first commercially available hydrogen-powered aircraft expected in the early to mid-2030s.
To help airports transition, ÍøÆسԹϺÚÁÏÒ»Çø¶þÇøÈýÇø evaluated three scenarios for the supply and storage of hydrogen at an airport:
Scenario 1 - the delivery of liquid hydrogen directly to the airport by truck.
Scenario 2 - the use of a hydrogen gas pipeline with on-site liquefaction.
Scenario 3 - the use of electrolysis for hydrogen production on site at the airport.
