British Airways (BA) sees hydrogen-powered 19-seater aircraft becoming cost competitive with its current fossil fuel model from 2027, and hydrogen-powered 72-seater and 180-seater aircraft becoming cost competitive with its current operations from 2030 onwards. That’s what Carrie Harris, Head of Sustainability at British Airways, told the Westminster Energy Environment & Transport Forum’s Growing the hydrogen market in the UK virtual…
In parallel with this project, Air Liquide will support the development of a new open and global liquid hydrogen refueling standard together in a large industry working group (sLH2 “subcooled“ liquid hydrogen).
These are the most important results at a glance: In West Africa alone, a maximum of 165,000 TWh of green hydrogen could be produced annually. For comparison: That corresponds to 110 times the amount of green hydrogen that Germany will probably have to import in 2050. Of these 165,000 TWh of hydrogen, around 120,000 TWh could be produced annually for…
“If we’re going to subsidise electric, which makes sense to me, we’ve got to subsidise hydrogen as well. I think it’s definitely something that we need for the future, hydrogen for vehicles. Everyone agrees hydrogen is the best option for heavy-duty, it’s a no-brainer, but I think it’s extremely important for light-duty too.”
The Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles has produced a new video, in cooperation with private companies and government agencies, which succinctly details the creation of a hydrogen energy sector and the creation of a Hydrogen Society, both in Japan and in collaboration with partners in Southern California and Los Angeles. An exciting example of how our nations are…
