George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) has been chosen as one of the five North American locations where Airbus will study the feasibility of creating a hydrogen hub.
The European multinational aerospace corporation is partnering with the Center for Houston’s Future (CHF) and Houston Airport System to examine the viability of equipping airports with the infrastructure to support hydrogen fuel for aircraft. 分析, 预计将于2025年3月结束, will focus on identifying potential opportunities and barriers to hydrogen usage at airports, 以及定义“端到端”氢供应链的要求, as Airbus works to achieve its goal of having hydrogen commercial aircraft operational and carrying passengers by 2035.
“制造使用清洁氢的飞机可能需要一些时间, but we can begin today by looking at how we can use clean hydrogen in airport operations, such as ground equipment and public transportation so we can be ready for the future,CHF首席执行官布雷特·帕尔曼说.
航空业越来越多地投资于可持续航空燃料(SAF)。, an alternative fuel made from non-petroleum feedstocks that reduces emissions from air transportation to reach net zero carbon goals. 根据美国.S. 皇冠HGA010官方下载部，航空部门 占二氧化碳总排放量的2% 占全球交通运输二氧化碳排放量的12%. 这种协作可以帮助加速SAF技术的采用.
“随着Hga010皇冠软件下载继续扩大和现代化Hga010皇冠软件下载的设施, 参与这项可持续发展研究至关重要,Jim Szczesniak说, 休斯顿市航空总监. “Continuing to build a sustainable airport system will ensure a healthy future for Houston, 吸引顶尖人才和企业, 并展示Hga010皇冠软件下载作为负责任的全球公民的承诺.”
空中客车公司的声明是在最近创建的 可持续航空燃料联盟, 一个由主要航空公司组成的非营利组织, manufacturers and trade groups to advance the development of low-carbon fuels and decrease emissions in the industry. The organization will also advocate for federal policies that support the creation of a robust domestic market with lower prices and higher supply. 在休斯顿拥有强大影响力的联盟成员包括美国联合航空公司, 波音公司和美洲住友公司.
其他SAF的发展包括 联合公司和Cemvita公司之间的协议, a Houston-based cleantech startup focused on applying synthetic biology to enable a sustainable energy transition, to supply the airline with up to one billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel from their first full-scale SAF plant over the next twenty years.
