Carbon Free Hydrogen Powered Airplanes: Universal Hydrogen and Japanese Companies Team Up
According to an article from Green Car Congress, Universal Hydrogen has joined forces with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Japan Airlines (JAL), and Marubeni to explore the possibilities of hydrogen-powered aeroplanes.
More important details that we grabbed from the article are
- Goal: Develop and implement hydrogen-powered aircraft to decarbonize aviation and achieve sustainable air travel.
- Focus Areas:
- Hydrogen production
- Transportation and infrastructure:
- Marketing and financing
- Potential: Cleaner, quieter, more sustainable flights, long-distance ecotourism opportunities.
- Challenges: Development, infrastructure, cost.
We can achieve Green Skies soon !
