Decarbonizing aviation with liquid hydrogen (LH2) requires not only a long-term vision for a target year – but also a realistic transition pathway for the necessary infrastructure. In this paper, we used…

Summary: This study formulates an HSCN (hydrogen supply chain network) design problem tailored to aviation. The model minimizes total system cost by selecting facility locations, capacities, transportation modes and flows across the…

Power-to-Liquid (PtL) fuels represent a promising pathway for decarbonizing the aviation industry, independent from range restrictions and new aircraft designs. However, they require novel supply chains with several activities and actors involved.…

The supply of hydrogen for aviation is associated with environmental impacts that occur mainly during the hydrogen production process. In this article, we focus on hydrogen production using water electrolysis and highlight…

What makes an airport suitable to be a “first mover” in H2-powered aviation? In this paper, now published in Energy Conversion and Management: X, we evaluate the initial development phase of LH2…

Green hydrogen is a promising energy carrier to decarbonize the air transportation system and offers different application options. The use of liquid hydrogen (LH2) requires extensive changes to the existing infrastructure and…

In order to understand how the future supply of liquid hydrogen (LH2) for airports could work, it is essential to understand the organisation and structure of the current fuel infrastructure. For this…

The economic competitiveness of H2-powered aviation highly depends on the supply costs of green LH2 to enable true-zero CO2 flying. This study uses non-linear energy system optimization to analyze three main LH2…

With interest in carbon-neutral aviation at an all-time high, one of the main questions being asked is: are there any resource limitations for the implementation of H2-powered aviation on a global scale?…

The hydrogen momentum affects the air transportation system. While several articles have addressed the technological or techno-economic bottlenecks, macroeconomic considerations of hydrogen use in aviation are so far underexplored. However, hydrogen-powered aviation…
