Energy - Hamburg Airport joins Airbus hydrogen network
Hamburg Airport is joining an international Airbus network for the use of hydrogen in aviation. On Friday (10.30 a.m.), the airport operator and the world's largest aircraft manufacturer plan to sign a cooperation agreement to this effect.
Airbus, airports, airlines and companies from the energy sector, including from France, Singapore, Japan and New Zealand, are working together in the "Hydrogen Hub at Airport" network, according to the airport's announcement. "The common goal is to research, develop and expand the infrastructure for the use of hydrogen." According to the airport, Hamburg is the first German airport in this network.
"Green" hydrogen produced as a substitute for fossil fuels is seen as one of the beacons of hope in the fight against climate change. Airbus is currently working on a hydrogen-powered passenger aircraft that should be ready for use by airlines by 2035.
Hamburg Airport is also preparing for the future of hydrogen-powered flight. The use of hydrogen as a fuel in aviation requires a completely new infrastructure. "We have to start preparing and building this infrastructure now if we want to establish climate-friendly propulsion systems in aviation in the near future," said Jan Eike Blohme-Hardegen, Head of Environmental Protection at the airport, recently.

- Airbus, recognizing the potential of 'green' hydrogen as a viable alternative to fossil fuels in the fight against climate change, is currently working on a hydrogen-powered passenger aircraft scheduled for airline usage by 2035.
- With Airbus's commitment to hydrogen-powered aircraft construction, Hamburg Airport, as a member of the network, also plans to prepare for this technological shift in aviation by establishing the necessary hydrogen infrastructure, as pointed out by Jan Eike Blohme-Hardegen, Head of Environmental Protection at the airport.
- While Airbus S. A. S. and Hamburg Airport join forces to advance hydrogen use in aviation, Germany's aircraft industry is likely to benefit from this strategic alliance, contributing to the country's overall goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to a more sustainable energy landscape.
