Sustainable air travel is a critical step in achieving net zero targets around the world. Under a 1.5-degree scenario, aircraft emissions are anticipated to more than triple by 2050, consuming up to one-quarter of the global carbon budget.
In a mission to find a viable alternative to fossil fuels, aerospace manufacturers Marshall, GKN Aerospace, and Parker Aerospace have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to investigate liquid hydrogen fuel system technologies for the next generation of zero-emission aircraft.
According to the firm, hydrogen propulsion, whether by fuel cells or combustion, is seen as a vital option for the aviation sector to meet its target of net zero emissions by 2050.
