On-demand webinar – Future of flight: hydrogen in civil aviation
29/07/2024
On Tuesday 16 July 2024, we hosted a webinar on the theme of hydrogen in civil aviation. Hydrogen harbours huge potential for the aviation industry, with the scope to achieve global decarbonisation targets and create a sustainable future. Here at Cranfield University, we are at the forefront of hydrogen research in the UK, via the development of the first major hydrogen technology hub to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen as a net zero aviation fuel: the Cranfield Hydrogen Integration Incubator (CH2i).

During this expert-led webinar, we explored the opportunities and challenges of hydrogen in civil aviation, and discussed the latest thinking and research being carried out in this area. Our panel of experts covered a range of topics, including:
- The five pillars of civil aviation sustainability.
- The breadth and depth of hydrogen research at Cranfield.
- Hydrogen at the airport.
- The key technical challenges faced by industry.
- Hydrogen in the space industry.
