Airbus SE and Kansai Airports Group have agreed to study the use
of hydrogen at three of the Japanese company's airports.
The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to
look into the development of infrastructure and jointly prepare how
they would address the adoption of hydrogen for Japan's aviation
sector, the European plane maker said.
The studies will take place at Kansai International Airport,
Osaka International Airport, and Kobe Airport, Airbus said.
Airbus will provide aircraft specifications, information about
fleet energy usage and that of hydrogen-powered planes, while
Kansai will assess the infrastructure needs of each airport for
hydrogen-powered planes, Airbus said.
The Japanese airport operator said the agreement will help it
reach a 2050 net-zero greenhouse gas target for its three
airports.
The agreement follows one between Airbus and Kawasaki Heavy
Industries Ltd. last month for the formation of a hydrogen
society.
Hydrogen is seen as an attractive alternative fuel for the
aviation industry. The fuel produces zero carbon emissions and can
be created from renewable energy, Airbus said.
