The aviation industry is turning to hydrogen as an essential solution to aid the decarbonisation drive. To deliver on this ambition and harness the potential of clean fuel in aviation, Scotland has a series of initiatives aiming to prove the viability of zero-emission flight and build vital infrastructure.
According to various estimates, the aviation sector is responsible for up to 3% of all carbon emissions globally. To address this impact, hydrogen aircraft are expected to become an increasingly common sight in the skies over the next two decades and beyond.
By 2040, the International Air Transport Association predicts hydrogen aircraft will account for the majority of those used for commercial short-haul flights. As soon as 2035, an estimated 50–100 commercial aircraft could be running on hydrogen for flights lasting 90 minutes.
