Future Passenger Planes Could Use AI To Maintain A Smooth In-Flight Experience On The Fly

The U.S. Department of Energy said on Wednesday it has awarded up to $2.2 billion to centers on the Gulf Coast and in the Midwest to develop hydrogen, an emerging source of energy that is expensive to produce using renewable power.

Hydrogen backers, including the administration of President Joe Biden, believe that low-carbon hydrogen can fight climate change by fueling heavy industry such as aluminum, cement, steel and long-haul transportation. The vast majority of hydrogen is produced now with fossil fuels with unabated emissions, at a fraction of the cost of clean hydrogen.

Backers hope clean hydrogen will be produced commercially in coming years with renewable energy, natural gas combined with carbon capture, and nuclear power.

It is uncertain how hydrogen will fare under President-elect Donald Trump, but the awards came from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law.
