Brussels Airport, in collaboration with VIL and DHL, is conducting a groundbreaking pilot project to test the use of hydrogen for ground handling operations. This project, part of the Stargate initiative involving 21 partners, involves the installation of a mobile hydrogen refueling station and a hydrogen-powered Mulag at the airport. The aim is to evaluate hydrogen as an alternative fuel alongside electric equipment, with a focus on reducing emissions and noise impact in ground operations. The project includes comprehensive training for personnel involved in fueling and operations, ensuring safety and efficiency. The testing of a hydrogen prototype Mulag towing tractor, refueled using the on-site mobile station, is a significant step towards promoting sustainable practices in airport operations. The project also aims to provide insights into permit processes, safety requirements, and operational experiences for all partners involved. This initiative not only emphasizes the environmental benefits of hydrogen, such as zero CO2 emissions and noise reduction, but also highlights the advantage of instant fueling, making operations less dependent on the electricity grid. The six-week test period, ending on June 27, will serve as a model for other airports looking to adopt hydrogen technology. By showcasing the efficiency and environmental advantages of hydrogen-powered equipment, this pilot project is a crucial milestone in advancing sustainable practices in the aviation industry and paving the way for a greener future.
