Empowering Sustainable Aviation: EKPO's Fuel Cell Collaboration at Amsterdam Airport
Key Ideas
  • EKPO and zepp.solutions collaborate to provide a fuel cell stack for a power supply unit at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, contributing to airport decarbonization.
  • Dr. Gernot Stellberger highlights the significance of this partnership in advancing the use of powerful and compact fuel cell stacks across various applications.
  • The EKPO stack family, known for its high power density, will be integrated into the Y50 fuel cell system to ensure reliable power supply for aircrafts on the ground.
  • The project, supported by the TULIPS consortium and the European Union, aligns with the European Green Deal's goals of reducing emissions and promoting sustainable aviation.
EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies GmbH and zepp.solutions B.V. are extending their partnership to supply a fuel cell stack for a power supply unit at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. This collaboration aims to contribute to the decarbonization of airports, with the project receiving support from the European Union. Dr. Gernot Stellberger, CEO of EKPO, emphasizes the importance of integrating their fuel cell stacks into various applications, highlighting the versatility of their technology. The Y50 fuel cell system, incorporating EKPO's NM5-evo stack, will provide constant and reliable power to aircraft on the ground, boasting impressive power density. This initiative forms part of the TULIPS consortium's efforts to develop innovations for emission reduction in aviation over the next four years, aligning with the European Green Deal's objectives for sustainable aviation. By transitioning from diesel generators to hydrogen fuel cells, the project promotes environmental sustainability and collaboration among key stakeholders in the aviation industry.
