Brussels Airport, in partnership with Stargate EU Green Deal partners VIL and DHL, has embarked on a pioneering pilot project to explore the use of hydrogen in ground handling operations. The initiative involves the implementation of a hydrogen refuelling station and a hydrogen-powered Mulag towing tractor, marking a significant shift towards sustainable alternatives to conventional fuels and electric equipment. The project aims to significantly reduce emissions and noise at the airport. As part of this initiative, VIL and WaterstofNet have established a mobile hydrogen refuelling station on the tarmac, supporting the broader Stargate project that brings together 21 partners committed to developing sustainable airport solutions. DHL is actively involved in testing a hydrogen prototype equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell system for cargo transport and loading. One key aspect of the project is the comprehensive training provided to all personnel involved to ensure the safe and efficient operation of hydrogen-powered equipment. The pilot project, scheduled to run until June 27th, seeks to assess the viability of hydrogen for ground handling operations, offering valuable insights into necessary procedures, safety requirements, and operational benefits. The knowledge gained will be shared with other airports participating in the Stargate project to promote the adoption of hydrogen technology. Hydrogen-powered vehicles, similar to their electric counterparts, offer environmental advantages by producing no CO2 emissions and operating quietly, benefiting both local communities and airport workers. Moreover, these vehicles can be refuelled instantly, providing operational advantages over electric vehicles. This pilot project signifies a significant advancement towards the broader integration of hydrogen technology in aviation, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
