Airbus, Kansai Airports, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the feasibility of hydrogen infrastructure at three airports in the Kansai region of Japan. This collaboration is part of the 'Hydrogen Hub at Airports' program and aims to introduce hydrogen aircraft operations at Kansai International Airport, Osaka International Airport, and Kobe Airport. The three parties will conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to develop a hydrogen supply roadmap at the airports, assessing technology, economics, legal aspects, and operations. The partnership is in line with Japan's hydrogen-based energy strategy for carbon neutrality by 2050. Airbus has been working with Kansai Airports since 2022 on hydrogen use in airport infrastructure, leveraging the region's existing hydrogen infrastructures. The partnership with Kawasaki Heavy Industries brings expertise in designing end-to-end liquid hydrogen supply networks and airport infrastructure development. The collaboration aims to accelerate efforts towards decarbonization in the aviation industry. The partnership envisions a future where hydrogen-powered aircraft can operate, significantly reducing emissions both in the air and on the ground. This initiative supports Airbus' goal to bring the world's first hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft to market by 2035. The 'Hydrogen Hub at Airports' program has partnerships in 14 countries, emphasizing global research into infrastructure requirements and low-carbon airport operations.
