Airbus, Kansai Airports, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries have announced a partnership to study the feasibility of hydrogen infrastructure at three airports in the Kansai region of Japan. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) focuses on the introduction and operation of hydrogen aircraft as part of the 'Hydrogen Hub at Airports' program. The collaboration involves conducting an initial feasibility study to develop a hydrogen infrastructure and supply roadmap at Kansai International Airport, Osaka International Airport, and Kobe Airport. The partnership is based on the successful demonstration of hydrogen infrastructures by Kansai Airports through fuel cell buses and forklifts. The studies conducted by Airbus and Kawasaki have provided a solid understanding of hydrogen infrastructures at the airports, leading to the second phase of an integrated feasibility study. The collaboration aims to support hydrogen-powered aircraft operations by 2035, aligning with Japan's carbon neutrality target for 2050. Airbus has forecasted a growing demand for liquid hydrogen to support aircraft operations, with the belief that Japan's mature hydrogen industry supported by extensive policy measures creates a promising market for hydrogen aviation. The three companies aim to accelerate the decarbonization of airport infrastructure in Japan and contribute to a future where hydrogen aircraft can operate sustainably. The use of hydrogen in aviation is seen as a key strategy to reduce emissions both in the air and on the ground. Airbus has initiated the development of hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft with the vision to bring them to market by 2035. The 'Hydrogen Hub at Airports' program aims to advance research into infrastructure requirements for low-carbon airport operations globally, with agreements already in place with partners in multiple countries.
