Coventry University is part of an industrial project, the Advanced Fuel Cell for Aviation Decarbonisation (AFCAD), aimed at advancing zero-emission propulsion technology for commercial passenger aircraft. ZeroAvia leads the consortium, supported by a £10.5 million grant from the UK Government through the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI). The project focuses on developing high temperature proton exchange membrane (HTPEM) fuel cell technology, with Coventry University contributing its expertise in fuel cell instrumentation and testing. The Research Centre for E-Mobility and Clean Growth at Coventry University will work on advancing techniques to measure the performance of new hydrogen fuel cells, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of the fuel cell's internal components and operating conditions. This collaboration seeks to accelerate the development and commercialization of ZeroAvia's fuel cell technology while ensuring compliance with aviation standards. Additionally, the project aims to strengthen the UK supply chain and manufacturing processes. The joint efforts with other prestigious academic partners like the University of Kent and the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre will focus on developing key components and complete HTPEM systems stacks for commercial aviation. The project aligns with the ATI's vision of hydrogen as the future fuel for aviation and emphasizes the importance of fuel cells with higher specific power. The partnership between Coventry University, ZeroAvia, and other renowned institutions highlights the UK's potential to lead in high temperature PEM fuel cells for aviation and beyond. With the combined expertise and resources, the AFCAD project is set to make significant progress towards achieving zero-emission aviation, contributing to a more sustainable future in air travel.
