Decarbonizing Aviation: Transforming Air Travel Through Sustainable Solutions
Key Ideas
  • H2V, Hy2gen, and VINCI Airports collaborate to explore production and distribution of e-SAF derived from low-carbon hydrogen, aiming to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Lyon and Alpine airports by 2030.
  • VINCI Airports' commitment to decarbonization includes pioneering SAF distribution, implementing sustainable initiatives like a carbon-based landing fee modulation, airport emission reduction, and passenger engagement.
  • Looking ahead, VINCI Airports invests in hydrogen infrastructure through the Clean Hydrogen Infrastructure Fund to drive long-term decarbonization in the aviation industry.
  • The partnership and initiatives by VINCI Airports set a benchmark for sustainable aviation practices and signify a step towards cleaner air travel globally.
At the Hyvolution trade show in Lyon, France, leading sustainable energy companies H2V and Hy2gen, in partnership with VINCI Airports, have signed an agreement to explore synthetic sustainable aviation fuels (e-SAF) production and distribution. The focus is on supplying e-SAF to commercial airlines at Lyon and Alpine airports by 2030. The e-SAF, derived from low-carbon hydrogen, can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 86% compared to conventional kerosene. VINCI Airports' initiatives, aligned with decarbonization goals, include pioneering SAF distribution, implementing key measures for aviation decarbonization, and investing in hydrogen infrastructure for long-term sustainability. Guillaume DUBOIS, Technical Director of VINCI Airports, emphasizes the commitment to decarbonizing air transport, setting a precedent for cleaner air travel practices globally.
