Airbus, along with a consortium of leading companies and academic partners, has initiated the GOLIAT (Ground Operations of LIquid hydrogen Aircraft) project to advance the handling and refueling of liquid hydrogen (LH2) at airports. With a significant budget of 10.8 million euros from the EU Horizon Europe program, the project aims to develop technologies over a period of four years that will play a key role in decarbonizing aviation. The consortium, comprising 10 partners from eight different countries, will showcase LH2 refueling technologies at airports in smaller-scale demonstrations, with a specific focus on future large-volume commercial aircraft. The initial test flights are scheduled to take place at airports located in Stuttgart, Budapest, and Rotterdam The Hague. Key figures involved emphasize the transformative potential of hydrogen in the aviation sector, citing its ability to contribute significantly to a sustainable future. The project's scope extends beyond technical advancements to the establishment of standards and certification frameworks for upcoming LH2 operations, crucial steps in the endeavor to reduce CO2 emissions from aviation and bolster Europe's energy independence.
