Deakin University's Hycel and AMSL Aero have announced a research partnership to advance hydrogen fuel cells for aviation use, with a focus on sustainable energy solutions. Hycel's Director, Professor Tiffany Walsh, highlighted the organization's role in supporting industry innovation to reduce reliance on fossil fuels through hydrogen technologies. The partnership allows AMSL Aero access to cutting-edge hydrogen fuel cell testing facilities at Hycel's Technology Hub in Warrnambool, offering a crucial step in testing fuel cell performance for the Vertiia aircraft. AMSL Aero, an Australian aerospace company, aims to develop Vertiia as the country's first passenger-capable, long-range hydrogen-powered aircraft for emergency response and air transport in remote areas. The collaboration aims to leverage hydrogen expertise to usher in emissions-free air travel and drive the growth of low and zero-carbon solutions. Hycel's hands-on approach to hydrogen application and partnership with industry demonstrates a shared commitment to environmental sustainability and technological advancement in the aerospace sector.
