Aviation and energy consortium formed to progress green hydrogen flights in New Zealand<\/b>Six aviation and energy businesses have formed a sustainable propulsion partnership in New Zealand to assess and drive the introduction of flights powered by green hydrogen. The Hydrogen Consortium has been established by Airbus, Air New Zealand, Christchurch Airport, Fortescue Future Industries, Hiringa Energy and Fabrum. Together, the companies will create a vision for hydrogen-powered air transport in the South Pacific nation, study the hydrogen supply chain, assess projected hydrogen needs for New Zealand aviation to 2050, and develop a package of policies, regulations and incentives to promote hydrogen-powered air transport. The first phase of the programme will be\u2026<\/div>\n\n

Heathrow offers airlines \u00a338m to support greater use of SAF as government consults on 2040 zero-emission target for airports<\/b>London\u2019s Heathrow Airport is making available a \u00a338 million ($46m) fund to encourage airlines using the airport to power their aircraft in part by sustainable aviation fuel, with the incentive aimed at covering up to 50% of the extra cost of SAF compared to conventional jet fuel. The oversubscribed incentive scheme started in 2022 with six airlines participating and Heathrow is now aiming to triple the percentage of SAF used this year to 1.5% and become one of the world\u2019s leading airport users of SAF. English airports are targeted by the UK government to be zero-emission by 2040 and\u2026<\/div>\n\n

Honeywell is leading a European consortium to develop an aerospace-qualified megawatt-class fuel cell propulsion system powered by hydrogen. Project NEWBORN<\/a>, a European Clean Aviation project, will involve 18 multidisciplinary partners from 10 countries and work will be performed at the Honeywell Technology Solutions R&D centre in Brno, Czech Republic and at other Honeywell and project partner sites across Europe. The final demonstrator will be integrated and tested by Slovene-based Pipistrel Vertical Solutions. Meanwhile, Honeywell has received its first delivery of SAF<\/a> at its Phoenix Engines campus, which will support development and production testing of APUs and propulsion engines at the site, along with testing of fielded units from Honeywell\u2019s repair and overhaul facility. The HEFA SAF was developed by World Energy using Honeywell\u2019s UOP Ecofining technology.<\/div>\n \n <\/i>\n Honeywell<\/div>\n \n

The US Department of Energy has awarded $118 million<\/a> in funding for projects, many of them related to SAF, to accelerate domestic biofuel production. The selected projects include pre-pilot, pilot and demonstration projects that will produce renewable fuels from widely available domestic feedstocks and advanced refining technologies. The funded projects align with the renewable fuels goals in the first-ever US National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization and also support the US SAF Grand Challenge goal of enabling the production of 3 billion gallons of SAF annually by 2030 and 35 billion gallons annually by 2050. Among the SAF project funding recipients are Algenesis, Captis Aire, Cornstock, Research Triangle Institute, Viridos, LanzaTech, Alder Fuels and the universities of California (Riverside) and Utah.<\/div>\n \n \n
