UK regulator bringing together experts for hydrogen fuel development
The UK Civil Aviation Authority is gathering a group of experts together for a new working group to support the development and use of hydrogen in the aviation industry.
H2Wo (the Hydrogen Working Group) will help accelerate the development and implementation of the Hydrogen Challenge.
The Working Group will help develop hydrogen into a scalable form of aviation fuel, focusing on the use of Hydrogen to power aircraft.
It will also be involved in the certification of aircraft which use it and the handling, safety and infrastructure needed at airports.
The group will be a collaboration between the regulator and government, industry, academics, and community stakeholders.
It will oversee consultation and collaboration on how hydrogen can continue to be developed to help aviation achieve net zero.
Sophie O’Sullivan, Head of Future Safety & Innovation at the CAA, said: “Introducing hydrogen as an aviation fuel is a critical step towards of zero emission flight in the future.”
“This is why we’ve been working to encourage development and safe experimentation in the sector.”
Applications for H2Wo open will close 5 September 2024.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority launched the Hydrogen Challenge in 2023, funded by a grant of £939,150 via the Regulators’ Pioneer Fund.
