On-demand webinar – Future of flight: hydrogen in civil aviation
29/07/2024
On Tuesday 16 July 2024, we hosted a webinar on the theme of hydrogen in civil aviation. Hydrogen harbours huge potential for the aviation industry, with the scope to achieve global decarbonisation targets and create a sustainable future. Here at Cranfield University, we are at the forefront of hydrogen research in the UK, via the development of the first major hydrogen technology hub to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen as a net zero aviation fuel: the Cranfield Hydrogen Integration Incubator (CH2i).
