SINGAPORE, Nov 11 (AFP): The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Airbus will launch a feasibility study on hyrdrogen-powered aircraft operations in early 2022, as part of a wider collaboration on sustainable aviation.
The feasibility study will run for two years, says the CAAS, which inked a memorandum of understanding on sustainable aviation with the European airframer on 18 November.
It will explore the concept of an airport hydrogen hub, as well as the infrastructure requirements for hydrogen-powered aircraft in the future.
"These include the production, storage and distribution of hydrogen, aircraft ground services, logistical equipment, and refuelling systems," the authority states.
As part of the MOU, both parties will also examine the demand and production supply of alternative aviation fuels and how these will contribute to decarbonisation efforts, as well as explore research and development opportunities for disruptive technologies and airport infrastructure.
