Hydrogen: Fuel of the Future
1530–1700 hrs | Grand Hall A-C
The industry commitment to net zero 2050 comes with many challenges, not least of which is finding fuels that provide energy density comparable to current aviation fuels. Hydrogen has many of the characteristics required but comes with another set of challenges and benefits. Industry advocates will address the challenges and their vision of hydrogen as a fuel for the next generation of aviation.
