Plug Power Inc. said it would work with Airbus to study the
feasibility of bringing green hydrogen to future aircraft and
airports.
Airbus and Plug Power will work on a joint study and roadmap
that could bring green hydrogen to aircraft and airports, Plug
Power said.
Plug Power shares rose 7% to $31.90 premarket.
Plug Power will create deployment scenarios for green hydrogen
infrastructure at airports, while Airbus will offer insight on
hydrogen aircraft characteristics.
Plug Power and Airbus will select a U.S. airport to serve as the
first "Hydrogen Hub" pilot airport in North America, serving as a
case study for hydrogen infrastructure scale-up at other
airports.
The companies will also consider setting up a range of joint
projects covering the deployment of green hydrogen infrastructure
for aviation, at scale.
Airbus hopes to bring zero-emission aircraft to market by
2035.
"We at Airbus see huge potential for green hydrogen to power our
future zero-emission aircraft," said Glenn Llewellyn, Airbus
vice-president for zero-emission aircraft.
