How far away are we from hydrogen-powered commercial aviation?
While there are lots of engines running hydrogen in society, we are still ‘someway off’ using hydrogen to power commercial aviation. IG’s Jeremy Naylor caught up with Dr Naveed Akhtar, a specialist in hydrogen-powered transport. He set up IHAC, the International Hydrogen Aviation Conference, and is the chief technology officer of Oracle Power, a London-listed ‘green energy’ developer. Dr Akhtar talks about the problems with applying hydrogen to transportation and trying to find economies of scale that are not there yet in ways of producing hydrogen ‘on-the-go’.
