According to the World Economic Forum, Hydrogen-powered aviation is poised to play a critical role in achieving Net Zero by 2050, with up to 38% of aircraft expected to run on hydrogen or electricity. However, the infrastructure needed is vast — requiring up to 1,700 TWh of clean energy and investments nearing $1.7 trillion.
From renewable energy generation and hydrogen production to pipelines, storage, and refuelling systems, the aerospace sector faces a significant challenge. This session will explore the practical steps, collaborative strategies, and policy support needed to scale hydrogen infrastructure. By tackling these challenges now, the industry can turn hydrogen into a catalyst for sustainable, Net Zero aviation.
