+ | Decarbonising energy across many sectors is a global priority, none more so than in aviation. Hydrogen will play a key role in enabling UK aviation to achieve its net zero carbon commitment by 2050. This study assesses the growing role that hydrogen will play in the future of aviation across South Wales and South West England. | ||

+ | 2025-2030 | ||
+ | First generation hydrogen-fuelled aircraft in which conventional turbo-prop aircraft are converted to hydrogen fuel cell power trains are introduced to revenue service. SAF mandates of c. 10% for conventional aircraft. Local production may be necessary for early adopter flights and for SAF. In South West England and South Wales, LanzaTech will provide most of the local production of SAF for aviation at scale. Direct hydrogen demand in the region is less than 1,000 tonnes per year. | ||

+ | 2035-2045 | ||
+ | Larger, second-generation aircraft, designed from the outset to be hydrogen fuelled, that use jet turbines (or hybrid configurations) are introduced to revenue service. SAF mandates of c. 30%, with additional requirements for advanced SAF types (e.g. PtL) for conventional aircraft. In South West England and South Wales, Bristol Airport and its resident | ||
