YVR revealed this week it’s partnering on a feasibility study with Toronto Pearson International Airport, Montréal-Trudeau International Airport, aerospace giant Airbus SE and hydrogen-electric aircraft developer ZeroAvia.
It is the first time a study of this magnitude has taken place in Canada to pioneer hydrogen for the aviation sector, according to Tuesday’s (May 21) announcement.
“We know when it comes to climate change, aviation isn’t the enemy, carbon is,” YVR president and CEO Tamara Vrooman said in a statement.
“The collaboration between Airbus, ZeroAvia and the three biggest airports in Canada will help identify the changes required in our industry and supporting ecosystem to meet carbon reduction goals.”
The study is expected to provide a better understanding of hydrogen aircraft concepts and operations, as well as supply, infrastructure and refuelling needs at airports, as part of an effort to develop the hydrogen aviation ecosystem across the country, according to the announcement.
