• Hamburg Airport on the Path to Sustainability

  Send us a textIn our latest podcast, we speak with Julian Klaaßen, an environmental engineer at Hamburg Airport, about the ambitious plans to achieve fossil-free operations by 2035. Here are some highlights: Net Zero 2035: Since 2009, the airport has been working on reducing emissions and has already cut 80% of them. The goal is to be completely fossil-free by 2035.A new wind park: The airport plans to build its own wind park to generate 100% green electricity, investing €70m Green Hydrogen Corridor with Rotterdam: Since 2013, the airport has been testing hydrogen technologies and plans to expand them. A notable highlight: the planned demonstration flight route between Hamburg and Rotterdam with a hydrogen-powered aircraftBaltic Sea Region Project: Julian explains how this EU-funded project expands expertise across Europe preparing airports for hydrogen technologiesMany thanks to Julian for the great conversation!Contact the Hamburg Aviation Podcast team here Find us on LinkedIn

• Hydrogen Aviation: The Chances, The Costs, The Future

  Send us a textWhat links Airbus' ZEROe project with Germany's salt caverns? Hydrogen. A promising carbon-free fuel, it's an attractive energy vector for Hamburg's future energy needs. Industry and the City of Hamburg are investing heavily in hydrogen infrastructure and research. Moving from fossil aviation fuels to hydrogen is going to be a complex, costly business. According to a recent study by Transport and Environment, the price tag of transitioning aviation to hydrogen in the EU could be up to €300bn. Too expensive? As one of the contributors to the study, Lukas Sens of the Technical University of Hamburg, notes, compare that to the €161bn net income of Saudi Aramco in 2022. And the same study estimates that up to 65% of intra-EU aviation could be fuelled by hydrogen by 2050. And that the cost per passenger flying on a hydrogen-fuelled plane might be only 7% more than using fossil kerosene. On this episode of Hamburg Aviation Green, Lucas gives us a deep dive on the techno-economic issues surrounding hydrogen adoption in aviation. We talk about carbon pricing and trading, ticket prices on LH2-fuelled planes, sector coupling and energy sovereignty, to name just a few.But what about the salt caverns? They could reduce the cost of green hydrogen by up to 50%. How? Listen in and find out.This episode is the last in this season of Hamburg Aviation Green.

• Hydrogen Aviation Lab: Pushing forward H2 adoption in Hamburg

  Send us a textH2 is on a roll: Hydrogen seems to be gaining traction as a fuel in aviation, at least in Europe. From successful test flights by ZeroAvia to recent updates to Germany's national hydrogen strategy - which doubled the production target for green H2 by 2030 - the pieces of the puzzle are slowly coming together. More and more airports are collaborating on H2 infrastructure in the 2030s. But what problems still need to be solved about refuelling passenger aircraft with liquid hydrogen, a cryogenic fuel, at a commercial airport?During the dark days of the Covid-19 pandemic, the City of Hamburg announced funding for the Hydrogen Aviation Lab, a real-world test facility that uses a decomissioned A320 to answer these questions. With us to talk about the lab and the valuable data it will supply to enable H2 adoption in Hamburg is Hansi Aringhoff, Head of Corporate Innovation at Lufthansa Technik. Headquartered in Hamburg, the company is part of a consortium including DLR German Aerospace Center, ZAL Centre for Aeronautical Research and Hamburg Airport that us running the test bed until 2024.More about Hydrogen Aviation LabMore about Lufthansa TechnikLinkedIn Profile Hansi AringhoffGet in touch with us via email:[email protected] the Hamburg Aviation Podcast team here Find us on LinkedIn

• Cutting through the hype around sustainable aviation

  Send us a textWhat will be the single most important technology in decarbonising aviation over the next 20-30 years? Dr Ivan Terekhov, Director of Research Intelligence at Lufthansa Innovation Hub has the answer. In this podcast he talks - among many other fascinating topics - about his team's recent hype cycle analysis and what it reveals about technology readiness for decarbonising aviation. A long-time Hamburg resident who has studied and worked in the city for many years including stints at German Aerospace Center and the Technical University of Hamburg, Dr Terekhov talked to us about the pitfalls of statistics in communicating about emissions, about realistic expectations, Greta Thunberg, offsets, Gen Z, grey water re-use, making statistics sexy and a whole lot of other interesting stuff. Here's Ivan's leatest research on the Gartner hype cycle.Find out more about tnmt here.Dr Ivan Terekhov on LinkedInThis podcast is produced by Hamburg Aviation, the industry network for Hamburg's aviation cluster.Contact the Hamburg Aviation Podcast team here Find us on LinkedIn
