The pivotal role of aviation infrastructure in achieving jet zero: a deep dive into the challenges and opportunities

As the jet zero transition takes off, we know that hydrogen infrastructure has a key role to play in the decarbonisation of the aviation sector. With the first trans-Atlantic flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel recently, and emerging innovators making huge strides in developing hydrogen-electric aircraft, it is an exciting time for the sector.

However, the aviation industry is just waking up to the scale of the challenge, and what is required to match the pace of changes in aircraft and propulsion design.

While the hurdles are real and substantial, the case for transitioning the aviation sector away from fossil fuels is compelling. With industry and government frameworks in place, and alternative fuels like hydrogen demonstrating promising potential, the path to jet zero is clear and navigable.
