Aviation’s climate impact, often underestimated at 2–3% of global CO₂ emissions, surges to 10% or higher when non-CO₂ effects like contrails and nitrogen oxides are factored in. As sectors such as road transport electrify, aviation’s emissions footprint risks becoming a glaring outlier. Hydrogen-powered flight has emerged as a contender to address this gap, but its path to scalability is fraught with thermodynamic, infrastructural, and economic challenges. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW The Battery Barrier and Hydrogen’s Narrow Window Single-aisle aircraft, responsible for 66% of aviation’s CO₂ emissions, operate primarily on short- to medium-haul routes under 2,000 km. While batteries are often…

Doosan Fuel Cell and Air Products have recently terminated projects collectively valued at over $1 billion, underscoring the complex interplay of regulatory frameworks and market dynamics influencing the hydrogen economy.​ Doosan Fuel Cell, a prominent South Korean manufacturer, has canceled three hydrogen fuel cell supply contracts totaling approximately $560 million. Among these, a notable 110 MW supply agreement with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Corporation, Kumho Technology, and LS Electric was discontinued due to prolonged delays in securing necessary permits. Doosan attributed this decision to evolving industry conditions, particularly the introduction of the Clean Hydrogen Power Generation Obligation System (CHPS)…

The hydrogen economy has been gaining significant attention in recent years, with many experts and industry leaders touting it as a game-changer in the transition to a low-carbon economy with many others questioning its value and criticizing the hydrogen industry for overpromising and underdelivering on its potential; citing some projects for failing to meet expectations. However, the question remains: is hydrogen a hype, a hope, or a slow burner? Introduction Hydrogen is the topic of the day. The much heralded global ‘Hydrogen Revolution’has prompted many politicians from across the world to follow the hydrogenbandwagon and to follow suit without questioning…
