Haskel, Protium, and Nel Hydrogen have partnered to collaborate on Project HEART to enable the acceleration of hydrogen-powered aircraft at UK airports.
Part funded by the UK Research and Innovation Future Flight Challenge, the project will facilitate end-to-end hydrogen infrastructure capable of safely fuelling hydrogen aircraft and showcase the feasibility of green hydrogen technology within the aviation sector.
Haskel will integrate its ultra-efficient hydrogen compression system with a Nel electrolyser – a UK deployment record of the largest molecule distribution at scale equipment for Nel – delivering hydrogen to power a fuel cell-powered aircraft during trials.
Project HEART will initially focus on regional airports, developing a refuelling solution catering to 9-19 passenger aircrafts and a range of 500 miles.
