Batteries & Biofuels, Not Aluminum & Hydrogen, Will Fuel The Airlines Of The Near Future…
Hydrogen is a very expensive alternative, so other options that are less expensive and have equal or better characteristics are going to dominate.

United Airlines cuts to the rapid decarbonization mustard: tree planting offsets good, zero emission electric airplanes gooder.
Green hydrogen stakeholders, such as the Bill Gates outfit Breakthrough Energy Ventures, are eager to see the new ZeroAvia hydrogen fuel cell airplane get off the ground.
There’s a $120 billion global hydrogen industry that we have to kick the fossil fuel companies out of. 3-4% of global petroleum use is for long-haul shipping and aviation. About 8% of CO2e emissions globally are from steelmaking. That’s more than enough for CleanTechnica to report on. Boosterism for hydrogen outside of those spaces is just perpetuating the wrong industry.
Long-haul aviation is a hard global warming nut to crack, and assessing methanol as a potential nutcracker shows why.
Flight-shaming begone: US aircraft startup ZeroAvia ramps up plans for zero emission green hydrogen fuel cell flight.
Tidal wave of green hydrogen investment spoils Trump oil and gas legacy — and wait, whatever happened to all your coal jobs?
ZeroAvia recently completed the first sustained flight of a 6 passenger aircraft powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.
2019 is drawing to a close, so let’s take stock of a decade of green mobility progress that started with a handful of startups a decade ago.
The aviation startup ZeroAvia has received a £2.7m (US$3.3 million) grant from the UK government. The funds will be used to support continued development of fuel cell/electric propulsion technology to reduce aviation CO2 emissions. The company was founded in 2017 by Val Miftakhov, who is also the current CEO. He answered some questions for CleanTechnica about the new grant.
