据氢能源新闻5月11日消息称,随着燃料在经济上变得更加可行,氢动力航空预计将起飞。
Avia Solutions董事会主席Gediminas Ziemelis预计,到2040年,氢燃料飞机市场将达到约1740亿美元。
随着人们对这种可再生能源兴趣的扩大,其生产价格也开始下滑。
氢气飞机的前景并不是什么新鲜事。事实上,它已经存在了几十年。然而,氢气生产成本高也阻碍了它的发展。高昂的成本使得它不太可能得到广泛的使用。尽管如此,随着世界转向可再生能源,既追求碳中和,又在大流行后恢复经济,生产氢燃料的成本已经开始下降。
随着氢气基础设施的不断发展,其在航空领域的应用在经济上变得越来越可行。正是出于这个原因,Avia Solutions预测市场将在短期内开始看到实质性的增长。Ziemelis预计,到2030年,该市场的价值将达到270亿美元,到2040年,这一数字将飙升至1740亿美元。
事实上,波音公司早在2008年就试驾了第一架氢动力飞机。最近,ZeroAviea去年驾驶了第一架氢动力商用飞机。
在飞机上使用这种燃料时,有两种不同的应用方式第一种是作为燃料电池的燃料来源。这样就产生了能量,为发动机提供动力。第二种使用方式是作为一种改型飞机发动机的直接燃料来源。
Airbus一直在研究这两种选择,以进入氢燃料飞机市场。它提出了使用氢气的三种不同的改进飞机模型。该公司承诺,到2035年,第一架氢动力飞机将投入使用。

Hydrogen aircraft market to reach $174 billion by 2040
H2-powered aviation is projected to take off as the fuel becomes more economically viable.
Avia Solutions Chairman of the Board Gediminas Ziemelis has projected that the hydrogen aircraft market will have reached about $174 billion by 2040.
As interest in this renewable energy has broadened, the price of its production has started to slide.
The promise of hydrogen aircraft isn’t something new. In fact, it has been in existence for decades. However, it has also ben held back with the high H2 production costs. Those high costs have made it unlikely to reach widespread use. That said, as the world now shifts toward renewable energy sources both in pursuit of carbon neutrality and to kickstart economies following the pandemic, the cost of producing hydrogen fuel has started to decline.
As a result of the growing H2 infrastructure, its use for aviation is becoming increasingly economically viable. It is for this reason that Avia Solutions predicts that the market will start to see substantial growth in the near term. Ziemelis anticipated that the market’s value will have already reached $27 billion by 2030, and that this figure will have skyrocketed to $174 billion by 2040.
In fact, Boeing flew the first hydrogen powered plane back in 2008. More recently, ZeroAviea flew the first H2-powered commercial plane last year.
When it comes to using this fuel for planes, there are two different ways that it can be applied. The first is as a source of fuel for fuel cells. In this way, energy is generated for powering the engine. The second way in which it can be used is as a direct fuel source for a form of modified plane engine.
Airbus has been examining both of these options for its hydrogen aircraft market entry. It presented three different modified aircraft models that would use H2. The company has committed to having its first H2-powered plane in service by 2035.
