The aviation industry is a critical component of global transportation, driving economic growth and employment opportunities. While its expansion is remarkable, the industry's carbon dioxide emissions pose a significant environmental challenge, with a focus on achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. To tackle this, the industry is exploring innovative solutions, especially in the realm of decarbonization. Hydrogen has emerged as a promising alternative with its clean combustion and high energy density, offering a potential pathway to emission-free aviation. Liquid hydrogen storage systems have been designed by researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, with support from NASA, to address the challenges of storing and utilizing hydrogen efficiently. These systems aim to facilitate the industry's transition towards zero-emission operations. The Integrated Zero Emission Aviation (IZEA) initiative, which includes partnerships with leading industry players like Raytheon Technologies and Boeing, is actively exploring hybrid-electric propulsion systems that integrate liquid hydrogen. This collaborative effort is focused on reducing carbon and contrail emissions, aligning with the aviation industry's goal of achieving sustainable and environmentally friendly operations. The study published in Applied Energy outlines a comprehensive approach to leveraging liquid hydrogen for aviation, emphasizing energy efficiency and emission reduction. With a multidisciplinary team of researchers and industry partners, the aviation sector is moving towards a greener future through innovative technologies and sustainable practices.
