ZeroAvia, a US-based start-up, is setting up a manufacturing centre near Glasgow Airport to develop and manufacture hydrogen fuel cells for small electric planes, with operations expected to start by 2028 and create 350 jobs. The company has already conducted successful test flights in England using a 19-seater aircraft powered by a hydrogen/electric system. Both the UK and Scottish governments, along with Scotland's National Investment Bank, have shown support for ZeroAvia with significant financial backing. The new Hydrogen Centre of Excellence will be located in Renfrewshire and will focus on hydrogen fuel cell development, while the electric motors will be built in the US. The aviation industry's shift towards hydrogen propulsion is crucial for reducing carbon emissions, and ZeroAvia's advancements in this area indicate a positive trajectory. Scotland's emphasis on green hydrogen production aligns with ZeroAvia's vision, showcasing the region's potential to lead in sustainable aviation solutions.
