ZeroAvia, an advanced propulsion developer, is set to establish a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain manufacturing plant in central Scotland near Glasgow airport. The plant, located at the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) site, will function as ZeroAvia's Hydrogen Centre of Excellence. With a focus on manufacturing high-temperature PEM (HTPEM) fuel cell stacks and supporting systems, the facility will support the company's efforts towards zero-emission flights. The project receives substantial financial backing, including a £9 million grant from Scottish Enterprise and investments totaling £52 million from the Scottish National Investment Bank and the UK National Wealth Fund. ZeroAvia anticipates the creation of 350 jobs through this initiative. The company also revealed orders worth $10 billion for its engines and components from airlines and OEMs. The founder and CEO of ZeroAvia, Val Miftakhov, praises Scotland's aerospace expertise, strong engineering skills, growing hydrogen industry, and clear aviation strategy. He sees these as advantageous for ZeroAvia's goals of revolutionizing aviation with cleaner and economically feasible flights. ZeroAvia's propulsion center in Everett, Washington State, will focus on building electric motors and power electronics. The ZA600 powertrain, with a power output of 600kW, is currently seeking certification from the UK Civil Aviation Authority, aiming for service entry by late 2026 or early 2027. The company has also secured RVL Aviation as the launch customer for its system, intended for a modified Cessna Caravan cargo aircraft. Future plans include the development of the ZA2000 system for regional aircraft with 40-80 seats, leveraging the HTPEM technology that will be manufactured at the Scottish site. ZeroAvia's vision aligns with the industry's shift towards decarbonization and zero-emission flight initiatives, marking a significant step towards a more sustainable aviation sector.
