Sergey Kiselev is the Head of Europe of the sustainable aviation company ZeroAvia. ZeroAvia is working on the first practical zero-emission aviation powertrain fuelled by hydrogen. Even though CO2 emissions of the aviation industry currently only account for 2-3% of the global output, passenger numbers are expected to grow continuously for the next 30 years, such that solutions transitioning to emission-free powertrains need to be formulated, tested and certified now.

ZeroAvia has developed a new powertrain that couples hydrogen gas with a fuel cell to drive an electric motor that spins a propeller. This zero emission powertrain currently promises to deliver a 300 mile zero-emission range in a ten-seater fixed-wing aircraft. One of the great things about ZeroAvia is that the company is taking advantage of the economics of renewable energy sources. Due to the intermittency of solar and wind energy, there are times when the electric output from renewable sources far outstrips demand and is therefore cheaply available. It is in these times of high supply that ZeroAvia can split water into its constituents, oxygen and hydrogen. In this episode of the aerospace engineering podcast, Sergey and I talk about:

how ZeroAvia got started and what the company is trying to achieve

ZeroAvia’s vision of emission-free regional travel

the ZeroAvia powertrain

and much, much more.

Electric Vehicles have seen a dramatic rise in popularity in this country, and would seem to be light years ahead of hydrogen vehicles which are yet to hit the road because of a lack of refueling infrastructure. However, some industry leaders, like Hyundai and Toyota believe hydrogen has a significant role to play in decarbonising the transport fleet. Meanwhile, in September the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment put out a green paper on the vision for hydrogen in this country. Dr Richard Meade joins Kathryn Ryan to discuss the relative merits of rechargeable electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Dr Meade is Principal Economist at Cognitus Economic Insight, a Senior Research Fellow in Economics at Auckland University of Technology, and Vice President Auckland of the Law & Economics Association of New Zealand.

Gerard and Laurent invite Paul Martin to review the various development routes for Hydrogen, the forever “fuel of tomorrow”. Behind the smoke and mirrors of the current H2 PR blitz, are powerful incumbent industries looking for new markets.
Unfortunately the laws of thermodynamics are not playing in favor of Hydrogen.
The debate explores how Hydrogen is produced, and what are its best uses.
Can "Green" Hydrogen ever compete with "Blue" Hydrogen?
Is there any possible scaling of Electrolysers to reduce their price?
As for its uses, Hydrogen for Ammonia, for Transportation and others are much trumpeted options. But can Hydrogen be cheaply moved?
And what should government do? Subsidise or Tax?
During an in-depth episode, we debunk myths and start providing sensible answers from an environmental and economic stand point.

On this weeks episode the team are talking all things hydrogen with Maryline Daviaud Lewett, Director of Business Development for Transformative Technologies at Black & Veatch (B&V). On the show we discuss the role that Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) firms are playing in developing hydrogen and fuel cell infrastructure, as well as discussing the unique aspects of developing projects in North America. As the leading EPC for hydrogen refuelling stations in North America and a wealth of experience across electric vehicle charging and hydrogen, Maryline brings a uniquely well rounded perspective to the discussion and shares a wealth of insights for how the market may evolve. All this and more on the show!

There is an extensive wealth of reports available on hydrogen today. But here are a few good primers to get you started:

 The IEA is a great initial starting point. Their latest report on “The Future of Hydrogen” is the best regarded report in this field, while their website has a wealth of information on projects, deployments and cost considerations: https://www.iea.org/topics/hydrogen/resources/

 Another excellent overview of hydrogen projects, largely in the European context, comes from the World Energy Councils “New Hydrogen Economy: Hype or Hope” report. https://www.worldenergy.org/publications/2019/world-energy-insights-brief-new-hydrogen-economy-hype-or-hope/

 Perhaps the most famous report in recent times on hydrogen is the 2017 Hydrogen Council report “Hydrogen scaling up”, which is a vision document on how large the potential hydrogen market could be: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=2ahUKEwiklp2sp8jjAhVNSRUIHWk5AQYQFjABegQIARAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhydrogencouncil.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F11%2FHydrogen-scaling-up-Hydrogen-Council.pdf&usg=AOvVaw20OMo_avhu5Xmmc-gj-QXk

 To see the Hydrogen value proposition for the hard to abate sectors see the Energy Transition Commission’s Mission Possible report, 2 page summary link here:
