UK Civil Aviation Authority launches hydrogen

The UK Civil Aviation Authority has launched a challenge for the aviation industry to help leverage the potential of hydrogen as a zero-carbon emission aviation fuel. 

Hydrogen as an aviation fuel is at an early stage of development. The sector does not yet have a comprehensive understanding of the risks to aviation safety and the right pathway to certification.   

The UK Civil Aviation Authority will address these issues through its Hydrogen Challenge, which will use a Regulatory Sandbox approach to make sure regulation is fit for purpose and reduce challenges associated with the introduction of hydrogen fuel. 

Join us in an exclusive conversation with Richard Vilton, CEO and Co-founder of Emu Analytics, a dynamic UK-based tech scale-up, as we delve into the fascinating world of digital twin software. Discover how this groundbreaking technology is revolutionising airport, airline, and ground handling operations.

The regulator’s challenge will facilitate collaboration with industry and academia to improve understanding of hydrogen-related risks in aviation, identify gaps in policies, and propose new recommendations to develop net-zero policies. 

This allows for increased regulatory readiness, reduced risk of failure, and improved collaboration with the UK Civil Aviation Authority. 

Sophie O’Sullivan, Head of Future Safety & Innovation at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, said: 

“The project will help facilitate efforts to move towards a net-zero aviation sector by supporting the industry to explore how feasible the introduction of hydrogen is and how we can make sure regulation is fit for purpose. 

“Enabling innovation while maintaining safety is a key part of our work and this challenge is a clear example of our collaborative approach to shaping the future of aviation.”
