Airbus and ORLEN Advance Hydrogen and Synthetic Fuel Technologies for Aviation by 2040

HYDROGENSYNTHETIC FUELSFUEL CELL

Airbus, in collaboration with RWTH Aachen and DLR, has initiated the GENtwoPRO project to develop a scalable LT-PEM fuel cell system for aviation, targeting the first hydrogen passenger aircraft by 2040. This project is part of Airbus's ZeroE program, which aims for emissions-free aviation.

Concurrently, ORLEN invests in OXCCU to produce synthetic e-SAF from green hydrogen and CO₂, aligning with EU regulations to achieve a 6% SAF share by 2030. The aviation industry is undergoing a major transformation, with hydrogen technologies and sustainable fuels emerging as key components in reducing CO₂ emissions.
