A demonstration showcasing how hydrogen can support the decarbonisation of ground handling operations has taken place at Exeter Airport.
The live demonstration involved a hydrogen-powered baggage tug, pushback tug and ground power unit. It is the first time in the UK – and possibly the world – that multiple pieces of hydrogen-powered equipment have been used simultaneously for a commercial air transport operational aircraft and using ‘green’ hydrogen from renewable energy sources.
A pioneering demonstration showcasing how hydrogen can support the decarbonisation of airport ground operations has taken place at Exeter Airport – marking an important step towards achieving the first ‘zero-carbon turn’ of a commercial aircraft.
