Putting fuel cells at the heart of hydrogen-powered aviation
Airbus’ ZEROe project is developing a hydrogen-powered aircraft that uses hydrogen fuel cells as a power source
As there are no commercially available hydrogen fuel cells that meet aviation’s strict safety and weight restrictions
we have founded a partnership to create them ourselves
Airbus Aerostack GmbH was founded in 2020 as a joint venture between Airbus and automotive supplier ElringKlinger
This collaboration is focused on researching
developing and assembling the fuel cell stacks that will potentially power a ZEROe aircraft
In addition to the power-generating fuel cells
the propulsion system includes an electrically driven motor and propeller
Hydrogen fuel cells convert energy stored in hydrogen and oxygen molecules into electricity through an electrochemical reaction
and unlike batteries they can operate continuously
as long as a constant supply of hydrogen is ensured
they do not create any CO2 or NOx emissions: the only byproducts of the reaction are heat and water
They can also be connected to other fuel cells to create a fuel cell stack
