據氫能源新聞5月11日消息稱,隨著燃料在經濟上變得更加可行,氫動力航空預計將起飛。
Avia Solutions董事會主席Gediminas Ziemelis預計,到2040年,氫燃料飛機市場將達到約1740億美元。
隨著人們對這種可再生能源興趣的擴大,其生產價格也開始下滑。
氫氣飛機的前景并不是什么新鮮事。事實上,它已經存在了幾十年。然而,氫氣生產成本高也阻礙了它的發展。高昂的成本使得它不太可能得到廣泛的使用。盡管如此,隨著世界轉向可再生能源,既追求碳中和,又在大流行后恢復經濟,生產氫燃料的成本已經開始下降。
隨著氫氣基礎設施的不斷發展,其在航空領域的應用在經濟上變得越來越可行。正是出于這個原因,Avia Solutions預測市場將在短期內開始看到實質性的增長。Ziemelis預計,到2030年,該市場的價值將達到270億美元,到2040年,這一數字將飆升至1740億美元。
事實上,波音公司早在2008年就試駕了第一架氫動力飛機。最近,ZeroAviea去年駕駛了第一架氫動力商用飛機。
在飛機上使用這種燃料時,有兩種不同的應用方式第一種是作為燃料電池的燃料來源。這樣就產生了能量,為發動機提供動力。第二種使用方式是作為一種改型飛機發動機的直接燃料來源。
Airbus一直在研究這兩種選擇,以進入氫燃料飛機市場。它提出了使用氫氣的三種不同的改進飛機模型。該公司承諾,到2035年,第一架氫動力飛機將投入使用。

Hydrogen aircraft market to reach $174 billion by 2040
H2-powered aviation is projected to take off as the fuel becomes more economically viable.
Avia Solutions Chairman of the Board Gediminas Ziemelis has projected that the hydrogen aircraft market will have reached about $174 billion by 2040.
As interest in this renewable energy has broadened, the price of its production has started to slide.
The promise of hydrogen aircraft isn’t something new. In fact, it has been in existence for decades. However, it has also ben held back with the high H2 production costs. Those high costs have made it unlikely to reach widespread use. That said, as the world now shifts toward renewable energy sources both in pursuit of carbon neutrality and to kickstart economies following the pandemic, the cost of producing hydrogen fuel has started to decline.
As a result of the growing H2 infrastructure, its use for aviation is becoming increasingly economically viable. It is for this reason that Avia Solutions predicts that the market will start to see substantial growth in the near term. Ziemelis anticipated that the market’s value will have already reached $27 billion by 2030, and that this figure will have skyrocketed to $174 billion by 2040.
In fact, Boeing flew the first hydrogen powered plane back in 2008. More recently, ZeroAviea flew the first H2-powered commercial plane last year.
When it comes to using this fuel for planes, there are two different ways that it can be applied. The first is as a source of fuel for fuel cells. In this way, energy is generated for powering the engine. The second way in which it can be used is as a direct fuel source for a form of modified plane engine.
Airbus has been examining both of these options for its hydrogen aircraft market entry. It presented three different modified aircraft models that would use H2. The company has committed to having its first H2-powered plane in service by 2035.?
