ATI FlyZero project finds green liquid hydrogen most viable zero-carbon emission fuel for aircraft

Green Car Congress

Funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the project FlyZero began in early 2021 as an intensive research project investigating zero-carbon emission commercial flight. Other major conclusions are: Technology acceleration is key as industry and aviation can only afford one fleet refresh between now and 2050.

Alcoa and Phinergy enter joint development agreement for high energy-density aluminum-air batteries

Green Car Congress

However, parasitic hydrogen evolution caused by anode corrosion during the discharge process is a well-known obstacle to commercialization of such a system, because it not only causes additional consumption of the anode material but also increases the ohmic loss in the cell. kWh/kg of Al—second only to the Li-air battery (13.0
