<\/a> Could short-haul flights run on hydrogen? <\/strong>Rolls-Royce is testing the use of hydrogen rather than conventional aviation fuels to power jet aircraft, according to a company<\/a>statement<\/a> yesterday. The tests \u2014 carried out in partnership with budget airline easyJet<\/a> \u2014 aim to test whether a jet engine can be operated to run completely on hydrogen fuel in a bid to cut the aviation industry\u2019s emissions.<\/p>\n

Close, but no cigar: <\/strong>The results so far show \u200b\u200bthat jet engines using hydrogen can be started up and run at low speeds, the news outlet reports. Liquid hydrogen \u2014 which needs to be cooled to -253\u00b0C \u2014 requires four times as much space as the traditional aviation fuel used to fly the same distance. It must be stored as liquid and then turned back into gas before being burned as fuel. The aviation industry would need significantly more research and investment to develop an entirely new engine \u2014 as well as a complete redesign of the aircraft \u2014 to accommodate the use of hydrogen fuel.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>The International Civil Aviation Organization recently agreed<\/a> to a long-term global goal to make the industry net zero by 2050, with some 184 countries \u2014 including almost all of MENA \u2014 agreeing to the goal. This would require slashing emissions, accelerating the adoption of new aircraft technologies, streamlining flight operations, and figuring out the role of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs).<\/p>\n

GCC airlines have already hopped on the SAF wagon: <\/strong>Etihad Airways completed its first<\/a>SAF-fueled<\/a> flight from Tokyo last month. The airline is looking to slash its 2019 emissions by 50% by 2035 and achieve net zero by 2050, the company\u2019s VP of procurement and supply chain said, according to WAM<\/a>. Qatar Airways announced the purchase of 5 mn gallons a year<\/a> of SAF over the next five years from US-based Gevo<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

If Rolls-Royce succeeds, this could be great news for MENA:<\/strong> The region has been ablaze with green hydrogen news as of late, including Egypt signing<\/a> nine framework agreements with international power companies at COP27 to establish green hydrogen and ammonia plants to collectively produce<\/a> up to 7.6 mn tons of green ammonia and 2.7 mn tons of hydrogen a year. Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund also inked an agreement<\/a> last week with five South Korean firms to build a hydrogen and ammonia plant with a generational capacity of 1.2 mn tons annually.<\/p>\n
