Singapore Banks on Sustainable Future
Airbus and Singapore's airport and aviation authority will study how to design hydrogen fuel infrastructure at complex airports.

Airbus signed an agreement at the Singapore Airshow yesterday with the host country's aviation and airport authorities to develop a “hydrogen hub” at Changi Airport. Although sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) will help satisfy short-term needs, only the use of hydrogen as a fuel will allow for the industry to meet 2050 net zero emissions targets, according to Airbus chief technology officer Sabine Klauke.

The Airbus CTO signed the agreement with Han Kok Juan, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) director-general; Yam Kum Weng, Changi Airport group executive v-p, airport development; and John Panikar, Asia-Pacific executive v-p of gas and engineering company Linde.
