ZeroAvia Cuts Hydrogen Production Costs with AI Software
Real-world tests demonstrated a 20% cost reduction
ZeroAvia Dornier 228
ZeroAvia is developing a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain for regional airliners such as the 19-seat Dornier 228, which the California-based company used for an initial flight test campaign at Cotswold Airport in the UK.

ZeroAvia claims it can slash the cost of hydrogen production by at least 20% using software powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

The hydrogen propulsion systems and ground infrastructure developer this week introduced software that it says reduces the levelized cost of a hydrogen production operation by at least 20% using the same kind of algorithms that manage electrical microgrids running on renewable energy. (Levelized cost refers to the average net cost of energy generation over the lifetime of a production plant.)
