A coalition involving Airbus, Air France-KLM, Groupe ADP, and the Choose Paris Region development agency has selected 11 applicants to participate in an effort to set up a network of hydrogen hubs at airports to fuel future hydrogen-powered aircraft. The 11 were selected from 124 applicants that responded to the coalition’s call in February for expression of interest in the H2 Hub Airport initiative.

The groups called the development of hydrogen airport ecosystems an essential building block to pave the way for Airbus’s plans for bringing hydrogen aircraft to market by 2035. In addition, such a network can promote the use of hydrogen on the ground, they said.
