Initiative Research on Core-technologies of Hydrogen Aircraft for Realization of Carbon Neutral Society

Abstract

The interest in reduction of CO2 emission from air transport has been increasing for the global green sky in the future carbon neutral society. It is strongly expected that the hydrogen fuel that does not generate CO2 will be used in the aircraft. The innovative core-technology that is necessary for the realization of hydrogen aircraft is presented in this paper. Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. has been started the research under the Green Innovation Fund of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.
