Europe-based major aerospace company Airbus has partnered with five French companies and agencies to launch a global ‘call for expressions of interest’ in opportunities presented by the adoption of hydrogen as a fuel source by aviation and airports. In addition to Airbus, the consortium is composed of airline group Air France-KLM, airports company Groupe ADP (previously, Aéroports de Paris), the Paris Region (somewhat akin to a South African province) and the Choose Paris Region investment promotion agency. The aim of the initiative, which is unprecedented, is to help decarbonise air transport. It is in line with France’s energy transition strategy and has the support of the European Commission. More specifically, it seeks to transform Paris airports into ‘hydrogen hubs’.
