Birmingham Airport (BHX) will join zero-emission aviation developer ZeroAvia’s project to develop and test a mobile liquid hydrogen refuelling vehicle to supply commercial hydrogen-electric aircraft and ground equipment, as well as generate power on-site. The Hydrogen Propulsion Refuelling Infrastructure Mobile Ecosystem (HyPRIME) project also includes zero-emission energy companies ULEMCO and GeoPura, as well as Bristol Airport. On Feb. 20, 2023, ZeroAvia and Birmingham Airport announced a long-term partnership to develop on-airfield hydrogen refuelling capabilities and zero-emission passenger flights. Tom Denton, head of sustainability at Birmingham Airport, said:“Hydrogen electric aircraft are progressing quickly, and airports need to understand how this fuel can be safely and efficiently integrated into daily operations. The mobile liquid hydrogen refuelling vehicle built by the HyPRIME project can be an important step in supporting the use of hydrogen-electric aircraft by providing on-site means to refuel jets within commercially relevant timeframes and costs, without committing to a permanent hydrogen refuelling infrastructure.
