Airbus, Avinor, SAS, Swedavia, and Vattenfall have committed to evaluating the feasibility of constructing hydrogen infrastructure at airports in Sweden and Norway. Airbus stated that this feasibility study is the first of its kind to cover two countries and more than 50 airports. The collaboration’s focus will be on hydrogen aircraft concepts, refueling needs, and regulatory frameworks.
Lhyfe and SAF+ have agreed to produce e-SAF fuels from green and renewable hydrogen to decarbonize the aviation industry. This announcement marks the first of its kind for Lhyfe. According to the Paris-based green hydrogen company, “SAF+ brings together a coalition of leading international players from across the aviation value chain.” In July 2023, the company announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Air France-KLM Group for the supply of second-generation e-SAF fuel, with the first deliveries scheduled for 2030. Separately, Lhyfe has also announced plans to build a new hydrogen production plant in Brake, Germany.
ManpowerGroup has conducted a study with Cepsa on the potential creation of more than 1.7 million new green jobs across Europe by 2040 due to green hydrogen and biofuels development. They reported that Spain is expected to lead with 181,000 new jobs, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. The study notes the need for vocational training, workforce mapping tools, and public-private partnerships to address skills gaps, with 60% of the workforce requiring retraining and upskilling to seize these new opportunities.
RINA and Italy’s Gas and Heat have agreed to develop a cargo and fuel gas system for an ammonia-fueled bunker vessel. RINA has stated, “Within this agreement, Gas and Heat will develop the basic design of the system, and RINA will carry out the compliance assessment of the design.”
