GE Aviation, Safran, and Airbus team up for hydrogen-powered engine

Le post original

Earlier today, we announced our third major demonstration program to help us define the future of flight and to enable the commercial aviation industry to achieve its decarbonization goals. Along with our CFM International (CFM) partner Safran, we will join forces with Airbus to develop and test a hydrogen-powered engine that will fly in the middle of this decade. We are uniquely positioned to develop hydrogen propulsion. The demonstration will use a modified Passport engine mounted on an Airbus A380 test platform for the flight tests. Both GE Aviation and Safran have significant hydrogen experience, including Safran’s rocket motors, and GE's more than 8 million hours of operating experience using blended hydrogen fuels in power turbines. When we launched the CFM RISE demonstrator program last June, we took the bold step of committing to developing an engine that will be compatible with both 100% sustainable aviation fuel and hydrogen. With today’s announcement, our path toward achieving that goal is now clear. Helping the aviation industry meet its goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is a massive challenge and an equally large opportunity for us. Our development efforts are unique in scope, encompassing advanced open fan and compact core architecture with the CFM RISE program, electrification with our partnership with NASA and Boeing on a Megawatt-class hybrid system, and advanced fuels through our demonstrations and advocacy for 100% sustainable aviation fuel and, with today’s announcement, hydrogen.

On November 9, 2021 U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg set a goal of net-zero aviation emissions by 2050. So all relevant companies have probably to go along with this "ambitious" plan. There is a very interesting chapter "8. Policies and Measures to Close the Gap" in the detailed key initiatives in this plan : "Proposed Actions The United States has established a goal of net-zero emissions for U.S. aviation by 2050, recognizing that a whole-of-government approach is crucial to the achievement of that goal, and also recognizing that no single approach—aircraft technologies, operations, or SAF—will be sufficient to achieve it. With a view to closing the emissions gap, the United States will undertake extensive consultations with stakeholders on options for policies and programs and will assess existing legal authorities with a view to advancing additional tools in support of the goal. " Well, they all have to start somewhere, but as of today, it's not much more than goodwill and press releases. And if the "extensive consultations with stakeholders" do not bear fruits, the initial date of 2050 may very well be postponed.
