Event Topic - Hydrogen: from space to zero emission aviation and back to space

• Past and more recent innovations in the field of hydrogen from the space sector can help the aviation sector to become more sustainable (hydrogen powered aviation)
• The space industry and knowledge institutes in Bremen and Zuid-Holland both have a rich heritage in the field of hydrogen powered launchers used in space. This can help the international aviation sector on their way towards hydrogen powered aviation. Chances for cross overs and building bridges.
• Innovations in the field of hydrogen powered aviation can also speed up innovations in the space sector e.g. in relation to Ariane 7 and commercialisation of the space sector.
• Hydrogen in space and sustainability approach: what are the challenges? Re-usebility (not only for H2), advantage of scale, standardization, sensing, safety….
• Chances for commercialisation: Use of hydrogen for aviation gives a perspective on production of higher volumes for companies of the space industry (Economy of costs).

About Hydrogen in Bremen:

At the Bremen location, the experience and developments for hydrogen as an energy carrier for aviation, space travel and sea transport. The research institutes FIBRE, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Fraunhofer IFAM, and Leibnitz-IWT are involved in these developments. The experience of the ArianeGroup from the development of the Ariane rocket upper stage, in which cryogenic hydrogen has been used for over 40 years, is of particularly lasting benefit here. In addition, there are a large number of small suppliers who have a wealth of experience in the field of hydrogen working together or on behalf of the OEMs.

Airbus intends to offer the first commercially viable passenger aircraft powered by liquid hydrogen by 2035. The corresponding industrialization of the tank system integration, a possible design of the LH2 storage systems as well as operating and certification concepts are to be developed and demonstrated in Bremen. For necessary further developments, a laboratory for cryogenic materials research, among other things, will be established at ECOMAT (Bremen Center for Eco-efficient Materials and Technologies). In addition, the cross-divisional #H2Lab has already been created, which adapts hydrogen-based space technology and develops concepts for the civil, commercial and emission-free aviation of the future.
