First commercial hydrogen flights could come “as early as 2028”, researchers suggest

The first commercial hydrogen flights could come as early as 2028, according to studies from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Chalmer’s competence centre for hydrogen research TechForH2 also claimed all air travel within a 1,200km in Sweden could be made with hydrogen-powered aircraft by 2045. “If everything falls into place, the commercialisation of hydrogen flight can go really fast now,” said Chalmers University professor and director of TechForH2 Tomas Grönstedt. “As early as 2028, the first commercial hydrogen flights in Sweden could be in the air.” With novel heat exchanger technology currently in development, researchers believe the range
