The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking and the Free & Hanseatic City of Hamburg have signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) to ""accelerate the demonstration of low-emission aircraft technologies and concepts for entry into service by 2035"".
Both parties agreed on a joint strategic roadmap for net zero aviation, aligning itself to the European green deal objectives approved in 2020. They will identify the Research and Innovation areas on which Hamburg will concentrate its efforts.
According to the deal, between 2024 and 2027, Hamburg will mobilise up to €128 million in investments to support projects at regional level, thereby contributing to the clean aviation’s strategic research and innovation agenda (SRIA) and programme objectives.
Axel Krein, executive director of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking, said: ""The Free & Hanseatic City of Hamburg is now a strategic and pivotal partner of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking whose remit it is to develop disruptive technologies for low-emission aircraft to enter in service by 2035.
""Our common goal to accelerate transformation towards sustainable aviation is achievable by pulling together the best available expertise and resources from across Europe, in recognition that no single region or country can accomplish this goal alone.""
