Doncaster-Sheffield Airport And Hydrogen

I believe that the airport of the future will need a lot of hydrogen.

I am probably more optimistic than most, that we will see hydrogen-powered aircraft by around 2035, as my calculations say it is probably the only way to move a hundred people by air at a time, without using fossil fuels.

Airports also have a large number of larger vehicles, that will I believe be ideal for hydrogen power.

Hydrogen buses and coaches will be more common, than they are now.

Heavy goods vehicles are likely to turn to hydrogen power.

Humberside has a large hydrogen network, which is fed by two massive hydrogen stores at AldBrough and Brough.

I suspect that Nimbys will object to hydrogen around airports on safety grounds.

But Doncaster Sheffield Airport could be an ideal location for an airport for hydrogen-powered aircraft.
