Hydrogen Combustion vs. Hydrogen Fuel Cell: Weighing the Options
April 17, 2024
Aviation is vital to how the modern world works. As such, it’s no surprise that aviation’s carbon footprint has grown faster in recent decades than rail, road, or shipping. For example, in 2019, domestic and international aviation accounted for around 8 percent of the UK’s CO2 equivalent emissions. According to Britain’s Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), […]
