Jet Zero
The Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution seeks to
position the UK at the forefront of aviation to push forward low
carbon travel and build on UK strengths to meet domestic and
international targets for combatting climate change.
The plan aims take immediate steps to drive the uptake of
sustainable aviation fuels, invest in R&D to develop
zero-emission aircraft and develop the infrastructure of the future
at our airports.
Developing the new and innovative technologies, as well as the
infrastructure required to meet these objectives within the
timescales demanded, is going to be a challenge. Innovating with
agility and incorporating robust science and evidence from the
start to build-in safety, with the regulatory landscape in mind, is
imperative if we are to get right first-time round.
How we can help
Moving to sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) -
our desk based and practical, real world, experimental research
activities have informed our intrinsic knowledge of the hazards and
risks of working with hydrogen, liquid hydrogen and lithium ion
batteries, plus our experience in advising how the safely introduce
and deploy pure or blended alternative fuel sources can be applied
directly to aviation.
Developing zero emission aircraft - our
scientists and engineers are skilled in the design and performance
of bespoke testing to evaluate the safety performance of individual
components and their integration into the wider aircraft system.
Combined with our advanced knowledge of low carbon and decarbonised
energy vectors and material science, allow us to help you engineer
the aircraft of the future, now.
Developing safe infrastructure - our role in
key net zero infrastructure projects such as MultHyFuel and
HyTunnel is informing us about how current infrastructure needs to
adapt for net zero. We are applying this new learning to the
aviation industry to help clients in this sector identify hazards
and develop safe systems and processes for working with hydrogen,
liquid hydrogen and batteries.
