Normally, we don't cover hydrogen stuff much here at CleanTechnica. Well, at least not seriously. Often, we're making fun of it! Why? Because for most applications, hydrogen is a terrible way to store energy. The
Using electricity is no big deal because electricity can come from cleaner sources over time, but we have to be careful about not using too much. We’re already going to struggle to replace fossil fuel-burning energy sources with renewables, and upping our electricity usage massively would make that task even harder. So, we need to both electrify things that burn fossil fuels and try to not use too much.
So, at least for now, we’re stuck with hydrogen being the cleanest fuel, at least for some applications.from Airbus, the well-known maker of airliners, cargo planes, and other aircraft, shares an interesting tale about the heart of a special new plane, but be warned, it’s a plane with a cold, cold heart.
Therefore, storage tanks for a hydrogen-powered aircraft are an essential component, but they differ from those found on regular aircraft. A successful ZEROe aircraft largely depends on these tanks being manufactured correctly; thus, they established Zero Emission Development Centres about 15 months ago in Nantes, France, and Bremen, Germany, to work specifically on designing and constructing the hydrogen tanks.
In Nantes, the team took an empty warehouse and in a little over a year they built the first cryogenic hydrogen tank that Airbus has ever produced.
