See what one bathtub of water could power

To make fossil fuels you need to find oil, gas or coal and rip it out of the ground. To make green hydrogen, on the other hand, you need to find some water, and then electrocute it. So what could a bathtub of water actually power?*

*All the equivalents are based on a conversion of the gross heating value of hydrogen by weight (~34kWh/kg). Bathtub: 180 litres equals 180 kg. Water is 1/9th hydrogen (atomic weight of H = 1.0, atomic weight of O is 16.0). Mass of H in the tub = 20 kg. 20 kg-H x 34 kWh/kg-H = 680 kWh against either a KwH or H-kg equivalent in each link.

Building a plane that primarily emits water and oxygen

Heavy industries are hard to decarbonise. Things like shipping and aviation require massive amounts of reliable, storable energy. Green hydrogen is the future juice that will help make this a reality.

Right now Airbus is developing a Zero Emissions Aircraft powered by green hydrogen. Annually, aviation pumps 915 million tonnes of carbon into the environment*. Aviation emissions have doubled since the 1980s. Green hydrogen would mean that a plane’s primary in-flight emissions would be just water and oxygen. 

FFI and Airbus signed an agreement in March

 that investigates the challenges around green hydrogen regulations, infrastructure, and global supply chains – from the production of green hydrogen, right through to its delivery to airports and transfer onto aircraft.

Building a green flying machine is one challenge. Fuelling fleets of them around the globe is another. Airbus has committed to getting the first Zero Emissions Aircraft in the sky by 2035, and FFI is in it for the long haul too. Outside the work we’ve started with Airbus, we’ve taken a stake in 

, which is rapidly developing green hydrogen conversion for regional turboprop planes and traditional narrowbody jet aircraft.

We are starting the green aviation revolution.
