Hydrogen can be used directly as a fuel for flight. Hydrogen can also be converted to synthetic aviation fuel (SAF) to enable long distance transportation on existing aircraft. Aviation requires high powered engines and extended operating times. There are multiple pathways to SAF and eSAF.

Selecting the most appropriate fuel for the use case is dependent on multiple factors beyond the cost of the fuel. Asset availability, repurchase costs, conversion costs are key to the overall business model in addition to fuel cost, availability, refuelling times, and range.

If you are investing in the production, storage, distribution, or use of SAF, eSAF or hydrogen for aviation then an appreciation of the alternatives is required. Understanding the market drivers and most likely use cases is essential. Similarly for aviation sector operators, understanding the range of fuels available is essential. Furthermore, consideration of the transition requirements from fossil fuels and future operating cost implications will be beneficial. This course will provide insights support all these aspects.


This course includes:

  • An engaging virtual training session lasting approximately three hours

  • Interactive format with dedicated Q&A sections with the expert trainer

  • Flexible access from modern mobile and desktop devices

  • A certificate of attendance on completion of the session


Agenda

Attend live. Each session includes dedicated Q&A sections throughout.

  • Case studies from hydrogen aviation pioneers


Meet the trainer

Stephen B. Harrison is the founder and managing director at sbh4 GmbH in Germany. His work focuses on decarbonisation. Hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives such as e-fuels, SAF and eSAF are fundamental pillars of his consulting practice. Stephen’s hands-on expertise extends to the full length of the value chain from production, purification, distribution, and storage through to utilisation of these green energy vectors.

With a background in industrial gases, including 27 years at BOC Gases, The BOC Group and Linde Gas, Stephen has intimate knowledge of hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives from commercial, technical, operational and safety perspectives. Stephen served 14 years as a global business leader in these FTSE100 and DAX30 companies and had the opportunity to interact with people, businesses, and operations around the world.
