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.
