• Preliminary security and carbon impression research.
• Value evaluation and funding roadmap improvement.

Hydrogen Airport is concentrating on a worldwide market, with preliminary enterprise improvement efforts targeted on roughly 200 worldwide and regional airports of a given crucial dimension situated in present or future hydrogen hubs (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific).

Within the framework of this three way partnership, Air Liquide brings its experience in hydrogen, which ranges from the manufacturing of renewable or low-carbon hydrogen, to liquefaction, storage, and the distribution of hydrogen for plane. Groupe ADP contributes its experience in airport infrastructure and operations.

The governance construction is as follows:
