Airbus has announced it will open a ZEROe Development Centre (ZEDC) for hydrogen technologies at its site in Stade, Germany.
The facility is expected to accelerate the development of composite hydrogen-system technologies for storing and distributing cryogenic liquid hydrogen.
Stade ZEDC will focus on developing cost-competitive, lightweight hydrogen systems – such as a cryogenic hydrogen tank – in composites. This will cover the product and industrial capabilities from elementary parts, assembly and the manufacturing-related testing of the liquid hydrogen composite tanks.
The facility will be supported by public fundings and linked to the planned Innovation and Technology Centre Hydrogen (ITZ) in northern Germany, aiming to understand the potential of hydrogen technology and decarbonise the aviation sector.
