Now everyone is talking about "carbon neutrality" and "peak carbon dioxide emissions". In order to achieve these two goals, many companies are developing cleaner new energy products, which is particularly common in the automobile industry. Recently, Airbus, one of the best companies in the aircraft industry, said that the group is more and more confident to manufacture hydrogen-powered aircraft that can be put into use before 2035.

Guillaume, CEO of Airbus, recently told the outside world that Airbus may first produce short-range or medium-range (hydrogen-powered) aircraft, and then produce larger aircraft. He said that in addition to obtaining the approval of the new product structure from the regulatory authorities, the company also needs to install special equipment at the airport and greatly increase the fuel that can be produced sustainably.
Although Airbus put forward the idea of developing hydrogen-powered aircraft, it is still a challenging thing. In addition to reporting to the government for regulatory regulations, how to obtain enough hydrogen and the research and development and promotion of relative technologies are all difficulties that plague Airbus in manufacturing hydrogen-powered aircraft. In February of this year, Airbus said that hydrogen-powered aircraft with more than 150 seats may not appear until 2050. Airbus said that despite the technical challenges, the company's top management chose to bet on hydrogen applications.
