The BSR HyAirport project: The Interreg Baltic Sea Region Program’s project BSR HyAirport (BSR Hydrogen Air Transport – Preparation of Baltic Sea Region Airports for Green Hydrogen) aims to facilitate the early adoption of this key technology (GH2) in the BSR by preparing airports for storing, handling, and delivering gaseous green hydrogen (GH2) as a future energy source in aviation. Common challenges to be addressed by the partnership include the evaluation of options and elaboration of concepts for the regional supply of green hydrogen (GH2) to airports according to local demand, legal and safety requirements related to GH2 storage and handling at airports, and the development and testing of equipment and procedures for refuelling and handling hydrogen-powered aircraft. With a partnership of airports, technology partners, airlines, and research institutions from across the programme area, the project will create a unique (maybe leading) platform for the joint development, implementation, and testing of practical solutions serving the common challenges and specific needs of hydrogen-powered aviation in the BSR region. Additional information is available on the project website https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/bsr-hyairport/
Local hydrogen production and storage potential analysis for airports in the BSR HyAirport consortium. Described evaluation of the economics of GH2 in BSR aviation is a part of the group activity 1.2. “Supply Chain”, subactivity 2 “Local hydrogen production and storage potential analysis”. This project will assist in developing concrete proposals to development local hydrogen production and storage in airports. By assist these development challenges proactively, the BSR HyAirport project aims to accelerate the adoption of green gaseous hydrogen as an alternative fuel in aviation sector within the BSR and potentially beyond.
Local Hydrogen production and storage analysis and recommendations. The project objective is to research the developing local hydrogen production and storage Requirements regarding green hydrogen implementation in the BSR. The project partners are dealing with local hydrogen production from renewables and storage requirements for the use of green hydrogen as an energy source for aircraft and for ground equipment at airports. Relevant provisions include local production and storage regarding safety, and environmental protection, as well as building and authorisation regulations.
Goal of the project. The essential project objective of this group activity is to be utilised for a report on proposed development of the local production and storage for airport operations with hydrogen powered aircraft.
Expected outcome. Existing EU BSR country and international local production and storage development requirements must be researched, focusing on the use of gaseous green hydrogen in BSR airports. Comparative analysis must also be completed, so that the project may be valuable to all EU BSR countries and have multi-national benefit. The anticipated outcomes of this project include, among others:
- a detailed local hydrogen production and storge requirements analysis of the BSR countries, providing an understanding of the current development local production and storage development requirements in the hydrogen industry;
- identification of key local production and storage development challenges deterring the implementation of hydrogen powered aviation and airport ancillary equipment in the BSR;
- development of a comprehensive set of recommendations for legislative and regulatory changes to aid the seamless integration of hydrogen production and storage into the BSR’s transportation ecosystem.
Timeframe: Proposals for the service delivery should be submitted by December 4, at 12.00 o’clock EET. Final version of the deliverable should be submitted by May 2, 2025, however the ongoing consultations with project partners and consortium members are expected to take place during the whole period of the research.
