Hydrogen Aviation Needs the Airport Before the Aircraft
A review of 138 studies puts production, storage, infrastructure, standards, and airport coordination on the critical path.
Summary
A review of 138 studies puts production, storage, infrastructure, standards, and airport coordination on the critical path.
An Adelaide University-led review synthesized 138 studies published from 2015 through 2025 on green hydrogen for aviation. It concludes that hydrogen can eliminate direct carbon dioxide emissions during flight when produced renewably, but commercial deployment still depends on production cost, storage, airport infrastructure, safety standards, and coordinated policy. This is a research map and priority list, not evidence that hydrogen airliners are ready for routine service.
