Australia’s energy policy settings at Federal and State level offer opportunities for a power transformation unmatched in format and content since the impact of widespread electricity transmission more than 50 years ago. These settings are driven by regulation that links the energy sector network to low (or zero) emissions targets and by network decentralization that enables greater use of...
As NASA considers future technologies for aircraft that push towards greater sustainability and a “net-zero” future air transportation system, it is also considering the possibilities of cryogenic alternative fuels. NASA has considered hydrogen as an aircraft fuel since at least 1945 including demonstrations as early as 1957. There have been multiple cycles of interest and development within...
Alternate families of propulsion fuels such as hydrogen, hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc..), alcohols of hydrocarbons (methanol, ethanol, propanol, other), natural gas, biofuels, and other, are increasingly being considered for transportation industries and applications, including aerospace and rocket propulsion. And the cryo-cooled versions of these fuels are also...
Dual hydrogen-jet fuel aircraft have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and align with U.S. Aviation Climate Action Plan goals. However, the use of liquid hydrogen solely as fuel introduces significant challenges such as low energy per unit volume, cryogenic storage, and safety risks. Addressing these challenges will require significant investments in infrastructure and...
