    Liquid hydrogen (LH₂) is emerging as a promising alternative to fossil-based fuels to reach net-zero targets by 2050 due to its purity, high volumetric density compared to compressed gas, and versatility. However, designing infrastructure to handle LH₂ presents significant challenges, necessitating rigorous testing at cryogenic temperatures (20 K) to evaluate the materials and systems...

    At Airbus, our ambition is to bring hydrogen commercial aircraft to market by 2035. Our ZEROe programme was launched in 2020 to explore different aspects of hydrogen aviation encompassing the technologies that need to be adapted and the hydrogen ecosystem required to make this ambition a reality. One of the main challenges that was identified early on in the project is the limited cryogenic...

    Over the last 15 years, the Hydrogen Properties for Energy Research (HYPER) laboratory has completed cryogenic hydrogen research in a university laboratory setting safely and sustainably. However, the current demand for cryogenic hydrogen research facilities is rapidly outpacing available testing capacity. Future growth of the nascent cryogenic hydrogen industry will be significantly hindered...

    NASA has over 70 years of experience handling both gaseous and liquid hydrogen for space and aeronautical applications. As hydrogen comes back into the public sphere as a possible energy carrier, NASA can contribute in multiple ways to help US industry lead the way into these new ventures. Based on the results from workshops and discussions with US industry, academia, and other government...
