   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Stathis Alexandrou; [2023]

   Abstract : Amidst the efforts to mitigate the energy-related carbon emissions of human activities and pursuing a net-zero future by 2050, the aviation sector, as part of a wider group of hard-to-decarbonize sectors is responsible for 12% of all the transportation emissions globally. Green Hydrogen as a zero-emissions alternative fuel from water and renewable energy serves as a prime candidate to replace conventional aviation fuels and lead the way towards carbon-free flights.
