法国空中客车公司和南非国家航天中心联合出资,由南非氢能系统技术中心研究氢燃料电池在飞机上的应用,以期取代化石燃料辅助动力装置(APU)。航空运输的需求每15年翻一番,预计到2032年全球航空业将需要30000架新飞机(100座以上)。同时航空油的高成本和航空业的行业承诺——到2050年时相比2005年的二氧化碳排放量减少一半,将共同推动航空业寻找化石燃料的替代能源。在此背景下,空中客车公 France Airbus and South African National Aerospace Center jointly funded by the South African Hydrogen System Technology Center hydrogen fuel cell research in the aircraft to replace the fossil fuel-assisted power plant (APU). The demand for air transport will double every 15 years and it is estimated that by 2032 the global aviation industry will require 30,000 new aircraft (over 100). At the same time, the high cost of aviation oil and the aviation industry’s commitment to reducing the carbon dioxide emissions by half by 2050 compared to 2005 will jointly push the aviation industry to look for alternative energy sources for fossil fuels. In this context, Airbus public
