Changi Airport Group (CAG) today signed a collaboration
agreement with Airbus, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and
Linde to jointly develop a feasibility study for an airport hydrogen hub in
Singapore Changi Airport. The agreement was signed by Mr Yam Kum Weng, CAG
Executive Vice President for Airport Development; Dr Sabine Klauke, Airbus
Chief Technical Officer; Mr Han Kok Juan, CAAS Director-General; and Mr John
Panikar, Linde Executive Vice President APAC, at the Singapore Airshow 2022.
The two-year study will examine the infrastructure requirements
and supply solutions to support hydrogen-powered aircraft and airport
operations at Changi Airport. These requirements include the production,
storage and distribution of hydrogen in aircraft ground services, operational
equipment and refueling systems. In particular, CAG will be involved in
assessing the feasibility of hydrogen fuel cells in supporting airport
operations, as well as establishing regulations and standards for the safe
adoption of hydrogen technologies.
“Sustainability is a key focus area for CAG as we strive towards
making Changi Airport a sustainable air hub, with the longer-term aspiration
towards net zero carbon by 2050. We look forward to this collaboration to
explore innovations that enable hydrogen-powered aircraft and ground operations
at Changi Airport in the future,” said Mr Yam.
