En integrert verdikjede for hydrogenbasert klimanøytral luftfart

Hydrogen er en energibærer med et stort potensial innen klimanøytral luftfart. Dette gjelder både når hydrogen benyttes direkte som drivstoff i fly enten knyttet til hydrogen-elektrisk drift, til direkte forbrenning av hydrogen i flymotorer eller når hydrogen benyttes som råstoff til produksjon s...
