3、 emissions.Whilst this is a relatively small contribution compared to other sectors,if NewZealand is to achieve its net zero goal by 2050,domestic and international aviation emissions must be reduced.A range of technologies are being developed to decarbonise aviation hydrogen may play a key role in

4、a number of these technologies.Green hydrogen is seen as one of the most viable zero carbon emission fuel with potential to scale to large aircraft utilising fuel cell,gas turbine and hybrid systems.Increased momentum for hydrogen hubs at airports is largely coming from Europe,with France,Italy and

5、Germany linking into the Airbus European hydrogen hub network.In addition,other countries like Japan and Korea often seen as hydrogen pioneers,are investigating hydrogen hubs at airports.Currently,New Zealand has limited supply of green hydrogen.Green gaseous and liquidous hydrogen production will b
