Manchester Airport plans to be the first hydrogen fuel airport the UK.

It is installing a direct hydrogen fuel pipeline, in partnership with HyNet.

It unveiled plans for a direct supply of low carbon hydrogen fuel, to play a key role in decarbonising the industry.

Hydrogen-powered aircraft are expected to come into operation from the mid-2030s for short-haul journeys.

As a hydrogen fuel airport, Manchester could supply 6.5 million litres a day by 2050.

HyNet and the airport will work to assess the future demand for hydrogen for aviation.

Chris Woodroofe, Managing Director, Manchester Airport said “This announcement demonstrates the meaningful action we are taking for a carbon-free future.”

“By securing a direct supply of hydrogen for our airport, our 60 airlines will be able to make use of this ground-breaking technology as soon as possible.”
