Airport Infrastructure,Hydrogen,Electrification

The World Economic Forum has highlighted the need for investments in airport infrastructure to support hydrogen and electrification of the aircraft industry by 2050. The report suggests that carbon-free propulsion options will be required as early as 2025, with these aircrafts accounting for up to 38% of all flights by 2050. The estimated investment needed ranges from $700 billion to $1.7 trillion.

A year ago, the World Economic Forum released a statement on the necessary investments in airport infrastructure that they deemed were necessary to support hydrogen and electrification of the aircraft industry by 2050. According to the report, global demand would require airport infrastructure to support carbon-free propulsion options as early as 2025, with these aircrafts accounting for up to 38 per cent of all flights by 2050.

According to recent reports, without sustained investments to support an energy transition, shipping emissions could increase up to 130 per cent by 2050. And while we typically focus discussions on zero-emission transport vehicles, ocean port-side electricity and clean fuel infrastructure investments are necessary to support a zero-emission marine industry. Investments in ocean ports infrastructure would significantly reduce emissions from ships at-berth through the use of shore power .
