The activities of companies in the aviation sector cause harmful carbon emissions. Despite that Rolls-Roycelooks to the future with hope, testing something that has never been done before in the industry. So much so that the target of zero carbon emissions by 2050 is one step closer. Here are the details.
Rolls-Royce tests first hydrogen fueled engine
As a result of testing at the UK Ministry of Defense’s facility in Boscombe Down, engineers used hydrogen instead of conventional jet fuel. Rolls-Royce powers civil and military aircraft in a joint experiment with easyJet AE 2100-A turboprop tested the engine. The experiment was conducted with green hydrogen produced by wind and tidal energy in the Orkney Islands in Scotland.
supported by the United Nations Race to Zero program aims to reduce carbon emissions to 0 by 2050. For this reason, airline companies want to use more sustainable fuels that can be an alternative to petroleum-based jet fuel.

Airlines are one of the hardest places to get rid of carbon emissions. In other words, it seems that it will be many years before a passenger plane fueled by electricity or hydrogen can fly over long distances. So much so that all airplanes that will use this fuel have to be redesigned due to the storage conditions and the area occupied by hydrogen fuel.
This experiment, carried out by Rolls-Royce and easyJet, is promising for the future, although it does not involve lifting the aircraft. The next trial for the two companies will be a full-scale test on land with the Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 business jet engine. On the other hand, to test AirBus hydrogen technology CFM International working with. As a test of producing a zero-emission aircraft by 2035 superjumbo A380 He plans to use his engine.
“We are pushing the boundaries to explore the zero-carbon possibilities of hydrogen that can help reshape the future of airlines,” said Rolls Royce chief technology officer. easyJet Even though we announced our partnership with in July, we made an incredible start with this milestone success.”
