Cranfield University, a leading British aerospace research center, plans to establish the first UK airport-based large-scale hydrogen research hub, Aviation Week reported. This follows an $87 million funding win from a government-backed investment funding partnership and industry, the largest research funding awarded to Cranfield. The university plans to use these funds to scale up hydrogen-enabled aviation and expand its current work in feedstocks and fuel production; transport, storage and supply chain; and end users of aerospace and road vehicles.
