Abstract

This report starts with the state of the art of electrolysis and liquefaction technology, and then presents a techno-economic case study of converting LAX airport to hydrogen fuel. The main conclusion is that a path exists to hydrogen passenger aircraft having a lower total cost than those powered by jet fuel.

Keywords
