Key investment in airport infrastructure needed now to meet demand for hydrogen and electric aircraft by 2050

GENEVA,23rd April, 2023 (WAM) – Hydrogen and electric aircraft could require 600-1,700 terawatt-hours (TWh) of clean energy by 2050, according to a new white paper from the World Economic Forum (WEF). For context, the total amount of renewable energy produced in 2021 was just over 8,000 TWh globally. To meet the estimated energy demand from hydrogen and electric aircraft in 2050 would require the amount of energy produced from 10-25 of the world’s largest wind farms, or a solar farm half the size of Belgium,...

Hydrogen and electric aircraft may need 600-1,700 terawatt-hours (TWh) of clean energy by 2050, an ambitious target compared to the present 8,000 TWh, said a report by WEF. By some estimates, hydrogen and e-planes will account for 38% of flights by 2050.
