Liquid Hydrogen Valves for^Aerospace

If hydrogen is to be employed safely as a clean aircraft fuel, leak free valves will be a necessity. Valves will also have to be compact and lightweight.

Hydrogen Aviation

The Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) sees liquid hydrogen as the most cost effective solution for the long term decarbonization of the aerospace industry. However, aerospace partners have made it clear that new valve technology will be required to enable this. Global aviation currently emits over 900 MtCO2e annually, and the ATI predicts that if current trends and technologies persist, aviation will contribute 39% of total UK carbon emissions by 2050.
