The future zero-emission fuel for aviation is hydrogen. At least, that’s the view of HySky Society, a new US lobby group that was formed this year. But whereas in some regions of the world like Europe and Japan, hydrogen is ‘hot’, HySky thinks that there is some work to do in North America to educate the aerospace industry, politicians, and the general public about the benefits of hydrogen.
In our “In Conversation”-series, we discuss what HySky is all about with CEO and Founder, Danielle McLean. She also shares some details about a new solid-state hydrogen storage technology that is currently being developed in the US.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
