The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO), in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (U.S. DOT-FAA), the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Navy, hosted the virtual H2@Airports Workshop on November 4–6, 2020. The workshop convened more than 90 experts from government, academia, and industry to share information on the status of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), aircraft, and ground support applications.
The workshop included two breakout sessions where participants also identified hydrogen and fuel cells progress, challenges, and potential opportunities in the aviation sector that can enable DOE's H2@Scale initiative.
