<p>The conclusions made by the FlyZero project were used to inform the Government’s
Jet Zero Strategy, which was published in July 2022, and sets out the Government’s
approach to achieving net zero 2050 for UK aviation. The use of hydrogen is considered
in the Zero Emission Flight chapter of the Strategy.</p><p> </p><p>The Strategy anticipates
that hydrogen will be first deployed in short haul aviation with recognised uncertainty
on the potential for and timing of its scaling up for use in long haul. As with all
measures in the Jet Zero Strategy the Government keeps the evidence base under regular
review and any changes will be reflected in future updates to the Strategy.</p><p>
</p><p>Building on the recommendations of the FlyZero project, the Government, through
the Department for Business and Trade, are funding the initial phase of a Hydrogen
Capability Network. This project aims to define the operating model for open-access
facilities designed to accelerate the development of liquid hydrogen aircraft technologies,
capabilities, and skills in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The Government continues its work
with industry and academia through the Jet Zero Council to drive the delivery of new
technologies and innovative ways to cut aviation emissions. In 2022 a Delivery Group
of the Council was established on Zero Emission Flight, which considers the use of
hydrogen in meeting net zero aviation by 2050.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>
