ZeroAvia has signed an agreement with ScottishPower to work together to develop low-carbon H₂ supply to key airport locations to support the decarbonization of the aviation sector.

As well as exploring airport H₂ supply models and financing, the companies will also explore clean power requirements and H₂ production infrastructure for potential future ZeroAvia sites within ScottishPower’s distribution network areas across Scotland, North West England and North Wales. 

ScottishPower’s energy generation operations are already 100% renewable and powered by its UK wind farms, with the company offering retail and business customers wholly clean energy on green tariffs.  

ZeroAvia recently announced a 70 engine agreement with Scottish headquartered Ecojet, backed by the prominent environmentalist and entrepreneur Dale Vince. The company also has a longstanding partnership with AGS Airports, including Glasgow and Aberdeen to explore the H₂ infrastructure requirements for airports to support H₂-electric flight and other potential use cases. 

The Scottish Government’s target of 5 GW renewable and low-carbon H₂ production by 2030 is half of the UK Government’s overall target, while major H₂ production initiatives are also planned for the North West of England.
