Call for Action – Industry invitation to CAA Hydrogen Working Group
Overview
Our Hydrogen Working Group project will facilitate collaboration with industry and academia to improve understanding of hydrogen-related risks in aviation, identify gaps in regulations and policies, and propose new recommendations to develop net-zero regulations and policies.
This will allow for increased regulatory readiness, reduced risk of failure, and improved collaboration with the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
As part of this process, the CAA is committed to ensuring that needs and expectations of stakeholders align with the development and implementation of hydrogen as an aviation fuel – sustainably powering propulsion towards net-zero in 2050 while maintaining the existing high safety standards in civil aviation.
In order to do this, we are establishing Hydrogen Working Group (H2Wo) to facilitate engagement, consultation, and collaboration between the CAA, industry, operator and academic stakeholders.
The CAA invites stakeholders to register their interest in one (or more) areas:
- H2Wo(1) Hydrogen Propulsion Systems – hydrogen combustion, hydrogen electric and hydrogen fuel system.
- H2Wo(2) Hydrogen Aircraft Safety & Certification – standards as guidance, Special Conditions and Human Factors/Flight Ops.
- H2Wo(3) Aerodromes and Airports – infrastructure, fuelling/de-fuelling and airport safety
This application process is designed to ensure that the H2Wos are comprised of a diverse range of members with appropriate expertise, experience, and ability to contribute to the objectives of the H2Wos. All applications will be considered on their own merit against published assessment criteria. If we receive large numbers of applications of equal or similar merit that exceed places available, then the decision panel may use applicants’ personal statements to make a final decision.
The H2Wos will only accept applications from individuals, or individuals acting as a representative of their respective organisation(s). We are unable to accept applications from organisations as an entity.
Please note:
After the application process closes, the CAA reserves the right to accept individual applications from stakeholders who possess the necessary expertise, experience, and ability to contribute to the objectives of the H2Wos.
The applications will be considered by existing members of the H2Wos for them to consider their appropriateness. The CAA reserves the right to make any final decision(s).
