DAT, Everfuel, and Universal Hydrogen Co. will collaborate on regional aviation in Denmark by enabling zero-emissions flight using clean hydrogen by the end of 2025.
The three companies will combine their expertise in flight operations, hydrogen fuel production, and hydrogen logistics and aircraft propulsion to bring into service hydrogen-powered ATR 72-600 regional aircraft on DAT routes in Denmark, with the goal of converting all of DAT’s domestic flights to true zero-emission flights by 2030, according to a press release.
DAT plans to use ATR 72s converted using Universal Hydrogen technology. These aircraft will accommodate 56 passengers following conversion to hydrogen. Universal Hydrogen will also provide fuel services to supply green hydrogen using modular capsules, without the need for changes to existing airport infrastructure.
The green hydrogen will be produced at Everfuel’s first Power-to-X (PtX) plant in Fredericia, the release states.
The collaborative effort between the three companies follows the Government of Denmark’s request for tender to develop zero-emission commercial flights in Denmark.
