A University of Oregon study published in Chem Catalysis identifies dissolved iron migration as the primary degradation mechanism in alkaline electrolysers operating on variable renewable power — a finding with direct implications for green hydrogen supply chains serving aviation and transport.
Despite a quiet fortnight for electrolyser announcements, aviation and transport compliance teams continue tracking RED III hydrogen quotas and ReFuelEU mandates ahead of the 2030 ramp.
Sustainable aviation fuel mandates are reshaping the industry in 2026, but early UK data reveals challenges in meeting first-year compliance targets.
As sustainable aviation fuel production scales toward $10.27 billion by 2032, range-extender powertrains offer a parallel pathway for regional aircraft electrification.
A joint Airbus and ICF study presented at Farnborough Airshow finds that a fully developed Canadian SAF value chain could cover 40% of the country’s aviation fuel demand by 2040 while generating a $32 billion GDP contribution.
Korean researchers have developed a nickel-cobalt water-electrolysis electrode costing 99% less than platinum-group alternatives, with scaling targeted at megawatt-class applications that could materially reduce SAF and e-fuel production costs.
White hydrogen exploration remains quiet in May 2026 as aviation and transport sectors await commercial-scale projects that could reshape fuel supply chains.
A joint Airbus and ICF study unveiled at Farnborough 2026 finds that scaling Canadian sustainable aviation fuel production to 40% of national aviation fuel demand by 2040 could deliver a $32 billion boost to Canada’s GDP.
A potential Strait of Hormuz closure has pushed EU sustainable aviation fuel spot prices 31% above the 2026 average, intensifying pressure on airlines already navigating tight SAF supply and mandatory blending targets.
Horse Powertrain’s 105 kW methanol range extender, revealed in July 2026, offers OEMs a regulatory bridge across the EU’s 2035 ICE transition — provided they frame it correctly under RED III’s RFNBO accounting rules.
