Aviation Reached Zero Emissions In 2020

Aviation reached zero emissions in 2020

The two faces of the currency for this industry, because this year suffered losses never expected, but it is also the year in which they made a great technological leap when achieving this feat.

Rolls Royce and Airbus Aviation companies are those that have created this technological and ecological precedent, just emitting 2% carbon with their aircraft prototypes, this after, in 2019, the aviation industry will increase itsharmful contribution to the issuance of pollutants with 1.5% compared to 2018. In 2020, in September, Airbus presented 3 aircraft prototypes that pretend are those that for 15 years provide a commercial service with hydrogen propulsion. For the creation of these models with Zeroe patented technology, they invested 200 million euros, hydrogen is maintained by means of electrolysis that is also used in production and cars and buses.

A month later, the Rolls Royce British released the tests of their electric motor, part of the ACCcel program, with which they will move their Spirit of Innovation aircraft that will break the speed record thanks to electricity. They tested at batteries of 6 thousand super light solar cells structured in such a way that they were kept without heat impacts that allow them to reach 320 kilometers with a single load, which would be the equivalent of energy for about 250 homes. The speed goal to be overcome for now for an electric ship is 480 kilometers per hour, the Siprit exceeds this speed satisfactorily passing the tests in the air and maintaining the results.

With this and tests already carried out in vehicles with hydrogen, there is a maturation of energies, from the automotive industry to aviation, from 2026 to 2028 there is an important period of decisions for the creators of this technology, to define what thewinning model that others will help boost so that in 2035 it is the favorite ship of all airlines that can afford this investment.

Zeroe technology, as the name refers to it, will not generate carbon emissions, but other gases in addition to water and heat vapor, such as nitrogen, nitrous and methane oxide, the latter are part of greenhouse gases. In 2018, according to the UN, there was an increase in these gases by 147%, by 2019 the nitrous oxide was equivalent to 6% of gases, carbon dioxide by 80% and methane 14%. Therefore, Airbus will work on these problems for its aircraft.
