Distribution of #hydrogen using freight-compatible modules significantly reduces infra costs, transfer losses, and fueling/turnaround times vs. conventional fuel logistics chain. This modular solution will enable hydrogen #airplanes in commercial service as early as 2025. (1/6) 
A conventional fuel #infrastructure for #hydrogen #aviation would require a near-simultaneous massive capex investment across 4,000+ commercial airports worldwide. This would easily exceed the trillion+ investment in LNG infrastructure. (2/6)
#Hydrogen, while lighter, safer, and cheaper than jet fuel, does take more volume. As a result, a conventional liquid hydrogen fueling operation can take 4X longer than with jet fuel—as long as 1h20min—wreaking havoc on turnaround times and unit economics. (3/6)
#Hydrogen transfers from vessel to vessel also incur losses on the order of several %. These can accumulate to 10-15% across the entire logistics chain.(4/6)
Modular distribution of #hydrogen using existing freight #infrastructure and #airport cargo handling equipment alleviates the need for new infrastructure capex, turns air-side fueling into a simple cargo loading operation, and removes the lossy transfers. (5/6)
Module filling of #hydrogen takes place at filling depots where the operation is not time-sensitive and hydrogen losses can be re-captured. (6/6)
