In Finland, Finavia is involved in the HyAirport hydrogen project for airports in the Baltic Sea Region. Finavia wants to research and promote the use of hydrogen at its airports and develop the logistics required for the use of hydrogen. The HyAirport project aims to promote fossil-free aviation in the Baltic Sea Region and has been granted EUR 4 million in EU funding.
The goal of the international hydrogen project is to develop the hydrogen supply chain from production to the fueling of airport equipment and aircraft and to testing operations.
Finavia has about 20 snow removal machines at Helsinki Airport that could, in the future, use hydrogen fuel for motive power. The project will bring gaseous hydrogen to the airport to act as an energy source for maintenance equipment that cannot be electrified due to their huge power demand.
