A ground-breaking airside hydrogen refuelling trial, led by easyJet and supported by several cross-industry partners, including IAAPS, has been successfully completed at Bristol Airport – the first airport trial of its kind at a major UK airport.

Metro Mayor Dan Norris has cut the ribbon to mark the official launch of IAAPS' pioneering green hydrogen production facility.

IAAPS engineers have reached a significant breakthrough, having successfully run an automotive Internal Combustion Engine on hydrogen for the first time. This was possible through the utilisation of green hydrogen generated by IAAPS’ own in-house green H2 power plant.

The Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems Centre for Doctoral Training (AAPS CDT) at the University of Bath is hosting a Research Incubator designed to identify and develop collaborative research opportunities around the theme of Batteries for Propulsion.

IAAPS is co-hosting a webinar series focused on sustainable transport with hydrogen in collaboration with Setsquared, administrator of the new Hydrogen & Sustainable Transport Economy Accelerator (HSTEA) initiative which provides a comprehensive range of expertise, finance and scale-up assistance for businesses and institutions looking to grow in this increasingly important sector.

IAAPS is pleased to be leading a comprehensive testing programme on two heavy-duty diesel engines as part of the Trident project, supported by the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC), with both industry and government funding.

The West of England is set to become a hydrogen leader after a £2.5 million ‘Hydrogen & Sustainable Transport Economy Accelerator’ or ‘HSTEA’ was launched at IAAPS.

IAAPS and its parent organisation, the University of Bath, are joining a pioneering collaborative project led by Moog Aircraft and funded by an Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) grant to develop key technologies for future liquid hydrogen gas turbine fuel systems.

The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, John Glen MP, Metro Mayor Dan Norris as well as Chris Skidmore MP, officially declared the IAAPS facility operational during a ribbon cutting ceremony.
