As part of its activiy, ATI will co-found with Airbus the Zero Emission Development Centre (ZEDC) to study hydrogen fuelling technologies for aircraft.
        The ATI Programme is a key component of the government’s Jet Zero policy, which includes the Jet Zero Council. This funding is in addition to £180 million of funding announced in the Net Zero Strategy to support the deployment and commercialisation of Sustainable Aviation Fuel plants in the UK.

        National Hydrogen Strategy

        The Ministry of Trade and Industry published in October 2022 Singapore's National Hydrogen Strategy. The role of low-carbon hydrogen to achieve the transition toward net zero by 2050 is identified, with particular focus to the power sector, due to limited domestic resources, and to the shipping and aviation sectors, given the strategic position of the country. Uncertainties surrounding green hydrogen development are recognised, and the effort will be organised around five key points:- support pathfinder projects to advance technology innovation- invest in research and development - pursue international collaboration to enable low-carbon hydrogen supply chains- undertake long-term…

However, the UK ETS initial set its cap at 5% below the UK’s national share of the EU ETS cap for its fourth phase. In 2024 the UK ETS reset its cap to align with its net zero emissions target, with the phase 1 cap set at 936MT for the 2021-30 phase and the cap declining to 49MT by 2030. The UK ETS design also has a Cost Containment Mechanism, which aims to mitigate against sustained extreme price spikes…
