Use of hydrogen at Bilbao airport

Project description

The project involves the introduction of hydrogen-powered ramp ground handling equipment, and its commissioning under real operating conditions by the handling companies.

The H2-powered fleet to be deployed can be classified as follows:

- newly acquired equipment

- existing ramp equipment not powered by H2 (diesel and electricity)

The project also includes monitoring of the new equipment in real operating conditions as part of the passenger ground handling activity.

Impacto medioambiental

As the project is designed to reduce the carbon footprint of the airport's fleets of vehicles, its environmental impact will be considerable. In addition, the retrofitting of the ground handling equipment involves the fitting of new engines and the adaptation of auxiliary systems, thereby enabling this equipment to be given a second life and doing away with the need to scrap it and buy new equipment.
