Swedish hydrogen fuel cell technology developer PowerCell Sweden AB (PowerCell) has announced that it has signed a follow-up order with German aircraft developer H2FLY GmbH for deliveries of fuel cell systems to aircraft. The order value is SEK 40 million (≈ EUR 3.5 million) and deliveries will take place in 2023 and 2024.
PowerCell signed the first order with H2FLY in June 2022 with a value of SEK 45 million. The first order included deliveries of multi-megawatt fuel cell systems as well as services and tests.
The follow-up order includes additional fuel cell systems of 1.8 MW as well as services and tests.
This order is yet another confirmation that we are leading the transformation to emission-free, sustainable aviation. We are the clear leader for hydrogen-electric solutions in the aviation industry, which is technically demanding and has extremely high safety requirements, said Richard Berkling, CEO of PowerCell.
The potential for hydrogen-powered aircraft is enormous. By the end of this decade, our first commercial systems will be certified and in operation worldwide. In the early 2030s, our scaled-up system will make it possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions for at least half of global air traffic, said Josef Kallo, co-founder and CEO of H2FLY.
