The Philippines-based Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has signed a partnership agreement with Australian zero emissions aircraft designer and manufacturer, AMSL Aero, to explore a new zero-emissions aircraft industry and provide the catalyst for a hydrogen production industry in the Philippines.
“The new partnership with BCDA and AMSL Aero involves collaboration and knowledge sharing to develop an ecosystem for low-cost zero emissions aircraft and hydrogen energy that has the potential to connect the archipelago of the Philippines by passenger and freight carriage air bridges, coupled with strategically located hydrogen production plants for clean energy production,” said an AMSL Aero press release. “This will lead to the preparation of a feasibility study, which may include a technical and commercial study of the project with potential developments within the BCDA’s properties.”
AMSL Aero is an Australian-based company that produces a long-range hydrogen-electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft, the Vertiia.
