CT, a leading engineering company specializing in technological innovation throughout the product life cycle, is spearheading the European project CLAH2RENH3CE, supported by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and funded by the CDTI. This project aims to implement an innovative onboard storage system for a mixed hydrogen-ammonia fuel, designed to achieve zero carbon emissions in aviation.

CLAH2RENH3CE is an advanced fuel storage system that utilizes a combination of hydrogen and ammonia to power aircraft. Its design harnesses the advantages of both compounds, providing a highly efficient and completely carbon-free energy source. During operation, the system only releases water vapor and nitrogen, making it a sustainable alternative for aviation.

In collaboration with Sofitec, Indaero Grupo Emergy, and Edair Technologies, and with the support of CATEC, the Polytechnic University of Valencia, the University of Seville, and CTA, CT Engineering is leading the shift towards more sustainable aviation, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability.

This project addresses the urgent need to reduce aviation’s environmental impact, offering significant improvements in efficiency, performance, and safety. Its key advantages include:

• The use of composite materials in out-of-autoclave processes and additive manufacturing, reducing costs and enabling the production of larger, more complex structures without the limitations of traditional methods.
• Completely safe fuel storage and handling, meeting the highest safety standards.
• Compatibility with a wide range of aircraft, including commercial airlines, cargo planes, and regional aircraft.
• A cost-effective and sustainable alternative to conventional fuels.
• The ability to help airlines meet current and future environmental regulations, accelerating the transition to zero-emission aviation.
• A less expensive fuel, capable of reducing the industry’s operational costs.
• A scalable and rapidly deployable design, adapting to the sector’s immediate needs.

The development of CLAH2RENH3CE marks a turning point in the aviation industry. With CT leading the project, sustainable aviation is no longer a distant goal but a tangible reality, set to redefine the industry and usher in a new era of zero emissions.
