As decarbonization is becoming a key topic in the aviation industry, hydrogen and electric propulsion have the potential of reducing the environmental impact of aviation but also come at a high price. Over the next ten years, switching to electric-powered aircraft will cost 14.35 billion U.S. dollars and another 75 billion U.S. dollars are expected over the next two decades.
Projected cost of switching to electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft worldwide from 2021 to 2050 (in billion U.S. dollars)
