Hybrid Air Vehicles joins the Skies and Seas Hydrogen-fuels Accelerator Coalition

“When I saw Tom Grundy, Hybrid Air Vehicles’ CEO, speak at the Sustainable Aviation Futures Congress in May, it was hard not to be compelled by his impressive work. HAV is a source of true innovation in flight technology, requiring surprisingly little infrastructure, cost-competitive off the bat, and a clear and credible roadmap to zero carbon emission flight. It’s for just those reasons that the SASHA Coalition is a perfect fit for HAV. We’re building a powerful cross-industry collective of frontrunner green aviation and shipping companies to show policymakers how uneven the playing field is for these leaders set to be the future of decarbonised transport. HAV’s technology might be a first in the Coalition, but the challenge it faces is shared across our membership: a policy landscape that disproportionately advantages unsustainable incumbent technologies and fossil fuels. But our coalition does not just shine for its robust understanding of the problems faced, but also the sharp, evidence-based policies that would allow them to flourish, developed through our members’ incisive expertise. I’m thrilled to have Tom, and the HAV team join us in paving the road towards zero carbon emission flights.”

“NGOs like SASHA are critical as the world slowly moves towards a net zero future. They champion, through policy, what is needed to transition to a world where green hydrogen is available for aviation and shipping – both incredibly hard sectors to abate. I look forward to working with the team to influence and help shape the policy frameworks required.”
