Six international companies - including Air New Zealand, Christchurch Airport and Airbus - have banded together to study opportunities for using green hydrogen to fuel aviation.
In a report released this morning, the group says New Zealand is an ideal place to develop the low-emission fuel alternative, thanks to our short domestic flight times and high percentage of renewable electricity generation.
Chris Boyle is a co-founder of Christchurch-based engineering company Fabrum - which is already working on hydrogen aviation projects overseas.
He said that if any place can make this work, it will be New Zealand.
Boyle spoke to Corin Dann.
