We hosted a diverse group of sister airports and partners at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the TULIPS – Green Airport announced. The occasion was a demonstration and explanation of two groundbreaking innovations that has been developing since the programme’s inception: the Iron Flow Battery and the Hydrogen Ground Power Unit (H2-GPU). The Iron Flow Battery is already operational, while the H2-GPU is scheduled for upcoming tests.
Sybren Hahn, Schiphol’s Executive Director of Infrastructure, opened the meeting by commending the results and collaborative efforts. He emphasized the complexity of these innovations and highlighted the challenge of implementation. However, by uniting as partners, our groundbreaking solutions can take flight. Sustainable airport operations are integral to Schiphol’s mission, and the Iron Flow Battery and H2-GPU play a crucial role in reducing emissions and enhancing air quality on the apron.
During the event, TULIPS partners shared insights into their contributions. ESS and Schneider Electrics were pivotal in developing the Iron Flow Battery, while Dynell and Zepp.Solutions contributed to the H2-GPU. On-site, KES colleagues demonstrated the Iron Flow Battery in action and showcased the refueling process for the H2-GPU using a specialised hydrogen refueling truck.
