Join Dr. Albert Moussa to discuss how decarbonization and advances in Urban Air Mobility are driving the introduction of new fuels, technologies, and requirements in aviation. He will describe the aviation segments where hydrogen can satisfy these requirements and its associated challenges. To obtain FAA certification, manufacturers must demonstrate that the risk to passengers and the public from new fuel is no worse than that from traditional fuels. Dr. Moussa will discuss some of the safety issues with hydrogen, and drawing upon his 1982 study for NASA, compare quantitatively the crash fire hazards of aircraft fueled by liquid hydrogen vs. carbon fuels. He will also comment on hydrogen use in ground transport.
Dr. Moussa is the founder and president of BlazeTech Corp., an R and D and engineering consulting firm that services the aviation and energy industries. Previously, he spent a decade as senior consultant at Arthur D. Little, Inc. For about four decades, he worked in innovations in the areas of energy, environment and safety. For example, he developed unique software on fire, explosion and toxic releases for the chemical, aerospace and defense industries. He developed also novel pulverized and fluidized bed coal combustors. His forte has been in technology development to proof-of-concept testing but now he is seeking also the commercialization of his innovations. He has received several awards including the William Lockwood Memorial Lecture Award; Engineer of the Year by the New England AIAA Section; AIAA Distinguished Lecturer; Best Papers by SAE and ASEI; and several ASME citations. He has served on three national committees and was Associate Editor of the Journal of Energy Resources Technology. He received his Bachelor’s from Stanford University and his PhD from MIT.
