Sirius Aviation is to develop zero-emission airports with hydrogen and renewable energy company Marathon Group Australia. Together they aim to enhance hydrogen storage, develop zero-emission airports, establish sustainable infrastructure and integrate renewable energy initiatives, aligning with Australia's ambitious clean energy goals. Leveraging the revolutionary Sirius Jet, a hydrogen-powered VTOL aircraft developed with Designworks, a BMW Group Company, the collaboration aims to redefine aviation.

“Partnering with Marathon Group is a major leap in transforming aviation with hydrogen technologies,” says Sirius CEO Alexey Popov. “Our efforts will set new benchmarks in sustainability and significantly reduce carbon emissions.”

Specifically, the partnership's goals are:

- Joint development of hydrogen storage and refuelling systems, including mobile hydrogen transportable liquidation and refuelling units, to meet diverse infrastructure needs.

- Establishment of zero-emission airports by harnessing the combined expertise in innovative technologies and infrastructure, supported by global partners.

- Deployment of the Sirius Jet for various applications, including cargo transport and air ambulance services, offering low noise, zero emissions and commercial benefits.

- Launch of comprehensive training programmes to build expertise in hydrogen technologies and foster aviation innovation.

- Regional integration of hydrogen production with solar and wind energy projects to support renewable energy objectives.

”This partnership with Sirius Aviation advances our mission to drive sustainable energy and pioneer innovations in hydrogen aviation, smart technology, transport ecosystems and infrastructure,” says Brett Singh, CEO of Marathon Group Australia.

Marathon Group, a leading force in Gippsland's energy sector for nearly four decades, has joined forces with Siemens, its technology partner, to advance hydrogen storage, generation and transport solutions, accelerating Australia's journey to net zero by 2050.

Supported by industry-leading collaboration partners, this groundbreaking alliance sets new standards in energy efficiency and sustainability, driving a transformative leap toward a more interconnected and environmentally advanced future.
