Mumbai, July 23: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has expanded its partnership with Rolls-Royce, a British multinational specialising in civil aerospace, defence aerospace, services, and power systems, to advance sustainable aviation initiatives.According to a press release, the collaboration focuses on researching hydrogen fuel system technology, reinforcing the potential of hydrogen as a zero-carbon aviation fuel of the future.
TCS will supply engineering skills and support to Rolls-Royce to tackle three key challenges in enabling hydrogen for aviation- fuel combustion, fuel delivery, and fuel system integration with an engine.
All elements must be validated for safe operation.This partnership highlights TCS’s commitment to driving sustainable transformation across industries, aligning with its broader mission to harness technology for positive societal impact.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has set targets for net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Alan Newby, Director, Research and Technology, Rolls-Royce, said, “We welcome TCS to our hydrogen research programme and their engineering skills will play a valuable role in addressing our technology goals. We’ve already made great progress and having TCS with us gives us additional capability as we move forward on our journey to enable the energy transition for the aviation sector.”
