If hydrogen used as fuel is created with renewable energy, it is a way for Denmark to achieve its goals. However, it is questionable whether the technology will be ready by the 2030 target and whether the costs will be low enough.

Neighboring Sweden has also announced plans to rid its domestic aircraft of fossil fuels by 2030. Hopes to green international flights by 2045.

France wants to ban domestic flights if the same train journey can be completed within two and a half hours.

New Zealand also has ambitious plans. Air New Zealand and Airbus want to jointly explore whether hydrogen can fly into New Zealand. The airline does not want to generate more emissions by 2050, so it needs to look for innovative solutions.
