US companies have successfully test flown hydrogen-powered planes that could seat as many as 40 passengers – and they say they're just getting started.
The company has agreed to pre-purchase the hydrogen, which will be produced by facilities designed to remove CO2 from seawater so the ocean can become a more efficient carbon sink.
