Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), an IT service company, revealed its partnership with Rolls-Royce, a British firm that specializes in civil and defense aerospace technology. The company stated in a press release that the collaboration focuses on studying hydrogen fuel system technology to demonstrate its potential as a zero-carbon aviation fuel in the future.

TCS, with its skilled engineers, will assist Rolls-Royce in tackling three hurdles related to utilizing hydrogen in aviation. The company will assist the British multinational in areas such as system design, component design, supply chain support, and program management. The difficulties consist of fuel combustion, fuel delivery, and integrating fuel systems with an engine.

“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,” said Alan Newby, Director, Research and Technology, Rolls-Royce.

The alliance aligns with TCS's dedication to promoting sustainable change in various sectors. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has established goals to achieve carbon emissions neutrality by the year 2050.

“The partnership between TCS and Rolls-Royce is an exciting one that represents a powerful alliance in the quest for sustainable aviation solutions. We are aligned with Rolls Royce’s ambition for a greener future. This partnership is the perfect opportunity to put our technological strengths and passion for the environment to use for advancing innovation and fostering an eco-friendlier aerospace sector,” said Anupam Singhal, President - Manufacturing, TCS.
