International Conference on Electric Airships
Decarbonizing Aviation

September 28-29, 2023
Energiecampus Nürnberg

The conference covers technical aspects as well as applications and environmental aspects.

Flexible thin-film solar cells, highly efficient power electronics, and lightweight batteries enable the construction of a new generation of airships. This includes drones, high altitude airships, and airships for cargo and passenger transport. In particular, airships can be used in the future for:

• transport to remote areas
• sustainable cargo transport
• transport of heavy loads
• sustainable passenger transport
• monitoring and surveillance of e.g. pipelines, high power transmission lines
• provision of telecom and internet connections
• tourism transport, recreation, and sightseeing
• humanitarian aid, disaster relief

Conference Topics:

• Construction and design of airships
• Construction of low and high altitude drones
• Sustainable aviation by airships
• Power electronics and batteries for airships
• Solar energy for airships
• Application of airships
• Usage of hydrogen as energy source and lifting gas
• Certification, regulation and integration in existing aerospace
• Infrastructure, ground handling of airships
