First phase of HyADES project will include tests on PW127XT engine fuel nozzle and combustor rig

MONTREAL, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pratt & Whitney Canada will demonstrate hydrogen combustion technology on a PW127XT regional turboprop engine as part of a project supported by Canada’s Initiative for Sustainable Aviation Technology (INSAT). The project, named Hydrogen Advanced Design Engine Study (HyADES), will be in collaboration with Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc., which will develop high-efficiency, low-cost electrolyzers needed for establishing hydrogen production infrastructure. Pratt & Whitney is an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business.

“This collaborative project with INSAT enables us to develop key technologies for future hydrogen powered aircraft and complements our wider efforts to advance aviation sustainability through a range of pathways, including continued improvements to engine efficiency, hybrid-electric propulsion and compatibility with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF),” said Edward Hoskin, vice president, Engineering, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “While regional aviation represents one of the most promising use cases for hydrogen, the project will also demonstrate the versality of adapting the proven, highly efficient PW127XT turboprop engine to operate with low carbon alternative fuels and continues our legacy of technology leadership in this segment.”

Funding for the first phase of the project will include fuel nozzle and combustor rig testing using hydrogen fuel, while future phases will target full engine ground testing. The PW127XT engine is the most advanced member of Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PW100 engine series, which has powered regional turboprop aircraft for forty years and accumulated more than 220 million flight hours. Launched in 2021, the PW127XT engine offers over 3% better fuel efficiency, 40% improved time on wing, and 20% reduced maintenance costs.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with INSAT and Pratt & Whitney Canada on this project,” said Raveel Afzaal, president and CEO of Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. “The ability to produce green hydrogen at scale will be a critical enabler for reducing aviation CO2 emissions, whether using hydrogen as a direct fuel for combustion or as feedstock for SAF.”

As part of a second INSAT-supported project, Turbine Engine Advanced Materials for Efficiency (TEAME), Pratt & Whitney Canada will work with Derivation Research Laboratory (DRL) to explore advanced materials for hot section components of gas turbine engines, which will help to improve thermal efficiency and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Pratt & Whitney Canada will lead the overall project providing both technical input and project management, while DRL will provide world-class materials testing capability for a wide variety of critical material properties.

OHRC and LCO release new tool to help organizations assess AI technologies to ensure they uphold human rights

By

TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2024 /CNW/ – Today, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) and the Law Commission of Ontario (LCO) launched the Human Rights Impact Assessment for AI Technologies (“HRIA” or “the tool”), a tool to help assess and mitigate human rights impacts of AI systems in a broad range of applications.

“AI offers many benefits, but also has well-documented risks. The AI impact assessment released today is a practical, step-by-step tool that will help organizations identify and manage AI risks to human rights.  The LCO and OHRC have worked together to develop the first human rights impact assessment based on Canadian human rights law,” said Raj Anand, Chair of the Law Commission of Ontario Board of Governors.      

“While we are eager to harness the opportunities and benefits presented by the potential of AI, its use by public sector entities around the world has resulted in serious harms to individuals and communities. Thus, it is imperative that human rights protections be built into the foundation of any governing framework or regulation,” said Patricia DeGuire, Chief Commissioner, Ontario Human Rights Commission. “We are proud to have worked with the Law Commission of Ontario to create this tool that will help guide organizations in ensuring that their use of AI aligns with their human rights obligations.”

The HRIA is a step-by-step guide with examples and explanations, created for AI designers, developers, operators, and owners to identify, assess, minimize, or prevent discrimination and uphold human rights obligations throughout the lifecycle of an AI system.

The HRIA aims to:

Strengthen knowledge and understanding of human rights impacts;Provide practical guidance on human rights impacts, particularly in relation to non-discrimination and equality of treatment; andIdentify practical mitigation strategies and remedies to address bias and discrimination from AI systems.

The OHRC and the LCO call on the Ontario government, employers, and all other duty-holders to use the HRIA to ensure that the opportunities, benefits, and protections associated with the use of AI are available to all Ontarians without discrimination.

Quick Facts

The HRIA is based on internationally established guardrails on AI, which recognize the importance of human rights due diligence in use of these technologies.The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) also contributed to the development of the HRIA.The HRIA has two parts: Part A is an assessment of the AI system for human rights implications. In this section, organizations are asked questions about the purpose of the AI, the significance of the AI system, and the treatment of individual Canadians and communities. Part B is about mitigation. Once the AI system has been categorized, Part B provides a series of questions to assist organizations to minimize identified human rights issues in the given AI system. The HRIA does not constitute legal advice and does not provide a definitive legal answer regarding any adverse human rights impacts, including violations of federal or provincial human rights law or other relevant legislation.
