I've done some homework on this, since it seemed pretty far-out for airbus...

I was right. The genesis of this "project" is that it was actually a condition imposed on airbus by some euro-politicians (who are probably not physicists or engineers).

The fine print is that airbus expects longer-range aircraft will still require conventional liquid fuel of some sort (presumably SAF) due to the energy density limitations of H2.
