A journey to the future of hydrogen-powered flight
Syensqo is a proud partner of Climate Impulse, an ambitious initiative shaping the future of hydrogen aviation. Led by Swiss explorer and pilot Bertrand Piccard and his co-pilot and master engineer Raphaël Dinelli, this project is set to achieve the first non-stop, hydrogen-powered flight around the world, using revolutionary technology. As the main technological partner, alongside UM6P and OCP Group, Syensqo is pivotal in this groundbreaking endeavour, which promises to set a new standard for sustainable aviation and drive the sector toward net zero emissions.
Three adventures in one
At its core, Climate Impulse is a human adventure: that of Bertrand Piccard and Raphaël Dinelli, and of the many teams at Syensqo who will be working to provide the unique and custom technologies that will make this challenge possible and of all those who will follow this adventure from the ground!
With breakthrough innovation at the heart of the project, Climate Impulse is also a technological adventure. Beyond the production of green hydrogen from renewable energy, maintaining it at -253°C for nine days will represent a real breakthrough in aviation technology. Climate Impulse aims to develop and test in real-life conditions cutting-edge technologies that make the impossible possible! Climate Impulse is a European project with global reach.
Last but not least, Climate Impulse is an ecological adventure. The project concretely tackles the huge challenge of reducing the aviation industry’s carbon footprint, recognizing the urgent need to revolutionize this sector thanks to innovative solutions. If a round-the-world flight on a hydrogen-powered aircraft proves possible, a strong signal will be sent to the aviation industry - and to the mobility sector as a whole.
This challenge, made possible by Syensqo's expertise and technological know-how, aligns with our company’s lifelong purpose of using science to advance humanity. Our shared ambition is simple: to invent tomorrow's sustainable world.
For its significant contribution to environmental action, the Climate Impulse project is funded by The Syensqo Fund with the support of the King Baudouin Foundation.
