Syensqo and Climate Impulse are progressing towards a zero-emission, round-the-world flight powered by green hydrogen, marking two years of collaboration. Key achievements include the successful validation of Syensqo's Aquivion® ion-exchange polymer for the aircraft's fuel cell system and the manufacturing of core structures using advanced composite materials in Les Sables d'Olonnes, France.

The project is set to complete aircraft assembly by late 2026 with initial test flights in Châteauroux. Syensqo's green hydrogen laboratory in Bollate, Italy, supports research and testing across the hydrogen value chain, enhancing development and reducing risk.
