(Adnkronos) - È stato presentato a Bollate, in provincia di Milano, il progetto Climate Impulse di cui Syensqo è il principale partner tecnologico. L’obiettivo è compiere nel 2028 il primo volo non-stop intorno al mondo su un aereo alimentato a idrogeno verde.

00:00The project is a dream that we want to realize together with Bertrand Piccard and go around the world on a plane powered only by hydrogen, so with zero emissions.
00:15At the moment it is a dream because the technical solutions available today are not yet sufficiently advanced.
00:21So in the coming years we will work together with Bertrand Piccard to make the dream a reality.
00:25The research center is essential because we need new materials to realize the dream.
00:30Here in Bollate we have 300 researchers who are active in many different sectors, including hydrogen.
00:37We have already patented a special chemical for the hydrogen, which is the technological heart of both the electrolyzers, which release water to make hydrogen, and the fuel cells, which use hydrogen to generate electricity to run the engines.
00:55We certainly have materials that go in two important directions.
01:00The first is to lighten the plane, so with materials made of carbon, of aerospace derivation, with which we can build the plane lighter, but with the mechanics of metals.
01:12The second is on the hydrogen cycle to make the fuel cell inside the plane more efficient, and we are working on that too.
