Syensqo: A Vanguard of Innovation
At Syensqo, we believe in the power of innovation to solve the world’s most pressing energy challenges. Our mission is to harness the potential of renewable resources, transforming them into clean, sustainable energy solutions for a global audience. The Syensqo Green Hydrogen Platform is a testament to this vision, embodying our dedication to advancing green hydrogen as a viable, eco-friendly energy carrier for the future.
The Role of Aquivion® in PEM Electrolysis
Central to our green hydrogen initiative is the Aquivion® ion-conducting polymer, a groundbreaking technology developed by Syensqo. Aquivion® plays a pivotal role in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysis, a process critical for the efficient production of green hydrogen.
PEM electrolysis is a method that splits water (H2O) into its constituent elements—hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2)—using electricity. This process is facilitated by a PEM, a component that conducts protons while acting as an electronic insulator and a barrier to gas crossover. Herein lies the significance of Aquivion®: its exceptional ion-conducting capabilities make it an ideal material for the PEM, enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of hydrogen production.
Key Advantages of Aquivion®
Aquivion® distinguishes itself through several key features:
High Ionic Conductivity: Aquivion®’s superior ion-conducting properties ensure minimal energy loss during electrolysis, leading to higher efficiency in hydrogen production.
Chemical Stability: Its robust chemical structure withstands the harsh conditions of electrolysis, ensuring longevity and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Environmental Sustainability: Aquivion® supports the production of green hydrogen, a clean energy carrier, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions and the advancement of renewable energy sources.
The Future is Green with Syensqo
The integration of Aquivion® technology into our PEM electrolysis process is more than just a technical achievement; it’s a step towards realizing the full potential of green hydrogen as a key player in the global energy landscape. By enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of hydrogen production, Aquivion® is helping Syensqo pave the way for a cleaner, greener future.
As we continue to develop and refine our Aquivion® technology, we remain committed to our mission of driving innovation in the energy sector. The Syensqo Green Hydrogen Platform, powered by Aquivion®, and its advanced material solutions, stand as a beacon of hope, promising a world where renewable energy sources light the way to sustainability and prosperity.
An adventure to herald the future of hydrogen-powered flight
Climate Impulse is the new environmental and technological endeavor led by Swiss pilot and explorer Bertrand Piccard. It will be the first hydrogen plane to fly non-stop around the world – a nine-day, emission-free circumnavigation of the globe that is set to create a paradigm shift.
Bertrand Piccard will undertake this journey in 2028, alongside co-pilot and composite engineer Raphaël Dinelli, and with Syensqo as his first and main technological partner. The coming four years will be dedicated to manufacturing the aircraft’s parts and conducting test flights.
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.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Syensqo’s pioneering Aquivion® technology represents a significant leap forward in the realm of green hydrogen production, underscoring our unwavering commitment to sustainable energy solutions. Through the Climate Impulse project, Syensqo not only showcases its dedication to advancing renewable energy technologies but also reaffirms its role as a key player in the global effort to combat climate change. By integrating innovative solutions like Aquivion® into our green hydrogen platform, we are not just envisioning a future of clean energy—we are actively building it. Syensqo remains steadfast in its pursuit of excellence, driving the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient energy landscape, for today and generations to come. Together, with initiatives like the Climate Impulse project, we are making tangible strides towards mitigating climate change, embodying our commitment to a healthier planet and a brighter future for all.
