據海上工程網6月19日報道，法國能源巨頭道達爾能源已經改造了三家煉油廠，從廢棄的食用油中生產生物燃料。

道達爾能源宣布到2030年每年生產150萬噸可持續航空燃料(SAF)的新目標，預計到2030年將占全球SAF市場的10%。這種燃料將在歐洲、美國、日本和韓國生產，不包括已經在法國建立的工廠。

該公司預測，到2028年，其所有生產裝置每年將生產50萬噸SAF。道達爾首席執行官潘彥磊在一份聲明中表示，道達爾正在采取措施，以滿足航空業減少碳足跡的強勁需求。

他補充道，可持續航空燃料對減少航空運輸的二氧化碳排放至關重要，其發展完全符合該公司到2050年實現凈零排放的氣候目標以及社會目標。這一消息是在本周巴黎航空展舉行之際宣布的，巴黎航空展是航空業最大的活動。

道達爾生產的SAF主要來自廢食用油，并在改造后的煉油廠生產。

盡管在航空業的脫碳戰略中發揮著關鍵作用，但SAF目前僅占全球航空燃料消耗的1%。

根據國際航空運輸協會的數據顯示，SAF可以將商業航空的碳排放量減少80%。

道達爾正在對其Grandpuits Zero-Crude煉油廠進行價值4億歐元(合4.37億美元)的改造，從2025年起，該煉油廠將使用食用油和動物脂肪每年生產21萬噸SAF。

該公司已經開始在其位于諾曼底的Gonfreville工廠從食用油中聯合加工SAF，到2025年，該工廠的年產量將達到4萬噸。

該公司還實施了一個3.4億歐元的項目，將其La Mède煉油廠改造成生物煉油廠。

上個月，波音公司首席執行官戴夫·卡爾霍恩告訴記者，SAF永遠不會像化石航空燃料那樣便宜，這對不斷發展的SAF行業是一個打擊。他補充道，價格可能會影響該行業的接受度。

TotalEnergies to produce 10% of world’s sustainable aviation fuel by 2030

The company has already converted three oil refineries to produce biofuels from used cooking oils.

TotalEnergies has announced a new target to produce 1.5 million tonnes (t) per year of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2030, which is expected to amount to 10% of the world’s SAF market by that year. The fuel will be manufactured in production units based in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, not including those already established in France. 

The company predicts that it will produce 500,000t of SAF per year by 2028 across all of its production units. “TotalEnergies is taking action to meet the strong demand from the aviation industry to reduce its carbon footprint,” said Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of TotalEnergies, in a statement.  

“Sustainable aviation fuel is essential to reducing the CO2 emissions of air transport, and its development is fully aligned with the company’s climate ambition to get to net zero by 2050, together with society,” he added. The announcement comes as the Paris Air Show takes place this week, the largest event dedicated to the aviation industry.  

SAF produced by TotalEnergies largely comes from used cooking oil and is produced in repurposed refineries.  

SAFs currently account for just 1% of global aviation fuel consumption, despite playing a key role in the aviation industry’s decarbonisation strategy. 

According to the International Air Transport Association, SAFs can reduce the carbon emissions of commercial aviation by up to 80%. 

TotalEnergies is conducting a €400m ($437m) conversion of its Grandpuits Zero-Crude reinfery, which will produce 210,000t of SAF per year from 2025 using cooking oil and animal fat. 

The company has already begun co-processing SAF from cooking oil at its Gonfreville factory in Normandy, where annual production is due to reach 40,000t by 2025. 

It has also conducted a €340m project to convert its La Mède refinery into a biorefinery. 

Last month, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun issued a blow to the growing SAF industry when he told reporters that SAF will never be as cheap as fossil-based jet fuels. He added that the price point may affect uptake in the industry.
