南非薩索爾將開發(fā)生產(chǎn)環(huán)保航空燃料

　　據(jù)ICIS-MRC網(wǎng)站4月16日莫斯科報道，根據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)站信息顯示，薩索爾公司（Sasol ）宣布將與由林德（Linde），ENERTRAG和Navitas控股公司（Navitas）組成的LEN財團合作，在德國聯(lián)邦政府H2Global 拍賣平臺的支持下，對可持續(xù)航空燃料（SAF）的生產(chǎn)進行概念性投標。

　　LEN財團將使薩索爾能夠與世界級的合作伙伴合作，利用其豐富的經(jīng)驗，用費托（FT）技術生產(chǎn)液體燃料和化學品。SAF是航空業(yè)脫碳的關鍵，人們普遍認為航空業(yè)是減少溫室氣體排放最具挑戰(zhàn)性的行業(yè)之一。SAF的生產(chǎn)采用了電轉液(PTL)工藝，該工藝依賴于可持續(xù)的碳原料(生物質或其他不可避免的工業(yè)二氧化碳源)的供應，以及利用可再生能源通過電解生產(chǎn)綠色氫。碳和氫被轉化為合成氣，一種一氧化碳和氫的混合物，然后通過FT工藝轉化為長鏈碳氫化合物，用于生產(chǎn)航空燃料或SAF。

　　H2Global平臺已經(jīng)為生產(chǎn)綠色氫及其衍生物所需的項目以及由此生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品出口到德國的項目開發(fā)了一個雙重拍賣系統(tǒng)框架。H2Global將使綠色氫項目能夠在南非等指定國家建立。

　　作為FT技術、許可和運營領域的全球領導者，Sasol正與其財團合作伙伴探討在其Secunda合成燃料工廠生產(chǎn)SAF的可行性。該項目將利用薩索爾的現(xiàn)有設施、FT工藝的深厚技術訣竅和下游加工能力。

　　薩索爾總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官Fleetwood Grobler表示，應對氣候變化的行動是薩索爾戰(zhàn)略的核心，我們將繼續(xù)采取重大措施，減少生產(chǎn)過程中產(chǎn)生的溫室氣體排放。探索在我們的Secunda工廠建立SAF生產(chǎn)示范設施的決定符合我們的長期脫碳戰(zhàn)略。綠色氫是我們通過各種戰(zhàn)略示范機會和伙伴關系正在與之合作的關鍵過渡燃料來源之一。H2Global財團為我們提供了一個強大的平臺來支持這些新技術及其應用和市場的開發(fā)。

　　Sasol plans to develop production of environmentally friendly aviation fuel

　　Sasol announced it will work alongside a consortium comprising Linde PLC (Linde), ENERTRAG AG (ENERTRAG) and Navitas Holdings (Pty) Ltd (Navitas) – the LEN Consortium – to bid in concept for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) under the auspices of the German Federal Government’s H2Global auction platform, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.

　　The LEN Consortium will enable Sasol to work with world-class partners on the opportunity, employing its extensive experience to produce liquid fuels and chemicals with Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology. SAF is key to decarbonizing the aviation sector, which is widely viewed as one of the most challenging sectors in which to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. SAF production employs a Power to Liquid (PTL) process, which relies on the supply of a sustainable carbon feedstock (biomass or other unavoidable industrial carbon dioxide sources) and the production of green hydrogen through electrolysis using renewable energy. The carbon and hydrogen are converted to synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which in turn is converted to longer chain hydrocarbons for the production of jet fuel or SAF via the FT process.

　　The H2Global platform has developed a framework for double auction systems for required projects to produce green hydrogen and its derivatives, as well as the importation of the resulting products into Germany. H2Global will enable green hydrogen projects to be established in designated countries, such as South Africa.

　　Sasol, as a global leader in FT technology, licensing and operations, is exploring the feasibility of SAF production at its Secunda Synfuels plant with its consortium partners. The project would leverage Sasol’s existing facilities, deep technical know-how in the FT process and downstream processing capabilities.

　　"Action on climate change is central to Sasol’s strategy, and we continue to take significant steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated in our production processes," said Fleetwood Grobler, Sasol President and CEO.

　　Grobler added: “The decision to explore the creation of a SAF production demonstration facility at our Secunda Operations is aligned with our long-term decarbonization strategy. Green hydrogen is one of the key transitional fuel sources that we are working with via various strategic demonstration opportunities and partnerships. The H2Global consortium provides us with a powerful platform to support the development of these new technologies and their applications and markets.
