100% 친환경 연료를 사용한 최초의 대서양 횡단 항공편 이륙 예정

Share:

전적으로 지속 가능한 연료로만 구동되는 최초의 대서양 횡단 항공편이 화요일 아침에 이륙할 예정입니다.버진아틀란틱이 운항하는 이 항공편은 런던 히드로에서 뉴욕 JFK 공항으로 이동합니다.항공사들은 이 비행을 보다 친환경적인 비행 방식이 가능하다는 증거로 보고 있습니다.

지속 가능한 항공 연료 (SAF) 는 농작물, 가정 쓰레기, 식용유와 같은 다양한 공급원에서 만들 수 있습니다.이번 비행을 위한 비행기인 보잉 787에는 50톤의 SAF가 채워질 예정이며, 이 중 88% 는 폐지방에서 추출되고 나머지는 미국의 옥수수 생산 폐기물에서 추출됩니다.

이 비행은 테스트와 분석을 거쳐 영국 규제 기관인 민간 항공국의 승인을 받았습니다.롤스로이스와 BP를 비롯한 여러 회사가 이 프로젝트에 참여했습니다.

항공 업계에서는 SAF가 순 배출량을 0으로 줄이는 가장 효과적인 방법으로 보고 있습니다.항공기는 SAF를 사용할 때 여전히 탄소를 배출하지만, 업계에서는 이러한 연료의 “라이프사이클 배출량”을 최대 70% 까지 낮출 수 있다고 주장합니다.

현재 SAF는 기존 제트 연료와 혼합하여 소량 사용되고 있으며, 전 세계적으로 소비되는 항공 연료의 0.1% 미만을 차지합니다.등유보다 비싸고 생산량도 제한적입니다.

영국 정부는 2025년까지 상업용 SAF 공장 5곳을 건설할 계획이며, 2030년까지 항공 연료의 10% 를 SAF로 사용하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.그러나 전문가들은 SAF가 업계의 배기가스 문제를 해결하는 마법 같은 해결책이 아니라고 경고합니다.

크랜필드 대학교의 항공 및 환경 부교수인 가이 그래튼 박사는 SAF의 사용이 진정한 넷 제로 기술을 위한 미래의 디딤돌로 간주되어야 한다고 말했습니다.

영국 등록 항공사를 대표하는 Airlines UK는 2030년 요건을 충족하기 위해서는 충분히 저렴한 SAF를 이용할 수 있어야 한다고 말했습니다.또한 영국 승객의 연료비 상승과 잠재적 일자리 손실을 방지하기 위해 영국에서 가능한 한 많은 SAF를 조달하는 것이 중요하다고 강조했습니다.

환경 운동가들은 배기가스 배출을 줄이는 가장 빠른 방법은 비행을 줄이는 것이라고 주장합니다.그러나 영국 장관들과 업계에서는 승객 수가 증가하더라도 2050년까지 “넷 제로”를 달성할 수 있다고 믿고 있습니다.
