首次使用 100% 绿色燃料的跨大西洋航班即将起飞

Share:

首架完全由可持续燃料提供动力的跨大西洋航班定于周二上午起飞。该航班由维珍航空运营,将从伦敦希思罗机场飞往纽约肯尼迪国际机场。航空公司认为这次飞行证明了更环保的飞行方式是可能的。

可持续航空燃料(SAF)可以由多种来源制成,例如农作物、生活垃圾和食用油。这次飞行的飞机是波音787,将装满50吨的SAF,其中88%来自废脂肪,其余来自美国的玉米生产废物。

经过测试和分析,该航班获得了英国监管机构民航局的批准。包括劳斯莱斯和英国石油公司在内的几家公司都参与了该项目。

航空业将SAF视为将其净排放量降至零的最有效方法。尽管飞机在使用SAF时仍会排放碳,但该行业声称这些燃料的 “生命周期排放” 可以减少多达70%。

目前,SAF少量使用,与传统喷气燃料混合使用,占全球航空燃料消耗量的不到0.1%。它比煤油更昂贵,而且产量有限。

英国政府计划到2025年建造五座商用SAF工厂,并计划到2030年要求10%的航空燃料为SAF。但是,专家警告说,SAF并不是解决该行业排放问题的神奇解决方案。

克兰菲尔德大学航空与环境副教授盖伊·格拉顿博士说,应将使用SAF视为迈向未来真正的净零技术的垫脚石。

代表英国注册航空公司的英国航空公司表示,他们需要获得足够实惠的SAF,以满足2030年的要求。他们还强调了从英国采购尽可能多的SAF的重要性,以避免英国乘客的燃料成本上涨和潜在的失业。

环保活动家认为,减少排放的最快方法是减少飞行。但是,英国部长和业界认为,即使旅客人数增加,到2050年仍可以实现 “净零”。
