據(jù)阿拉伯貿(mào)易2月8日消息稱，波音宣布與EPIC燃料公司達(dá)成一項(xiàng)200萬加侖(750萬升)的混合可持續(xù)航空燃料(SAF)供應(yīng)協(xié)議，到2022年為其在美國的商業(yè)飛機(jī)提供動(dòng)力。

該協(xié)議是飛機(jī)制造商宣布的規(guī)模最大的SAF采購，進(jìn)一步表明波音對航空脫碳的承諾。

波音公司環(huán)境可持續(xù)性部門副總裁Sheila Remes 說：“SAF是一種安全、可靠、立桿見影的解決方案，將有助于實(shí)現(xiàn)我們行業(yè)到2050年實(shí)現(xiàn)凈零碳排放的長期承諾。波音公司一直是實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)航空燃料的先鋒。通過這項(xiàng)協(xié)議，我們將減少我們的碳足跡，并為客戶交付SAF，以及我們自己的運(yùn)營。”

可持續(xù)生產(chǎn)的航空燃料，可以在燃料的使用周期內(nèi)減少80%的二氧化碳排放，并有可能在未來達(dá)到100%，被廣泛認(rèn)為是未來20到30年內(nèi)實(shí)現(xiàn)航空脫碳的最直接和最大的潛力。

Boeing buys 2m gallons of green aviation fuel

Boeing has announced a supply agreement for two million gallons (7.5 million litres) of blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with EPIC Fuels to power its commercial airplanes operations in the US through 2022.

The agreement is the largest announced SAF procurement by an airframer and further demonstrates Boeing's commitment to decarbonising aviation.

"SAF is a safe, proven, immediate solution that will help achieve our industry's long-term commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050," said Sheila Remes, Boeing vice president of Environmental Sustainability. "Boeing has been a pioneer in making sustainable aviation fuels a reality. Through this agreement we will reduce our carbon footprint and have SAF available for customer deliveries as well as our own operations."

Sustainably produced jet fuel, which reduces CO2 emissions by as much as 80% over the fuel's life cycle with the potential to reach 100% in the future, is widely recognized as offering the most immediate and greatest potential to decarbonise aviation over the next 20 to 30 years.
