據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)站3月25日報道 Aemtis宣布稱，已與航空聯(lián)盟寰宇一家成員芬蘭航空公司簽署了一項承購協(xié)議，在協(xié)議的7年期限內(nèi)交付1750萬加侖的混合可持續(xù)航空燃料 (SAF)，合同價值約為7000萬美元。

與石油噴氣燃料相比，SAF提供了顯著的環(huán)境效益，包括較低的生命周期碳足跡和排放量。根據(jù)該協(xié)議，供應(yīng)的混合SAF為40%SAF和60%傳統(tǒng)石油燃料，以滿足國際混合標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

芬蘭航空可持續(xù)發(fā)展高級副總裁 Eveliina Huurre表示：“芬蘭航空制定了一個雄心勃勃的長期目標(biāo)，即在2045年實現(xiàn)碳中和，而SAF是實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)的重要組成部分。支持SAF的采用是促進SAF供需和增加其在商業(yè)航空中的使用的關(guān)鍵。該協(xié)議還強調(diào)了航空聯(lián)盟寰宇一家對集體采購SAF的承諾。”

SAF預(yù)計將由位于加利福尼亞州河岸的一個125英畝的前美國陸軍彈藥生產(chǎn)廠址開發(fā)中的Aemetis可再生噴氣/柴油工廠生產(chǎn)?；旌闲蚐AF計劃于2025年開始向芬蘭航空交付。

Aemetics董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官Eric McAfee表示：“向芬蘭航空供應(yīng)可持續(xù)航空燃料是與航空聯(lián)盟寰宇一家成員簽訂的20億美元合同的一部分，旨在減少航空對環(huán)境的影響。加州低碳燃料標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的歷史性成功使我們在加州生產(chǎn)低碳航空燃料成為可能，為該州弱勢少數(shù)民族社區(qū)創(chuàng)造了新的投資和就業(yè)機會。”

位于河岸廠區(qū)的Aemetis零碳生產(chǎn)工廠由100%可再生電力供電，旨在使用注入井隔離生產(chǎn)過程中的二氧化碳，從而顯著降低可再生燃料的碳強度。

Aemetis to supply Finnair with 17.5 MMg of SAF

Aemetis announced that an offtake agreement has been signed with oneworld Alliance airline member Finnair for 17.5 MMg of blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to be delivered over the 7 year term of the agreement. The value of the contract including incentives is approximately $70 MM.

SAF provides significant environmental benefits compared to petroleum jet fuel, including a lower lifecycle carbon footprint and reduced contrails. The blended SAF to be supplied under this agreement is 40% SAF and 60% Petroleum Jet A to meet international blending standards.

“Finnair has set an ambitious long-term target to fly carbon neutral in 2045 and SAF is an important part of the toolkit for reaching this target. Supporting SAF adoption is key to boosting the supply and demand for SAF and for increasing its usage in commercial aviation. The agreement also underlines the oneworld Alliance’s commitment to collectively source SAF,” said Eveliina Huurre, SVP Sustainability at Finnair.

The SAF is expected to be produced by the Aemetis renewable jet/diesel plant under development on a 125 acre former U.S. Army Ammunition production plant site in Riverbank, California. The blended SAF is scheduled to begin deliveries to Finnair in 2025.

“The supply of sustainable aviation fuel to Finnair is a part of $2 B of contracts with oneworld Alliance members to reduce the environmental impact of aviation,” said Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis. “Our production of low carbon aviation fuel in California is made possible by the historical success of the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard, creating new investment and jobs in disadvantaged minority communities in the state.”

Powered by 100% renewable electricity, the Aemetis carbon zero production plant at the Riverbank plant site is designed to sequester CO2 from the production process using injection wells, significantly reducing the carbon intensity of the renewable fuel.
