埃尼推出可持续航空燃料生产

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据NS能源10月18日消息，埃尼集团计划在四年内将其目前110万吨/年的生物炼油能力翻一番。

　　埃尼已启动可替代可持续航空燃料(SAF)的生产，这将在中短期内对航空脱碳做出重大贡献。埃尼SAF完全由废弃物和残留物生产，符合该公司从2023年起不使用棕榈油的战略决策。

　　埃尼计划在四年内将其目前110万吨/年的生物炼油能力翻一番，到2050年将其增加到500万吨~600万吨/年。根据行业情况和市场趋势，所谓的生物燃料“biojet”将在产品组合中发挥重要作用，其目标是到2030年达到至少50万吨/年的生物燃料生产能力。

　　埃尼集团首席执行官Claudio Descalzi表示:“这是我们脱碳之旅中一个非常重要的里程碑，充分体现了我们对能源转型的务实态度。这一方法涉及使用技术来减少航空等行业的排放，这些行业排放高，但同时也需要培育，因为它们对增长和发展至关重要。我们致力于成为能源转型的技术领导者，利用现有技术和资产，这是朝着这个方向迈出的又一步，也是系统层面的重要贡献。”

　　最初，SAF在塔兰托的埃尼炼油厂生产，占0.5%的UCO(废弃食用油)份额，占欧盟“Fit For 55”一揽子计划中提议的2%的生物成分份额。这是埃尼集团承诺的第一步，也是其承诺的一部分。埃尼集团承诺到2050年在所有行业实现所有产品和工艺的脱碳，包括一些最具挑战性的行业，如航空、重型车辆和海洋行业。

　　塔兰托炼油厂的SAF目前通过0.5%的UCO共投料工艺生产。根据可再生能源指令II，与标准的化石混合原料相比，产品中的生物份额通常可以减少90%以上的温室气体排放。该产品已在塔兰托的炼油厂储罐中使用，将出售给主要航空公司，首先是ITA，这得益于该行业领先运营商的支持，如Aeroporti di Roma。

　　通过使用埃尼专有的Ecofining?技术，对埃尼位于Gela和Porto Marghera(威尼斯)的生物炼油厂生产的生物成分进行蒸馏，埃尼的SAF产量将在2022年初开始超过1万吨/年。使用的原材料将全部是UCO或脂肪等废弃物。这种产品被称为“Eni Biojet”，含有100%的生物成分，可以与传统航空燃料以高达50%的混合比例混合。

　　随着2024年在Gela生物精炼厂投产“Eni Biojet”，该项目已经在进行中，将从100%可再生原材料中进一步引进15万吨SAF，到2025年能够满足意大利市场的潜在需求。

　　Eni launches sustainable aviation fuel production

　　Eni plans to double its current bio-refining capacity of 1.1 million tonnes/year within the four-year period.

　　Eni has launched the production of alternative sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that will significantly contribute to the decarbonization of aviation in the short to medium term. Eni SAFs are produced exclusively from waste and residues, in line with the company’s strategic decision not to use palm oil from 2023.

　　Eni plans to double its current bio-refining capacity of 1.1 million tonnes/year within the four-year period and increase it to 5/6 million tonnes/year by 2050. The so-called biojet will play a significant role in the product mix, in line with industry scenarios and market trends, and the aim is to reach a production capacity of at least 500 thousand tonnes/year of biojet by 2030.

　　Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni, stated: “This is a very important milestone in our journey to decarbonize and fully reflects our pragmatic approach to the energy transition. This approach involves using technology to cut emissions in sectors such as aviation, which are high emitters but at the same time need to be nurtured because they are crucial to growth and development. We are committed to being a technological leader in the energy transition, leveraging existing skills and assets, and this is a further step in that direction, as well as an important contribution at system level”.

　　Initially, SAF is being produced at the Eni refinery in Taranto, with a 0.5% share of UCO (used cooking oils), contributing to the 2% share of bio component proposed as part of the EU “Fit For 55” package. This is a first step and part of Eni’s commitment to the decarbonization of all its products and processes by 2050 for all sectors, including some of the most challenging such as the aviation, heavy vehicles and marine sectors.

　　SAF from the Taranto refinery is currently produced through a 0.5% UCO co-feeding process for conventional plants. According to the Renewable Energy Directive II, the bio share in the product typically allows for a more than 90% reduction in GHG emissions compared to standard fossil mix feedstock. This product, already available in Taranto refinery tanks, will be sold to major airlines, firstly ITA, thanks to the support of leading operators in the sector such as Aeroporti di Roma.

　　Eni’s SAF production will continue to grow with the start of production of over 10 thousand tonnes/year of SAF at Eni’s Livorno refinery in early 2022, through the distillation of bio-components produced in Eni’s bio-refineries in Gela and Porto Marghera (Venice) using Eni’s proprietary Ecofining? technology. The raw materials used will be exclusively waste products such as UCO or fats. This product, called “Eni Biojet”, contains 100% biogenic component and can be combined with conventional jet fuel in an up to 50% mix.

　　Growth will continue with the launch, in 2024, of “Eni Biojet” production at the Gela biorefinery, where a project is already underway for the introduction of a further 150 thousand tonnes/year of SAF from 100% renewable raw materials, capable of meeting the Italian market’s potential obligation by 2025.
