iBoeing kunye ne-Etihad Airways iqukumbele uvavanyo kwinkqubo ye-ecoDemonstrator yenkampani ye-aerospace yowama-2020 kwiveki ephelileyo ngenqwelomoya enqumla ilizwe isebenzisa umdibaniso wama-50/50 wamafutha ejethi azinzileyo kunye nesiqhelo.
Ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya ukusuka eSeattle ukuya kwindawo yokuvelisa iBoeing eSouth Carolina, i-Etihad entsha ye-787-10 Dreamliner isebenzise umxube wamafutha ozinzileyo ovumelekileyo kwindiza yezorhwebo. Inqwelomoya ehamba ngenqwelomoya ikwabonakalise indlela entsha yabaqhubi beenqwelo moya, abalawuli bezithuthi zomoya kunye namaziko okusebenza kwenqwelomoya ukunxibelelana ngaxeshanye nokwandisa umzila.
U-Mohammad Al Bulooki, iGosa eliyiNtloko le-Etihad Aviation Group uthe: “Sikunye neBoeing kunye namaqabane eenqwelo-moya kuzwelonke asebenzisana namafutha e-World Energy kunye ne-EPIC, i-Etihad isebenzise iilitha ezingama-50,000 50 zomxube wama-50/787 wamafutha eenqwelo-moya ezinzileyo kuhambo lokugqibela lwe-ecoDemonstrator yethu. Uvavanyo lweenqwelomoya ezingama-10-50. Eli linyathelo elibalulekileyo eliya phambili ukuba eli candelo libonakalise ukusebenza kokuvelisa umxube wama-50/XNUMX wamafutha endalo azinzileyo [SAF] ngomthamo omkhulu, umzuzu obalulekileyo kolu shishino. ”
U-Al Bulooki wongeze wathi: “Lo ngumzekelo ophambili wentsebenziswano kumzi-mveliso ngokubhekisele kwindiza ezinzileyo kunye nezinto ezintsha. Ukusebenzisana kuka-Etihad no-Boeing kwinkqubo ye-ecoDemonstrator ibe lithuba elikhethekileyo lokukhokela ukuqhuba kweshishini leenqwelomoya kwikamva elizinzileyo. ”
Inkqubo ye-Boeing ye-ecoDemonstrator ithatha itekhnoloji ethembisayo kwilebhu kwaye ibavavanye emoyeni ukukhawulezisa ubuchule. Inkqubo yalo nyaka ivavanye iiprojekthi ezine ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kunye nengxolo kunye nokuphucula ukhuseleko kunye nempilo yabakhweli nabasebenzi. Zonke iinqwelomoya zovavanyo eziyi-787-10 zisebenzisa umxube wepetroli yendabuko kunye nepetroli ezinzileyo eveliswa kwinkunkuma yezolimo engenakutyiwa ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa, kunye nenqwelomoya yokugqibela esebenza kumgangatho ophezulu wama-50/50.
"Amafutha ogcino lweeenqwelo moya azinzileyo ayangqinwa kwaye asebenza kwiinqwelomoya ezibhabha namhlanje kunye neziza kubhabha ngomso, kodwa kunqabile ukubonelelwa," utshilo uSheila Remes, usekela mongameli weqhinga kwiBeeing Commercial Airplanes. "I-World Energy yenza isixa sorhwebo se-petroli egcinekayo ngamaxabiso okhuphiswano, isebenzisa urhulumente inkuthazo yekhabhoni ephantsi ukukhawulezisa imveliso kunye nokusetyenziswa kwishishini elixhomekeke kumafutha olwelo."
Amafutha avela kwiLizwe lezaMandla kwaye abonelelwa kwiBoeing yi-EPIC Fuels iqinisekisiwe yiRoundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni ngaphezulu kwama-75% kumjikelo wobomi bamafutha.
"Siyavuyisana neBoeing kunye ne-Etihad ngobunkokheli babo kushishino ekuncedeni ukutyhala imida yezobuchwephesha kunye nokuzinza kweSAF," utshilo uBryan Sherbacow, igosa eliyintloko kwezorhwebo kwiWorld Energy. "Lo mxube wama-50/50 ubonakalisa ukuhla okuphezulu okunokufikelelwa kuncitshiswa irhasi efumanekayo efumaneka kurhwebo namhlanje."
Ubambiswano phakathi kwe-Boeing kunye ne-Etihad Airways imele intsebenziswano ende yokwenza ukubhabha kube nokuzinzileyo. Ezi nkampani zimbini beziphakathi kwamahlakani awasungula iSustainable Bioenergy Research Consortium ngowama-2010. Ngokusekwe kwiYunivesithi yaseKhalifa kufutshane nase-Abu Dhabi, iprojekthi yokulinga yenkqubo eyodwa yentlango ivelisa amafutha azinzileyo kwizityalo ezikhula entlango, unkcenkceshelwa ngamanzi olwandle aselunxwemeni. U-Etihad wasebenzisa ibhetshi yokuqala yepetroli kwiprojekthi yokulinga ngoJanuwari 2019 ngenqwelomoya yabakhweli ukusuka e-Abu Dhabi ukuya eAmsterdam.
NgoJanuwari 2020, i-Etihad yathatha utyikityo lwayo oluluhlaza 787-10 isebenzisa umxube wepetroli oquka i-30% ye-SAF eveliswe nguMbane weHlabathi.
U-Boeing ebeyinkokeli kwimizamo yecandelo lokuphuhlisa amafutha eenqwelo-moya ezinzileyo ukusukela phambi kovavanyo lokuqala lwenqwelomoya kwinqwelo-moya yorhwebo ngo-2008. Ekunye nabanye abakweli shishini, inkampani isebenze ukufumana isatifikethi sepetroli esisigxina kusetyenziso lwentengiso ngo-2011 kwaye iyasebenzisana umhlaba ukwenza imephu yendlela yemveliso yommandla.
Ngaphezulu kweshumi leminyaka, i-World Energy kunye nee-EPIC Fuels zivelise kwaye zabonelela ngeSAF kwiBoeing kuvavanyo lwenqwelomoya. I-Boeing inikezela ngeenqwelo moya ukuba zikhethe ukusebenzisa ipetroli ezinzileyo kwiinqwelomoya zabo zokuhambisa. Eyokuqala kwezi yenzeke ngo-2012 ngenqwelomoya ye-Etihad 777-300ER esuka e-Everett, eWashington, eya e-Abu Dhabi.
I-Boeing yeyona nkampani inkulu ye-aerospace kunye nomnikezeli ophambili wenqwelomoya, ukhuselo, indawo kunye neenkqubo zokhuseleko, kunye neenkonzo zehlabathi. Njengomthengisi ophezulu waseMelika, inkampani ixhasa abathengi kunye nabathengi kurhulumente kumazwe angaphezu kwe-150. I-Boeing iqeshe abantu abangaphezu kwe-160,000 kwihlabathi liphela kwaye iphakamise iitalente zesiseko sabanikezeli behlabathi. Ukwakha kwilifa lobunkokheli be-aerospace, i-Boeing iyaqhubeka ukukhokela kwitekhnoloji kunye nokuyila, inikezela abathengi bayo kwaye ityale imali kubantu bayo nakukhula kwexesha elizayo.
