I-Airbus kunye ne-LanzaJet, inkampani ehamba phambili ye-fuel technology technology, namhlanje ibhengeze ukuba bangene kwimemorandam yokuqonda (MOU) ukujongana neemfuno zecandelo lezomoya ngokuveliswa kwamafutha e-aviation azinzileyo (SAF).
I-MOU iseka ubudlelwane phakathi kwe-Airbus kunye neLanzaJet ukuqhubela phambili ukwakhiwa kwezixhobo ze-SAF eziza kusebenzisa iteknoloji yeLanzaJet ekhokelayo, eqinisekisiweyo, kunye nobunini be-Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ). Esi sivumelwano sikwajolise ekukhawuleziseni uqinisekiso kunye nokwamkelwa kwe-100% ye-SAF eya kuthi ivumele iinqwelomoya ezikhoyo ukuba zibhabhe ngaphandle kwamafutha efosili. Ishishini lenqwelomoya linoxanduva malunga ne-2-3% yokukhutshwa kwekharbon diokside yehlabathi, kwaye i-SAF ichongwe ziinkampani zeenqwelomoya, oorhulumente, kunye neenkokeli zamandla, njengenye yezisombululo ezikhawulezileyo zokususa inqwelomoya, kunye nokuhlaziywa kweenqwelomoya zamva nje. ukuvelisa iinqwelomoya kunye nokusebenza okungcono.
"I-SAF sesona sisombululo sisondele kakhulu ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kweenqwelomoya kwaye le ntsebenziswano phakathi kweLanzaJet kunye ne-Airbus linyathelo elibalulekileyo eliya phambili ekulweni nokutshintsha kwemozulu kunye nokwenza ukuba utshintsho lwamandla emhlabeni jikelele," kusho uJimmy Samartzis, i-CEO yeLanzaJet. "Sijonge phambili ekuqhubekeni nomsebenzi wethu ne-Airbus kwaye sikhulise ngakumbi impembelelo yethu edibeneyo kwihlabathi liphela."
Itekhnoloji ye-ATJ yobunini beLanzaJet isebenzisa i-ethanol enekhabhoni ephantsi ukwenza iSAF ecutha ukukhutshwa kwerhasi yegreenhouse ngaphezulu kwama-70% epesenti xa kuthelekiswa namafutha efosili kwaye inokunciphisa ngakumbi ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni ngesuti yetekhnoloji yokunciphisa ikhabhoni. I-SAF eveliswe ngobuchwepheshe be-ATJ yeLanzaJet sisibaso esivunyiweyo sokulahla esihambelanayo nenqwelomoya esele ikho kunye neziseko zoncedo.
“Siyavuya ukukhulisa ubambiswano lwethu neLanzaJet, inkampani ekhokelayo kwinkqubo yemveliso ye-SAF. Kwi-Airbus sizimisele ukuxhasa i-SAF njengeyona nto iphambili ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwe-CO2 kwindlela ye-decarbonisation, "utsho uJulie Kitcher, i-EVP, iMicimbi yoShishino kunye noZinzo kwi-Airbus. “Nge-LanzaJet njengeqabane elithembekileyo, sinokuxhasa ukukhawuleziswa kwendlela yokuvelisa i-Alcohol-to-Jet ye-SAF kunye nakwizinga. Le ntsebenziswano iya kuphonononga uphuhliso lwetekhnoloji ukuze inqwelomoya ye-Airbus ikwazi ukubhabha iye kuthi ga kwi-100% ye-SAF ngaphambi kokuphela kweshumi leminyaka.
I-ecosystem iyonke idlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuqinisekiseni ukwanda kokuthathwa kwe-SAF. Ngaphandle kokusebenza kwimiba yobugcisa kunye neeprojekthi ezibambekayo ze-SAF, iLanzaJet kunye ne-Airbus ziya kuphanda ngamathuba oshishino kwihlabathi liphela kunye neenqwelomoya kunye nabanye abachaphazelekayo.
