I-Airbus ixhasa inguqu yoMkhosi woMoya waseJamani ukuya kumafutha eenqwelomoya azinzileyo 

Airbus ixhasa uMkhosi woMoya waseJamani kwinguqu yawo yexesha elide ukunyusa uzinzo kwiinqwelo zawo zeenqwelomoya. I-Airbus isebenzisana noMbutho woMoya waseJamani ekuboneleleni iLuftwaffe isibonelelo sobugcisa ukuze iqalise ulingo lwenqwelomoya lwe-A400M lukazwelonke ngemithwalo ukuya kuthi ga kwi-50 yepesenti ye-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) kungekudala. I-SAF yenye i-fuel eqinisekisiweyo enokunciphisa umjikelo wobomi ukukhutshwa kwe-CO2 ukuya kuthi ga kwi-85 yeepesenti xa kuthelekiswa namafutha aqhelekileyo.

Ngaloo nto, iJamani, eneeyunithi ezingama-53 zizonke, iba lilizwe lokuqala labathengi ukuphehlelela utshintsho oluthe chu kwi-SAF kwiinqwelo zabo ze-A400M ezisebenzayo.

“Injongo yeLuftwaffe kukusungula utshintsho olusingise kuzinzo lwezithuthi zabo. Umsebenzi wabo ngowethu.”

"Siyakuvuyela ukuxhasa le migudu ebalulekileyo, kungekhona kuphela kwi-A400M kodwa yonke inqwelo yeenqwelo-moya ze-Airbus, ukusuka kwi-VIP yokuthutha ukuya kwiijethi zokulwa," kusho uMike Schoellhorn, iGosa eliLawulayo le-Airbus Defense and Space.

“Ukuqhubela phambili kwikamva elizinzileyo ngumsebenzi ongundoqo womntu wonke. Ukutshintsha ukusuka kwikerosene esekwe kwipetroleum ukuya kumafutha azinzileyo kudlala indima enkulu kwiinzame zenqwelomoya zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kweCO2. Iinqwelomoya zethu zikarhulumente sele zikhutshiwe kwiSAF. Ukusebenza ngokusondeleyo noshishino sinqwenela ukuba ekugqibeleni siqinisekise i-A400M ngokunjalo. Xa sijonga kwixesha elizayo sixhasa yonke imisebenzi yokwazisa i-SAF kwinqwelo yethu yonke kuquka neenqwelomoya ezikhawulezayo”, utshilo uLt.Gen. Ingo Gerhartz, iNtloko yoMkhosi woMoya waseJamani.

Ngaphandle kokuxhasa imisebenzi yabathengi kazwelonke, Airbus iqalise indlela yexesha elide ekuphumezeni i-100 lepesenti yokulungela i-SAF kunye nesiqinisekiso se-A400M.

Njengenyathelo lokuqala, kwi-2022, i-Airbus icwangcisa uhambo lokuhamba lovavanyo lwenqwelomoya ye-A400M enomthwalo wamafutha ukuya kuthi ga kwi-50 yepesenti ye-SAF. Olu hambo lokubhabha lokuqala luya kuqhutywa ngenjini enye ukuvavanya ngcono ukuziphatha kwenqwelomoya iyonke. Ekugqityweni ngempumelelo kwenqwelomoya ye-injini enye, i-Airbus ilindele ukuqhubeka nezilingo ezine zeenjini ngo-2023.

Nje ukuba imisebenzi yovavanyo igqitywe ngesiseko seenjini ezine, iqonga le-A400M liya kuvunyelwa ngokusesikweni kubathengi abanokufikelela kwi-50 pesenti ye-SAF.

Ngaphezu koko, i-Airbus, i-OCCAR kunye neZizwe ze-A400M zibandakanyeka kwiingxoxo zokuqala zokuphuhlisa imephu yendlela eya kwi-certification kunye nokusetyenziswa okusebenzayo kwe-100 yepesenti ye-SAF.

Oku ngokucacileyo yinto engayi kwenzeka ngokukhawuleza. Olu hlobo lwamafutha kufuneka luqale luvavanywe ngobuchule ngumenzi we-injini phambi kokuba siqalise ngovavanyo lokubhabha ukuze siqinisekise iinjini ze-TP 400M ze-100 lepesenti ye-SAF. Namhlanje, olu hlobo lwesibaso alukafanelwanga ngokupheleleyo okanye luvavanywe. Sikumanqanaba okuqala okukhangela ukwenzeka kokuqala”, utshilo uSchoellhorn. "Esi sicwangciso somgangatho we-injini siya kudityaniswa nemisebenzi yovavanyo lwenqwelomoya efunekayo kwinqanaba le-Airbus kwisiqinisekiso sokugqibela se-A400M." 

Ngaphambili kwi-2022, i-Airbus Defense kunye ne-Space yenza indiza yokuqala ye-C295 Flight Test Bed, iprojekthi yoPhando kunye noPhuhliso lwe-European Clean Sky 2, ejolise ekusetyenzisweni kobuchwephesha obutsha kunye nezixhobo zokuphumeza ingxolo, i-CO2 kunye nokunciphisa i-NOx. Nge-C295, i-Airbus inenjongo yokuqhuba umkhankaso wokuvavanya iindiza kunye neepesenti ze-50 ze-SAF kwi-2022 kunye ne-100 yepesenti ye-SAF kwi-2023.
