Kuqala ukubhabha i-100% yovavanyo lokukhutshwa kwezibaso zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya kwinqwelo yabahambi

• Iphulo 'lokuPhuma kunye neMpembelelo yeMozulu yeeFutha eziNye' (ECLIF3) liphehlelelwe
• Olu phononongo luya kwenziwa kusetyenziswa inqwelo moya yeAirbus A350-900 exhaswa ziiRoll-Royce Trent XWB iinjini.
• Uvavanyo lweinjini zokucoca ipetroli luqale kumaziko eAirbus eToulouse, eFrance kule veki

Iqela leengcali ze-aerospace lisungule uphando lokuqala lokukhutshwa kwenqwelomoya kusetyenziswa i-100% yezibaso ezizinzileyo zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya (SAF) kwinqwelomoya yomkhweli ebanzi.

Airbus, IZiko lophando laseJamani i-DLR, iRoll-Royce kunye nomvelisi weSAF uNeste badibanisene ukuqala iprojekthi yoovulindlela 'yokuPhuma kunye neMpembelelo yeMozulu yeeFutha eziNye' (ECLIF3) ejonge kwiziphumo ze-100% ye-SAF kwimveliso yeenqwelomoya kunye nokusebenza.

Iziphumo ezivela kolu phando-eziza kwenziwa emhlabeni kunye nasemoyeni kusetyenziswa inqwelo moya yeAirbus A350-900 enikwe amandla ziiRoll-Royce Trent XWB iinjini- iya kuxhasa iinzame eziqhubeka ngoku e-Airbus naseRoll-Royce ukuqinisekisa ukuba icandelo lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya lilungile ekusetyenzisweni okukhulu kwe-SAF njengenxalenye yephulo elibanzi lokwenza ishishini libe yidekhoni. 

Uvavanyo lweinjini zokucoca ipetroli, kubandakanya inqwelomoya yokuqala yokujonga ukuhambelana kokusebenzisa i-100% yeSAF kunye neenkqubo zenqwelomoya, eziqale kumaziko eAirbus eToulouse, eFrance, kule veki. Oku kuya kulandelwa luvavanyo lokukhutshwa kwenqwelomoya ngenxa yokuqalisa ngo-Epreli kwaye kuqalise kwakhona ngeVumba, kusetyenziswa i-DLR's Falcon 20-E 'ukugxotha inqwelo moya' ukwenza imilinganiselo yokuphanda ifuthe lokukhutshwa kokusebenzisa i-SAF. Ngeli xesha, olunye uvavanyo lomhlaba lokulinganisa ukukhutshwa kwemeko-bume lusetelwe ukubonisa ifuthe lokusetyenziswa kweSAF ekusebenzeni kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya. 

Zombini inqwelomoya kunye neemvavanyo zomhlaba ziya kuthelekisa ukukhutshwa ekusetyenzisweni kwe-100% ye-SAF eveliswe nge-HEFA (i-hydroprocessed esters kunye ne-fatty acids) itekhnoloji ngokuchasene nezo zivela kwi-fossil kerosene kunye ne-sulphur fosil fosil. 

I-SAF iya kubonelelwa nguNeste, umboneleli ophambili kwihlabathi liphela wamafutha endalo azinzileyo. Amanqanaba ongezelelweyo kunye nohlalutyo lokuchongwa kwezinto ezikhutshiweyo ngexesha lovavanyo lomhlaba ziya kuziswa yiYunivesithi yase-UK yaseManchester kunye neBhunga loPhando leLizwe laseKhanada.

"I-SAF yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yeenjongo ze-Airbus zokwenza ushishino lweenqwelomoya kwaye sisebenza ngokusondeleyo namaqabane amaninzi ukuqinisekisa ikamva elizinzileyo lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, utshilo uSteven Le Moing, Umphathi weNkqubo eNtsha yaMandla, iAirbus. “Inqwelomoya ngoku ingasebenza kuphela ubuninzi be - 50% yomxube weSAF nefosili yefosili; le ntsebenziswano inika umdla ayizukubonelela kuphela ngendlela ezisebenza ngayo iinjini zeinjini zerhasi zisebenzisa i-100% yeSAF ngenjongo yokufumana isatifikethi, kodwa zichonge nokuncitshiswa kokukhutshwa okunokubakho kunye neenzuzo zokusingqongileyo ekusebenziseni la mafutha kubhabha kwiinqwelomoya. ”

UGqr Patrick Le Clercq, Umphathi weProjekthi ye-ECLIF e-DLR, uthe: “Ngokuphanda i-100% ye-SAF, sithatha uphando lwethu kuyilo lwamafutha nefuthe lemozulu ye-aviation kwinqanaba elitsha. Kumaphulo ophando angaphambili, besisele sikwazi ukubonisa ukuncitshiswa komsipha phakathi kwe-30 kunye ne-50% yemixube yezinye izinto zokubasa, kwaye siyathemba ukuba eli phulo litsha liza kubonisa ukuba obu buchule bungaphezulu ngoku.

"I-DLR sele iqhube uphando olubanzi kwi-analytics kunye nokwenza imodeli kunye nokwenza uvavanyo lomhlaba kunye nokuhamba ngenqwelomoya isebenzisa ezinye izibaso nge-Airbus A320 ATRA yophando ngenqwelomoya ngo-2015 nango-2018 kunye neNASA." USimon Burr, uMlawuli woPhuhliso lweMveliso kunye neTekhnoloji, iRoll- URoyce Civil Aerospace, wongeze wathi: "Kwilizwe lethu le-post-COVID-19, abantu baya kufuna ukunxibelelana kwakhona kodwa bazenze ngokuzinzileyo. Ukuhamba umgama omde, siyazi ukuba oku kuyakubandakanya ukusetyenziswa kwee-injini zerhasi kumashumi eminyaka ezayo. I-SAF ibalulekile kulwabiwo lwezohambo kwaye siyakuxhasa ukunyanzeliswa kokufumaneka kwayo kumzi-mveliso wezohambo. Olu phando lubalulekile ekuxhaseni ukuzibophelela kwethu ekuqondeni nasekusebenziseni i-100% ye-SAF njengesisombululo sokukhutshwa okuncinci.
