南非萨索尔将开发生产环保航空燃料

　　据ICIS-MRC网站4月16日莫斯科报道，根据烃加工网站信息显示，萨索尔公司（Sasol ）宣布将与由林德（Linde），ENERTRAG和Navitas控股公司（Navitas）组成的LEN财团合作，在德国联邦政府H2Global 拍卖平台的支持下，对可持续航空燃料（SAF）的生产进行概念性投标。

　　LEN财团将使萨索尔能够与世界级的合作伙伴合作，利用其丰富的经验，用费托（FT）技术生产液体燃料和化学品。SAF是航空业脱碳的关键，人们普遍认为航空业是减少温室气体排放最具挑战性的行业之一。SAF的生产采用了电转液(PTL)工艺，该工艺依赖于可持续的碳原料(生物质或其他不可避免的工业二氧化碳源)的供应，以及利用可再生能源通过电解生产绿色氢。碳和氢被转化为合成气，一种一氧化碳和氢的混合物，然后通过FT工艺转化为长链碳氢化合物，用于生产航空燃料或SAF。

　　H2Global平台已经为生产绿色氢及其衍生物所需的项目以及由此生产的产品出口到德国的项目开发了一个双重拍卖系统框架。H2Global将使绿色氢项目能够在南非等指定国家建立。

　　作为FT技术、许可和运营领域的全球领导者，Sasol正与其财团合作伙伴探讨在其Secunda合成燃料工厂生产SAF的可行性。该项目将利用萨索尔的现有设施、FT工艺的深厚技术诀窍和下游加工能力。

　　萨索尔总裁兼首席执行官Fleetwood Grobler表示，应对气候变化的行动是萨索尔战略的核心，我们将继续采取重大措施，减少生产过程中产生的温室气体排放。探索在我们的Secunda工厂建立SAF生产示范设施的决定符合我们的长期脱碳战略。绿色氢是我们通过各种战略示范机会和伙伴关系正在与之合作的关键过渡燃料来源之一。H2Global财团为我们提供了一个强大的平台来支持这些新技术及其应用和市场的开发。

　　Sasol plans to develop production of environmentally friendly aviation fuel

　　Sasol announced it will work alongside a consortium comprising Linde PLC (Linde), ENERTRAG AG (ENERTRAG) and Navitas Holdings (Pty) Ltd (Navitas) – the LEN Consortium – to bid in concept for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) under the auspices of the German Federal Government’s H2Global auction platform, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.

　　The LEN Consortium will enable Sasol to work with world-class partners on the opportunity, employing its extensive experience to produce liquid fuels and chemicals with Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology. SAF is key to decarbonizing the aviation sector, which is widely viewed as one of the most challenging sectors in which to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. SAF production employs a Power to Liquid (PTL) process, which relies on the supply of a sustainable carbon feedstock (biomass or other unavoidable industrial carbon dioxide sources) and the production of green hydrogen through electrolysis using renewable energy. The carbon and hydrogen are converted to synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which in turn is converted to longer chain hydrocarbons for the production of jet fuel or SAF via the FT process.

　　The H2Global platform has developed a framework for double auction systems for required projects to produce green hydrogen and its derivatives, as well as the importation of the resulting products into Germany. H2Global will enable green hydrogen projects to be established in designated countries, such as South Africa.

　　Sasol, as a global leader in FT technology, licensing and operations, is exploring the feasibility of SAF production at its Secunda Synfuels plant with its consortium partners. The project would leverage Sasol’s existing facilities, deep technical know-how in the FT process and downstream processing capabilities.

　　"Action on climate change is central to Sasol’s strategy, and we continue to take significant steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated in our production processes," said Fleetwood Grobler, Sasol President and CEO.

　　Grobler added: “The decision to explore the creation of a SAF production demonstration facility at our Secunda Operations is aligned with our long-term decarbonization strategy. Green hydrogen is one of the key transitional fuel sources that we are working with via various strategic demonstration opportunities and partnerships. The H2Global consortium provides us with a powerful platform to support the development of these new technologies and their applications and markets.
