Ua hana ʻo Airbus i kahi lele A380 mua i hoʻohana ʻia e 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

Ua haʻalele ʻo Airbus 'A380 hōʻike mokulele MSN 1 mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Blagnac, Toulouse, Farani ma 08h43 ma ka Pōʻalima 25 Malaki. ʻEkolu mau hola ka lōʻihi o ka lele ʻana, e hana ana i hoʻokahi ʻenekini Rolls-Royce Trent 900 ma 100% SAF.

27 tona o ka hui ole Huina Lewa Mau ua hāʻawi ʻia e Total Energies no kēia lele. ʻO ka SAF i hana ʻia ma Normandy, kokoke i Le Havre, Palani, ua hana ʻia mai Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), me ka ʻole o nā mea ʻala a me ka Sulphur, a ʻo ka nui o ka aila kuke i hoʻohana ʻia, a me nā momona ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka lua o ka lele ʻana, me ka mokulele like, e hoʻomaka ana mai Toulouse a i Nice Airport, ma ka lā 29 Malaki e hoʻāʻo ai i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka SAF i ka wā o ka lawe ʻana a me ka pae ʻana.

ʻO ke kolu kēia Airbus ʻano mokulele e lele ma 100% SAF i nā mahina 12; ʻO ka mua he Airbus A350 i Malaki 2021 a ukali ʻia e kahi mokulele A319neo hoʻokahi-aisle i ʻOkakopa 2021.

ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka SAF he ala koʻikoʻi ia e hoʻokō ai i ka manaʻo o ka ʻoihana no ka net-zero carbon emissions i ka makahiki 2050. Hōʻike nā ʻikepili koʻikoʻi i hōʻike ʻia ma ka hōʻike Waypoint 2050 hiki i ka SAF ke hāʻawi i waena o 53% a me 71% o nā hōʻemi kalapona i koi ʻia.

Ua hōʻoia ʻia nā mokulele Airbus āpau i kēia manawa e lele me ka 50% hui ʻana o SAF i hui pū ʻia me ka ʻaila. ʻO ka pahuhopu e hoʻokō i ka palapala hōʻoia o 100% SAF ma ka hopena o kēia ʻumi makahiki.

ʻO ka mokulele A380 i hoʻohana ʻia i ka wā o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana ʻo ia ka mokulele like i hōʻike ʻia i kēia manawa ʻo Airbus 'ZEROe Demonstrator - kahi lele hoʻāʻo no nā ʻenehana e hiki mai ana i mea pono e lawe mai i ka mokulele zero-emission mua o ka honua i ka mākeke e 2035.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

A second flight, with the same aircraft, is scheduled to take place from Toulouse to Nice Airport, on the 29 March to test the use of SAF during take-off and landing.
The SAF produced in Normandy, close to Le Havre, France, was made from Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), free of aromatics and Sulphur, and primarily consisting of used cooking oil, as well as other waste fats.
The aim is to achieve certification of 100% SAF by the end of this decade.
