Hoʻolālā nā lālā o ka Oneworld Alliance e kūʻai aku a hiki i 200 miliona mau galani o ka wahie lele hoʻomau i kēlā me kēia makahiki mai Colorado-based renewable fuel producer Gevo, i ka lua o ka hoʻopaʻa like ʻana e ka hui mokulele honua i ʻehā mahina. E hoʻomaka ana ka lawe ʻana i ka wahie mai 2027, no ʻelima mau makahiki.

ʻO oneworld ka hui mokulele mokulele honua mua e hoʻopaʻa pū i ke kūʻai ʻana i ka wahie mokulele hoʻomau, a ʻo ka hoʻokō hou ka lua o kāna ʻano. I Nowemapa 2021, oneworld ua hoʻolaha aku i kahi hoʻohiki hui e kūʻai aku ma mua o 350 miliona mau galani o ka wahie mokulele hoʻomau i hui pū ʻia mai Aemetis no nā hana ma Kapalakiko a ʻo Finnair kekahi o nā lālā o kēia hoʻohiki.

Finnair ua hoʻonohonoho i kahi pahuhopu lōʻihi e lele kalapona i ka 2045 a ʻo SAF kahi mea nui o ka pahu hana no ka hiki ʻana i kēia pahuhopu. Ma Malaki 2022, ua kono ʻo Finnair i kāna mau mea kūʻai aku e hoʻopau i kā lākou hoʻokuʻu lele ʻana me kahi lawelawe e hoʻohui pū ai i ka Sustainable Aviation Fuel a me nā papahana aniau hilinaʻi. Ua holo ʻo Finnair i nā mokulele pākahi me ka hui SAF mai ka makahiki 2011 a ke manaʻo nei e hoʻonui i ka hoʻohana ʻana o SAF i kāna mau hana lele.

"ʻO ke kumu kūʻai kiʻekiʻe a me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā wahie lele hoʻomau i mau pilikia no ka hoʻonui ʻana i kona hoʻohana ʻana i ka mokulele kalepa, a no laila e hoʻoulu ai i ka noi a me ka lako he mea nui ia e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ke kumukūʻai o SAF a e hoʻonui i kona loaʻa - e kuhikuhi ana i ke koʻikoʻi o nā hoʻohiki hui like. ʻo ia o nā mokulele lālā oneworld," wahi a Eveliina Huurre, SVP Sustainability ma Finnair.

Hana ʻia ka wahie lele hoʻomau a Gevo me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā huahana kulina inedible i hana ʻia e hana i ka ethanol a laila hoʻololi ʻia i wahie lele hoʻomau. Manaʻo ʻia e hana ʻia ka wahie mokulele hoʻomau i ʻekolu mau hale i hoʻomohala ʻia ma Midwest o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.

Ua hui mua ʻo Finnair me Neste ma Finland e hoʻonui i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka SAF a no laila e hōʻemi i ka hoʻokuʻu kalapona o ka lele.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

"ʻO ke kumu kūʻai kiʻekiʻe a me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā wahie lele hoʻomau i mau pilikia no ka hoʻonui ʻana i kona hoʻohana ʻana i ka mokulele kalepa, a no laila e hoʻoulu ai i ka noi a me ka lako he mea nui ia e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ke kumukūʻai o SAF a e hoʻonui i kona loaʻa - e kuhikuhi ana i ke koʻikoʻi o nā hoʻohiki hui like. ʻo ia o nā mokulele lālā oneworld," wahi a Eveliina Huurre, SVP Sustainability ma Finnair.
