Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Airbus a me LanzaJet, kahi hui ʻenehana ʻenehana hoʻomau hoʻomau, i kēia lā ua komo lākou i kahi memorandum of understanding (MOU) no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā pono o ka ʻoihana mokulele ma o ka hana ʻana i ka wahie mokulele hoʻomau (SAF).
Hoʻokumu ka MOU i kahi pilina ma waena o Airbus a me LanzaJet e hoʻomohala i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā keʻena SAF e hoʻohana ai i ka ʻenehana Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) alakaʻi, hōʻoia ʻia, a me ka waiwai o LanzaJet. Ke manaʻo nei kēia ʻaelike e hoʻolalelale i ka hōʻoia ʻana a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka 100% drop-in SAF e ʻae ai i nā mokulele e lele nei me ka wahie fossil. ʻO ka ʻoihana mokulele ke kuleana ma kahi o 2-3% o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ke kalapona kalapona honua, a ua ʻike ʻia ʻo SAF e nā mokulele, nā aupuni, a me nā alakaʻi o ka ikehu, ʻo ia kekahi o nā hopena wikiwiki loa e decarbonize i ka mokulele, me ka hana hou ʻana o nā ʻauwaʻa e nā mea hou loa. nā mokulele a me nā hana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
"ʻO SAF ka hopena maikaʻi loa no ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā hoʻokuʻu mokulele a ʻo kēia hui pū ʻana ma waena o LanzaJet a me Airbus kahi hana koʻikoʻi i mua i ka hakakā ʻana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a hiki i ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka ikehu honua," wahi a Jimmy Samartzis, Luna Nui o LanzaJet. "Ke kakali nei mākou i ka hoʻomau ʻana i kā mākou hana me Airbus a hoʻonui hou i kā mākou hopena hui ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa."
Hoʻohana ka ʻenehana ATJ ponoʻī o LanzaJet i ka ethanol haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa e hana i ka SAF e hōʻemi ana i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma mua o 70% pākēneka i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā wahie fossil a hiki ke hoʻemi hou i nā hoʻokuʻu me kahi hui o nā ʻenehana hōʻemi kalapona. ʻO ka SAF i hana ʻia ma o ka ʻenehana ATJ o LanzaJet he wahie hāʻule i ʻae ʻia me nā mokulele a me nā ʻoihana.
"ʻOliʻoli mākou i ka ulu ʻana i kā mākou hui pū ʻana me LanzaJet, kahi hui alakaʻi i ka SAF production ecosystem. Ma Airbus ua kūpaʻa mākou i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka SAF ma ke ʻano he lever nui i ka hōʻemi ʻana o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o CO2 ma ka palapala alanui decarbonisation, "wahi a Julie Kitcher, EVP, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability ma Airbus. "Me LanzaJet ma ke ʻano he hoa hilinaʻi, hiki iā mākou ke kākoʻo i ka wikiwiki o ke ala hana Alcohol-to-Jet SAF a ma ka nui. ʻO kēia hui pū kekahi e ʻimi i nā hoʻomohala ʻenehana e hiki ai i nā mokulele Airbus ke hiki ke lele a hiki i 100% SAF ma mua o ka pau ʻana o nā makahiki he ʻumi.
He kuleana koʻikoʻi ke kaiaola holoʻokoʻa e hōʻoia i ka piʻi ʻana o ka SAF. Ma waho aʻe o ka hana ʻana i nā ʻano ʻenehana a me nā papahana SAF paʻa, no laila e noiʻi ʻo LanzaJet a me Airbus i nā manawa ʻoihana a puni ka honua me nā mokulele a me nā mea kuleana ʻē aʻe.
