nhasi, Virgin Atlantic iri kutanga rwendo runokosha kubva kuLondon Heathrow kuenda kuNew York JFK, sezvavanotanga rwendo rwekubhururuka rwakakonzerwa zvachose neSustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Kubhururuka uku mhedzisiro yekuedza kwegore rose kunosundwa nekubatana kukuru, nechinangwa chekuratidzira kugona kweSAF seimwe nzira yakachengeteka kune yechinyakare-based jet fuel. Zvinonyanya kukosha, SAF inowirirana zvizere neinjini dziripo, maairframes, uye zvivakwa zvemafuta, ichisimbisa kugona kwayo senge isina musono yekutsiva sarudzo.
SAF ine basa rakakosha rekuita mukubvisa carbon-refu yekufamba nendege, uye nzira inoenda kuNet Zero 2050. Mafuta, anogadzirwa kubva mumarara, anopa CO2 lifecycle emissions savings inosvika 70%, ichiita seyakajairwa jet mafuta. anotsiva.
Nepo mamwe matekinoroji akadai semagetsi nehydrogen achiramba ari makumi emakore kure, SAF inogona kushandiswa ikozvino. Nhasi, SAF inomiririra isingasviki 0.1% yemafuta ejeti epasi rose uye zviyero zvemafuta zvinongobvumira 50% SAF musanganiswa mumajini ejeti ekutengesa. Flight100 icharatidza kuti dambudziko rekuwedzera kugadzirwa nderimwe remitemo nekudyara, uye indasitiri nehurumende zvinofanirwa kufamba nekukurumidza kugadzira indasitiri iri kusimukira yeUK SAF.
Zvakare nekuratidza kugona kweSAF, Flight100 ichaongorora kuti kushandiswa kwayo kunobata sei mhepo isiri-carbon emissions nerutsigiro rwevadyidzani vemubatanidzwa ICF, Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), Imperial College London uye Yunivhesiti yeSheffield. Tsvagiridzo iyi ichavandudza manzwisisiro esainzi emhedzisiro yeSAF pane zvipingamupinyi uye zvikamu uye kubatsira kuita fungidziro yezvinopesana muhurongwa hwekuronga ndege. Dhata nekutsvagisa zvichagovaniswa neindasitiri, uye Mhandara Atlantic ichaenderera mberi nekubatanidzwa kwayo nebasa rekudzivirira kuburikidza neRMI's Climate Impact Task Force, iyo chikamu-inotsigirwa neVirgin Unite.
Iyo SAF inoshandiswa paFlight100 ndeye yakasarudzika mbiri musanganiswa; 88% HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) yakapihwa neAirBP uye 12% SAK (Synthetic Aromatic Kerosene) yakapihwa naVirent, mubatsiri weMarathon Petroleum Corporation. Iyo HEFA inogadzirwa kubva kumarara emafuta nepo SAK inogadzirwa kubva kune yekudyara shuga, uye yakasara yemapuroteni ezvirimwa, mafuta uye mafibhi zvinoramba zvichipinda muketani yekudya. SAK inodiwa mu100% SAF misanganiswa kuti ipe mafuta anonhuwirira anodiwa einjini basa. Kuti uwane Net Zero 2050, hutsva uye kudyara kunodiwa kune ese aripo feedstocks uye matekinoroji anofanirwa kubatanidzwa kuti awedzere mavhoriyamu eSAF pamwe nekuenderera mberi nekutsvagisa nekusimudzira kunodiwa kuunza zero emission ndege kumusika.
Mhandara yeAtlantic yakazvipira kutsvaga dzimwe nzira dzakasimba dzekubhururuka, munzira yayo yekubhururuka kuenda kuNet Zero 2050, ichitora matanho kumativi ese erwendo. Ichiri kushanda imwe yezvikepe zvidiki uye zvakawanda zvemafuta nekabhoni mudenga, Flight100 inovaka pamakore gumi nemashanu endege rekodhi yekutungamirira mukusimudzirwa kweSAF pamwero. Pamwe chete, indasitiri nehurumende zvinofanirwa kuenderera mberi, kugadzira indasitiri yeUK SAF uye kusangana nendege yegumi muzana SAF panosvika gore ra15, vachitora mari payakakosha mabhenefiti ehupfumi nehupfumi hwauchaunza - mupiro unofungidzirwa we£ 10 bhiriyoni muGross Value Yakawedzerwa kune iyo UK uye anopfuura 2030 mabasa.
Ndege iyi yakabvuma Mutungamiriri weSAF Grand Challenge, Biden, yakagadzwa muna 2021 kuUS, ichivimbisa kutambirwa kwemabhiriyoni matatu emarita eSAF panosvika 3. Pamwe chete nemutemo wekuderedza inflation, zvisungo zvehurumende yeUS kukurudzira mari yakazvimirira muindasitiri yeSAF inosimbisa kukosha. yekudyidzana kwepedyo mukati meindastiri uye nepasi rose kuti uwane zvinotapurwa zvinoburitswa.
Shai Weiss, Chief Executive Officer, Virgin Atlantic akati: “Flight100 inoratidza kuti Sustainable Aviation Fuel inogona kushandiswa seyakachengetedzeka, yekudonhedza kutsiva yemafuta ejeti anotorwa nefossil uye ndiyo yega mhinduro inoshanda yekubvisa carbon-long-haul aviation. Zvatora kubatana kukuru kuti tisvike pano uye tinodada kuti tasvika padanho rakakosha iri, asi tinofanira kuenderera mberi. Iko hakuna kukwana SAF uye zviri pachena kuti kuti tisvike kugadzirwa pamwero, isu tinofanirwa kuona zvakanyanya mari. Izvi zvichaitika chete kana chokwadi chekutonga uye nzira dzekutsigira mutengo, dzinotsigirwa nehurumende, dzavepo. Flight100 inoratidza kuti ukaikwanisa, tinoibhururutsa.”
Sir Richard Branson, Muvambi, Mhandara yeAtlantic akati: “Nyika ichagara ichifunga kuti chimwe chinhu hachigone kuitwa, kutozosvikira wachiita. Iwo mweya wekuvandudza uri kubuda kunze uko uye kuyedza kuratidza kuti isu tinokwanisa kuita zvinhu zvirinani kuitira kubatsira kwemunhu wese.
“Mhandara yeAtlantic yanga ichipikisa mamiriro ezvinhu uye kusundidzira indasitiri yezvendege kuti isazombogadzikana uye kuita zvirinani kubvira 1984. Tichikurumidza kusvika makore 40, mweya iwoyo wekupayona unoramba uri moyo unorova weMhandara yeAtlantic sezvainosundira miganhu kubva kucarbon fiber ndege nezvikepe. kukwidziridzwa kumafuta akasimba.
"Handina kudada kuve mundege yeFlight100 nhasi padivi pezvikwata zveVirgin Atlantic nevamwe vedu, vanga vachishanda pamwe chete kugadzira nzira yekubhururuka yekubvisa mhepo yekufamba kwenguva refu."
Munyori wezvekutaku UK, Mark Harper akati: "Ndege yemazuva ano, inofambiswa ne100% yemafuta ekufambisa nendege, inoratidza maitiro atinogona kuita decarbonize yekufambisa uye kuita kuti vafambi varambe vachibhururuka nguva uye kwavanoda.
"Hurumende iyi yakatsigira ndege yanhasi kuti iende uye ticharamba tichitsigira indasitiri yeSAF iri kusimukira yeUK sezvo ichiwanisa mabasa, kusimudzira hupfumi hwenyika uye kutiendesa kuJet Zero."
Dame Karen Pierce, Mumiriri waMambo kuUnited States akati: “Nyika ino inotanga kucherechedza danho rakakosha murwendo rweUK kuenda kumhepo yeJet Zero.
"Tinotarisira kuenderera mberi nebasa redu repedyo neUS kuti tiwedzere kushandiswa kwemafuta ekufambisa sezvo tichigamuchira ndege dzakasimba dzeramangwana."
Executive Director wePort Authority yeNew York neNew Jersey, Rick Cotton akati: “Sechikamu chechinangwa chedu chesangano rose kusvika muna 2050, Port Authority inokurudzira zvikuru uye inotsigira kuedza kwevatinoshanda navo panhandare yendege kuti vaderedze kabhoni. uye kuderedza kuburitswa kwegasi regreenhouse. Tinofara kugamuchira rwendo rwekutanga rwekufamba nendege tichishandisa 100% mafuta emuchadenga asingachinjiki muJohn F. Kennedy International Airport uye tinovimba kuti kubudirira kwendege yeMhandara Atlantic kuenda kuNew York kuchakurudzira nharaunda yese yepanhandare yendege kuti ienderere mberi nenhamburiko dzekusimudzira.
Sheila Remes, Mutevedzeri weMutungamiriri weEnvironment Sustainability, Boeing akati: "Muna 2008 Mhandara yeAtlantic neBoeing vakapedza rwendo rwekutanga rwekutengesa SAF pa747 uye nhasi tichazadzisa chimwe chiitiko chakakosha tichishandisa 787 Dreamliner. Ndege iyi idanho rakakosha pakuzvipira kwedu kuendesa ndege dzinoenderana ne100% SAF panosvika gore ra2030. Sezvatiri kushanda takananga kuchinangwa cheindasitiri yezvekubhururuka nendege, rwendo rwemazuva ano runoratidza zvatingagona kubudirira pamwe chete.”
Simon Burr, Boka Director veEngineering, Technology & Safety, Rolls-Royce plc, akati: "Tinodada zvikuru kuti injini dzedu dzeTrent 1000 dziri kupa simba rekutanga kubhururuka kwevanhu vachishandisa 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel mhiri kweAtlantic nhasi. Rolls-Royce ichangopedza kuyedza kuenderana kwe100% SAF pane ese edu e-ekugadzira einjini emhando dzeaero uye uhu humwe humbowo hwekuti hapana zvipingamupinyi zvehunyanzvi hweinjini pakushandiswa kwe100% SAF. Kubhururuka uku kunomiririra chiitiko chakakosha kuindasitiri yese yendege murwendo rwayo rwekuenda kune zero zero emissions. "
