阿联酋领先的清洁能源公司马斯达尔与道达尔能源公司达成协议,共同探讨开发一个商业项目,重点是将绿色氢转化为甲醇和可持续航空燃料 (SAF)。该计划旨在减少传统上难以脱碳的航空和海运业的排放。
该项目将利用从工业来源捕获的二氧化碳作为原料,以及通过可再生能源电解产生的绿色氢气,来生产绿色甲醇和 SAF。此次合作是在 2023 年 12 月 COP28 期间成功试飞之后进行的,该试飞证明了将甲醇转化为 SAF 的可行性。
马斯达尔一直积极参与战略合作,以推动可持续航空燃料行业的发展,这与阿联酋的可持续航空燃料总体政策相一致。该政策设定了一个自愿目标,即到 2031 年,向国家航空公司供应 1% 的燃料,这些燃料均由当地生产的可持续航空燃料提供。该合作伙伴关系还支持阿布扎比的低碳氢政策,推动低碳氢成为可持续增长和能源安全的关键能源。
该协议是马斯达尔更广泛的使命的一部分,即到 2030 年将其可再生能源容量扩大到 100 千兆瓦 (GW),并成为领先的绿色氢气生产商。道达尔能源在能源生产和分配方面的专业知识与马斯达尔的计划相得益彰,有望对航空业的碳足迹产生变革性影响。
Masdar and TotalEnergies launch green hydrogen project in UAE
Masdar, the UAE’s leading clean energy company, has entered into an agreement with TotalEnergies to explore the development of a commercial project focused on converting green hydrogen into methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This initiative aims to reduce emissions in the aviation and maritime industries, which are traditionally difficult to decarbonise.
The project will utilise CO2 captured from industrial sources as a feedstock, along with green hydrogen produced through renewable energy-powered electrolysis, to generate green methanol and SAF. This collaboration follows a successful test flight during COP28 in December 2023, which demonstrated the viability of converting methanol into SAF.
Masdar has been actively engaging in strategic partnerships to advance the SAF sector, aligning with the UAE’s General Policy for Sustainable Aviation Fuel. This policy sets a voluntary target of supplying 1% of fuel to national airlines with locally produced SAF by 2031. The partnership also supports Abu Dhabi’s Low Carbon Hydrogen Policy, promoting low-carbon hydrogen as a key energy source for sustainable growth and energy security.
The agreement is part of Masdar’s broader mandate to expand its renewable energy capacity to 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 and establish itself as a leading producer of green hydrogen. TotalEnergies’ expertise in energy production and distribution complements Masdar’s initiatives, promising a transformative impact on the aviation industry’s carbon footprint.
