據世界能源網5月19日轉引發布美國雜志《生物能》文章稱，阿布扎比國家能源公司馬斯達爾（Masdar），作為世界領先的清潔能源公司之一，與歐洲最大的航空航天公司、全球領先的空中客車公司簽署了一項協議，支持全球可持續航空燃料市場的發展和增長。

簽署儀式在工業和先進技術部長、馬斯達爾董事長兼COP28候任主席Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber博士、空中客車首席執行官Guillaume Faury和馬斯達爾首席執行官Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi的見證下舉行，由馬斯達爾首席綠色氫能官Mohammad Abdelqader El Ramahi和空客非洲和中東區域總裁Mikail Houari簽署。

該協議強調了兩家公司之間的合作領域，包括可持續航空燃料（SAF）、綠色氫氣、直接空氣碳捕集技術，以及研發和運行“先預定后結算”碳排放解決方案。

直接空氣碳捕集技術能夠捕獲大氣中的二氧化碳，與氫氣結合可用于生產可持續航空燃料。根據Priority Research的數據，與傳統噴氣燃料相比，使用基于綠氫和直接空氣碳捕集技術的可持續航空燃料預計可減少高達95%的溫室氣體排放，到2032年，全球可持續航空燃料市場預計將增長到140億美元以上。

馬斯達爾首席執行官Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi說：“與空客的這份協議進一步強化了馬斯達爾加快減少全球碳排放和在全球范圍內開創脫碳的承諾。我們期待著與空客密切合作，支持全球可持續航空燃料市場的發展，并探索采用創造性的低碳解決方案來支持凈零排放?！?/p>

空中客車公司非洲和中東區域總裁Mikail Houari說：“可持續航空燃料是減少航空業碳排放的最佳解決方案之一，該協議將有助于推動航空業的發展和增長。我們空中客車公司致力于引領行業走向更可持續的未來。我們致力于推動創新，以支持IATA、ATAG和ICAO設定的‘到2050年實現凈零碳排放’的目標?！?/p>

他還補充道：“我們在阿聯酋有著成功合作的經驗，這有助于提高該國航空航天部門的能力。與馬斯達爾的這項新協議標志著空客與阿聯酋合作關系的又一個里程碑?！?/p>

可持續航空燃料是一種可以立即生效的顯著減少全球航空運輸的二氧化碳排放的解決方案，它可以作為常規燃料的替代使用，而無須修改現有的儲存和加油基礎設施、飛機或發動機。據估計，這種燃料在全球范圍內的逐步推廣將有助于大大降低航空運輸的二氧化碳排放，也是全球航空業未來實現凈零排放的關鍵。

今年早些時候，在阿布扎比可持續發展周期間，馬斯達爾還宣布，馬斯達爾提出的以綠色氫氣生產可持續航空燃料為重點的倡議正在積極與許可方合作，認證一種由甲醇生產可持續航空燃料的新途徑。

阿聯酋的清潔能源巨頭馬斯達爾成立于2006年，業務涉及全球40多個國家，投資了總容量約為20吉瓦的一系列可再生能源項目。

Masdar, Airbus Sign Agreement to Support Development of SAF

Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC –Masdar, one of the world's leading clean energy companies, has signed an agreement with Airbus, the largest aeronautics and space company in Europe and a worldwide leader to support the development and growth of the global sustainable aviation fuel market.

The signing ceremony was held in the presence of His Excellency Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, chairman of Masdar and COP28 President-Designate, Guillaume Faury, CEO Airbus, and Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO, Masdar. The agreement was signed by Mohammad Abdelqader El Ramahi, Chief Green Hydrogen Officer, Masdar and Mikail Houari, President, Airbus Africa and Middle East.

The agreement highlights areas of collaboration between the two companies, including sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), green hydrogen, direct air capture technologies, as well as supporting the development and implementation of 'book and claim' solutions.

Direct air capture technologies enable the capturing of atmospheric CO2 which could, in combination with Hydrogen be used to produce synthetic SAF. The use of SAF based on green hydrogen and direct air capture is estimated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95 percent when compared to conventional jet fuel with the global sustainable aviation fuel market expected to grow to over US$14 billion by 2032, according to Precedence Research.

Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO, Masdar, said: "This MoU with Airbus further amplifies Masdar's commitment to accelerating the reduction of global carbon emissions and pioneering worldwide efforts towards decarbonization. We look forward to working closely with Airbus to support the development of the global sustainable aviation fuel market and to exploring the adoption of creative low carbon solutions in support of net zero."

Mikail Houari, president, Airbus Africa and Middle East, said: "Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is one of the best solutions for reducing the aviation sector's carbon footprint and this agreement will support in advancing its much-needed development and growth. At Airbus, we continue to lead the industry towards a more sustainable future. We are committed to contributing to driving innovation to support the ambition set by IATA, ATAG and ICAO to reach "net zero carbon emissions by 2050."

"We have a legacy of successful collaborations in the UAE that has contributed to advancing the country's aerospace sector capabilities. This new agreement with Masdar marks yet another milestone in the partnership between Airbus and the UAE," he added.

Sustainable aviation fuel is an immediately available solution for significantly reducing the CO2 emissions of global air transportation. It can be used as a drop-in fuel without modifying existing storage and refueling infrastructure, aircraft, or engines. The gradual incorporation of the fuel worldwide is estimated to significantly help lower the CO2 emissions of air transportation and is key to a net-zero future for the global aviation industry.

Earlier this year, during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, Masdar also announced that the Masdar-led initiative focusing on green hydrogen to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is actively working with licensors to certify a new production pathway for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from methanol.

Established in 2006, Masdar is the UAE's clean energy powerhouse, active in over 40 countries across the globe, and has invested in a portfolio of renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of around 20 gigawatts (GW).
