Kafukufuku woyamba kuuluka wa 100% wopititsa patsogolo kayendedwe ka mafuta pamayendedwe a okwera ndege akhazikitsidwa

• Pulojekiti ya 'Emission and Climate Impact of Alternative Fuels' (ECLIF3) idayambitsidwa
• Kafukufukuyu adzachitika pogwiritsa ntchito ndege za Airbus A350-900 zoyendetsedwa ndi injini za Rolls-Royce Trent XWB
• Kuyesa kwa injini zamafuta oyambira kunayamba m'malo a Airbus ku Toulouse, France, sabata ino

Gulu la akatswiri ochita masewera olimbitsa thupi layambitsa kafukufuku woyamba padziko lonse lapansi wowulutsa mpweya pogwiritsa ntchito mafuta okwanira 100% (SAF) pa ndege yayikulu yonyamula anthu.

Airbus, Malo ofufuza aku Germany a DLR, Rolls-Royce ndi wopanga SAF Neste agwirizana kuti ayambe ntchito ya upainiya ya 'Emission and Climate Impact of Alternative Fuels' (ECLIF3) yomwe ikuyang'ana zotsatira za 100% SAF pa mpweya wa ndege ndi magwiridwe antchito.

Zotsatira zakufukufukuyu - zikuchitika pansi komanso mlengalenga pogwiritsa ntchito ndege ya Airbus A350-900 yoyendetsedwa ndi injini za Rolls-Royce Trent XWB - ithandizira zoyeserera zomwe zikuchitika ku Airbus ndi Rolls-Royce kuti awonetsetse kuti ntchito zapaulendo zakonzeka pakugwiritsa ntchito kwambiri SAF ngati gawo limodzi lachitetezo chazakampani. 

Kuyesa kwa injini zamafuta, kuphatikiza ndege yoyamba yoyendera momwe 100% SAF ikugwirira ntchito ndi ndege, idayambira m'malo a Airbus ku Toulouse, France, sabata ino. Izi zidzatsatiridwa ndi kuyeserera kwapansi panthaka koyenera kuyambika mu Epulo ndikuyambiranso mu Kutha, pogwiritsa ntchito DLR's Falcon 20-E 'kuthamangitsa ndege' kuti ichitepo kanthu pofufuza momwe mpweya umagwirira ntchito SAF. Pakadali pano, kuyezetsa kwina komwe kumayesa mpweya wa zinthu zakonzedwa kuti zisonyeze momwe ntchito ya SAF imagwirira ntchito pa eyapoti. 

Maulendo awiri oyendetsa ndege komanso kuyerekezera pansi adzafanizira mpweya wochokera ku 100% SAF wopangidwa ndiukadaulo wa HEFA (hydroprocessed esters ndi fatty acids) motsutsana ndi iwo ochokera ku fosili kerosene ndi mafuta ochepa otsika a sulfure. 

SAF iperekedwa ndi Neste, yemwe akutsogolera padziko lonse lapansi mafuta opitilira ndege. Kuyeza kwina ndikuwunika momwe ziwonetsero zazinthu zapakati pazoyeserera zaperekedwa ndi UK University of Manchester ndi National Research Council of Canada.

"SAF ndi gawo lofunikira kwambiri pakukhumba kwa Airbus kukhazikitsa makampani opanga ndege ndipo tikugwira ntchito limodzi ndi othandizana nawo angapo kuti tiwonetsetse tsogolo laulendo wapaulendo," atero a Steven Le Moing, Woyang'anira Pulogalamu Yatsopano ya Energy, Airbus. “Ndege pakadali pano zingagwire ntchito yokhayo yophatikiza 50% ya SAF ndi mafuta okumba mafuta; mgwirizanowu wosangalatsa sikuti udzangotithandiza kumvetsetsa momwe injini zamagetsi zimagwirira ntchito 100% SAF ndi cholinga chotsimikizira, komanso kuzindikira zomwe zingachepetse kutulutsa kwa mpweya komanso phindu la chilengedwe pogwiritsa ntchito mafuta ngatiwo poyendetsa ndege yamalonda. ”

Dr Patrick Le Clercq, Woyang'anira Ntchito za ECLIF ku DLR, adati: "Pofufuza 100% SAF, tikufikitsa kafukufuku wathu wokhudza kapangidwe ka mafuta ndi kayendedwe ka kayendedwe ka ndege pamlingo watsopano. M'mapulogalamu ofufuza am'mbuyomu, tidatha kuwonetsa kuchepa kwa mwaye pakati pa 30 ndi 50% ya mitundu ingapo yamafuta, ndipo tikukhulupirira kuti kampeni yatsopanoyi iwonetsa kuti kuthekera kumeneku tsopano kwakula kwambiri.

"DLR yachita kale kafukufuku wambiri pa ma analytics ndi ma modelling komanso kuyesa mayeso oyendetsa ndege ndi ndege pogwiritsa ntchito mafuta ena ndi ndege za kafukufuku wa Airbus A320 ATRA mu 2015 ndi 2018 limodzi ndi NASA." Simon Burr, Director Product Development and Technology, Rolls- Royce Civil Aerospace, anawonjezera kuti: "M'dziko lathu la post-COVID-19, anthu adzafuna kulumikizananso koma amatero mosasunthika. Paulendo wautali, tikudziwa kuti izi zikuphatikiza kugwiritsa ntchito makina ampweya wazaka makumi angapo zikubwerazi. SAF ndiyofunikira pakuwongolera ulendowu ndipo tikuthandizira kulimbikitsa kupezeka kwake pamakampani opanga ndege. Kafukufukuyu ndiofunikira kuti tithandizire kudzipereka kwathu pakumvetsetsa ndikupangitsa kugwiritsa ntchito 100% SAF ngati yankho lochepetsera mpweya. ”
