据安迅思4月28日消息称，霍尼韦尔宣布，意大利最大的能源公司埃尼集团正在其位于意大利格拉的炼油厂生产可再生燃料，使用埃尼集团和UOP联合开发的Ecofining技术。
在格拉和威尼斯炼油厂生产生物燃料，有助于埃尼集团满足欧洲对替代燃料日益增长的需求。UOP为格拉项目提供了技术许可、基础工程、特种设备、催化剂和培训。格拉项目年产75万吨HVO(加氢植物油)生物燃料。
2014年，埃尼集团还将其位于威尼斯的炼油厂转化为生物燃料，每年从使用过的植物油、使用过的食用油和动物脂肪中生产多达36万吨生物燃料。总的来说，埃尼集团目前将意大利25%的回收废弃食用油转化为生物燃料，支持欧洲排放法规，同时提高现有炼油资产的利用率。威尼斯是世界上第一个将传统精炼厂转变为生物精炼厂的例子。
霍尼韦尔可持续技术解决方案副总裁兼总经理Ben Owens表示:“为了满足欧洲日益增长的生物燃料需求，埃尼将其现有的格拉设施转化为使用埃尼和UOP联合开发的Ecofining技术的生物精炼厂。该公司认为这是进一步支持生物燃料增长和欧盟可再生能源政策的有效途径。”
Ecofining工艺将非食用的天然油、动物脂肪和其他废弃原料转化为可再生柴油，其化学性质与石油柴油相同，无需修改即可作为汽车的替代品。

Eni began producing renewable fuels at its refinery in Italy
Honeywell announced Italy’s largest energy company, Eni, is producing renewable fuels at its refinery in Gela, Italy, using the Ecofining technology jointly developed by Eni and UOP.
The production of biofuels at the Gela and Venice refineries helps Eni meet the growing demand for alternative fuels in Europe. UOP provided technology licensing, basic engineering, specialty equipment, catalysts and training for the project in Gela, which has an annual production capacity of 750,000 tons of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) biofuel per year.
In 2014, Eni also converted its refinery in Venice to biofuels, producing up to 360,000 tons per year of biofuels from used vegetable oils, used cooking oils and animal fats. In total, Eni currently converts about 25% of Italy’s recovered used cooking oil to biofuels, supporting European emissions regulations while improving utilization of existing refinery assets. Venice was the first example in the world of conversion of a conventional refinery into a biorefinery.
"To meet increasing demand for biofuels in Europe, Eni converted its existing Gela facility to a biorefinery using the Ecofining technology jointly developed by Eni and UOP,” said Ben Owens, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Sustainable Technology Solutions. “The company saw this as an effective way to further support the growth of biofuels and the European Union’s policies for renewable energy."
The Ecofining process converts non-edible natural oils, animal fats and other waste feedstocks to renewable diesel, chemically identical to petroleum-based diesel, which can be used as a drop-in replacement in vehicles with no modifications.
