据烃加工网7月12日报道,航空史上首次向商业航空公司交付CORS IA认证的一批可持续航空燃料(SAF)。世界领先的SAF生产商耐思特,向旧金山国际机场的美国航空公司交付了一批耐斯特MY可持续航空燃料。这是以认证SAF作为CORS IA合格燃料试验的一部分,可用于航空公司履行CORSIA规定的排放义务。
国际航空碳抵消和减少计划(“CORSIA”)是一项碳抵消和减少计划,旨在降低国际航班的二氧化碳排放,遏制航空对气候变化的影响。它是由国际民用航空组织(ICAO)开发的。但到目前为止,全球还没有一家航空公司接收了CORS IA认证的SAF ,这是第一次。
耐斯特一直与航空利益相关者密切合作,以加快SAF的使用,并与美国航空公司(按机队规模衡量,世界上最大的航空公司)有着长期的合作关系。两家公司都支持CORSIA的减排目标,但由于 CORSIA下的SAF认证程序是新的,他们决定建立一个试点项目来认证一批SAF ,并使用该程序来了解其面临的挑战。
耐斯特可再生航空执行副总裁托斯滕·兰格(Thorsten Lange)表示,可持续航空燃料被广泛认为是实现航空业2020年碳中和增长和2050年实现净零排放目标的关键因素。与美国航空公司的试点是一个完美的机会,证明了交付CORS IA认证的SAF的可行性,并获得了有用的见解,以建立程序和我们需要克服的挑战,以实施CORSIA 。
美国ESG主管吉尔·布里克斯坦表示,American很荣幸能与耐斯特合作,展示SAF如何满足ICAO为CORSIA制定的强有力的可持续性标准。我们的合作也将有助于向美国客户证明SAF能够满足这些高标准。
要符合CORSIA的可持续发展标准,需要得到ICAO认可的可持续发展认证计划(SCS)的独立认证。耐斯特决定寻求国际可持续发展和碳认证(ISCC)系统的认证。
Thorsten Lange继续道,与美国航空公司、ISCC和所有其他相关机构的合作对实现这一重要里程碑至关重要。我们将在ICAO即将发布的环境报告中分享我们的经验。因为最终,我们需要与航空业的所有利益相关者合作来实现减排。
与化石航空燃料相比,NEST MY可持续航空燃料是当今可以在燃料的生命周期内减少80%的飞行温室气体排放的一种解决方案。耐斯特生产的SAF由可持续资源,100%可再生废料和残渣原料制成。作为一种低碳燃料,它可以与现有的飞机引擎和机场燃料基础设施一起使用,不需要额外的投资。

Neste delivers first ever CORSIA certified SAF to American Airlines
For the first time in aviation history a CORSIA certified batch of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) was delivered to a commercial airline. Neste, the world’s leading SAF producer, delivered a batch of its Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel to American Airlines at San Francisco International Airport. This was part of a pilot to certify SAF as a CORSIA eligible fuel that can be used by an airline to meet its emissions obligation under CORSIA.
The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (“CORSIA”) is a carbon offset and carbon reduction scheme to lower CO2 emissions for international flights, to curb the aviation impact on climate change. It was developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). But until now, no airline in the world has taken delivery of CORSIA-certified SAF, making this delivery a first.
Neste has been working together closely with aviation stakeholders to accelerate the use of SAF and has a long-standing partnership with American Airlines, the world's largest airline when measured by fleet size. Both companies support CORSIA’s emissions reduction goals, but as the SAF certification process under CORSIA is new, they decided to set up a pilot project to certify a batch of SAF and use that process to understand its challenges.
Sustainable aviation fuel is widely acknowledged as a key element in achieving the aviation industry’s goals of carbon neutral growth from 2020 and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050,” says Thorsten Lange, Neste’s Executive Vice President, Renewable Aviation. “The pilot with American Airlines was a perfect opportunity for proving the feasibility of delivering CORSIA certified SAF and gaining useful insights into setting up the process and the challenges we need to overcome to enable the implementation of CORSIA.”
“American is proud to partner with Neste to demonstrate how SAF can meet the robust sustainability standards that ICAO has established for CORSIA,” said Jill Blickstein, Head of ESG at American. “Our work together will also help demonstrate to American’s customers that SAF can meet these high standards.”
Compliance with the CORSIA sustainability criteria requires independent attestation by an ICAO-approved Sustainability Certification Scheme (SCS). Neste decided to pursue this certification from the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) system.
“Cooperation with American, ISCC and all others involved was absolutely critical in achieving this important milestone,” Thorsten Lange continues. “We will be sharing our experiences in ICAO’s upcoming Environmental Report. Because in the end, we need cooperation with all stakeholders within the aviation industry to achieve the emission reductions.”
Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a today solution for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of flying by up to 80% over the fuel’s life cycle compared to fossil jet fuel. Neste-produced SAF is made from sustainably sourced, 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials. As a drop-in fuel it can be used with existing aircraft engines and airport fuel infrastructure, requiring no extra investment to them.
