據美國鉆井地帶網站2023年6月20日報道，法國能源巨頭道達爾能源已著手加大其可持續航空燃料(SAF)的生產，在多個項目上投資超過7.4億歐元(8.08億美元)。此舉是道達爾能源對其航空客戶呼聲的回應。

道達爾能源表示，從2028年起，該公司將能夠年產50萬噸SAF，并補充說，這將足以滿足逐步增加的歐洲SAF混合要求，到2030年將達到6%。

道達爾能源在聲明中表示，該公司將投資4億歐元將Grandpuits工廠改造成一個零原油平臺，主要專注于從動物脂肪和廢食用油等循環原料中生產SAF。到2025年，Grandpuits工廠將能夠年產21萬噸的SAF，并且已經宣布了一項新的投資，到2027年將再年產7.5萬噸SAF。

6月初，道達爾能源表示將把Grandpuits工廠的SAF產量增加一倍，使該基地的SAF年產能達到28.5萬噸，幾乎是2020年宣布產能的兩倍。

在諾曼底地區，道達爾能源表示已開始在其Gonfreville煉油廠從廢棄食用油中協同加工SAF。道達爾能源公司計劃從2025年起將該工廠的SAF年產量提高到4萬噸。此外，在與航空合作伙伴開展技術工作之后，一旦這種生產方法得到ASTM的批準，道達爾能源將通過共同加工拉梅德生物廠生產的HVO生物柴油，額外年產15萬噸SAF。

在拉梅德工廠，道達爾能源表示已投資3.4億歐元將這個工廠改造為生物煉油廠。在拉梅德生產的生物柴油已經在勒阿弗爾附近道達爾能源的烏達勒工廠用于生產SAF。道達爾能源公司補充說，它正在研究一項新的投資，在2024年，在拉梅的工廠有能力處理100%來自循環經濟的廢物(用過的食用油和動物脂肪)，通過共同加工生產生物燃料和SAF。

道達爾能源的聲明稱，除法國外，道達爾能源的目標是到2030年在歐洲、美國、日本和韓國的生產單位年產150萬噸的SAF，到那時占世界市場的10%。

道達爾能源董事長兼首席執行官潘彥磊表示，道達爾能源正在采取行動，以滿足航空業減少碳足跡的強勁需求。SAF對于減少航空運輸的二氧化碳排放至關重要，其發展完全符合公司的氣候目標，即到2050年與社會一起實現凈零排放。

TotalEnergies Investing In Multiple SAF Projects

TotalEnergies has set the wheels in motion to increase its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, with over €740 million ($808 million) of investment in multiple projects. The move comes as a response to calls from its aviation customers.

From 2028, the company said it will be in a position to produce half a million tons of SAF, adding that this would be enough to cover the gradual increase in the European SAF blending mandate, set at six percent for 2030.

The company said in its statement that it will invest €400 million to convert the Grandpuits site into a zero-crude platform, primarily focused on producing SAF from circular feedstock such as animal fat and used cooking oil. Grandpuits will be able to produce 210,000 tons/y of SAF as of 2025, and a new investment has been announced to produce a further 75,000 tons/y by 2027.

Earlier in June, TotalEnergies said it will be doubling SAF production at Grandpuits, bringing the site’s annual production capacity to 285,000 tons, i.e. almost double the capacity announced in 2020.

In Normandy, TotalEnergies said it has started co-processing SAF from used cooking oil at its Gonfreville refinery. The company plans to increase annual production at the site to 40,000 tons from 2025. In addition, following technical work carried out with its aeronautical partners, TotalEnergies will produce an additional 150,000 tons/y of SAF by co-processing HVO biodiesel produced at La Mède as soon as this production method is approved by the ASTM.

At La Mède, TotalEnergies said it has invested €340 million to convert its refinery into a biorefinery. Biodiesel produced at La Mède is already being used to make SAF at the TotalEnergies Oudalle plant near Le Havre. TotalEnergies added it is studying a new investment to have the capacity to process at La Mède, by 2024, 100 percent waste from the circular economy (used cooking oil and animal fat) to produce biofuels and SAF by co-processing.

Beyond France, TotalEnergies aims to produce 1.5 million tons/y of SAF by 2030 at production units in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, representing 10 percent of the world market by that date, the company’s statement reads.

"TotalEnergies is taking action to meet the strong demand from the aviation industry to reduce its carbon footprint. Sustainable aviation fuel is essential to reducing the CO2 emissions of air transport, and its development is fully aligned with the Company's climate ambition to get to net zero by 2050, together with society," said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies.
