I-Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation namuhla imemezele ukuphothulwa ngempumelelo kwendiza yokuqala emhlabeni ye-trans-Atlantic isebenzisa u-100% we-sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Ifezwe ngoNovemba 19, indiza yenzeke ngo- IGulfstream G600 indiza, eyasuka ekomkhulu lenkampani e-Savannah futhi yahlala amahora angu-6, imizuzu engu-56 kamuva Isikhumulo sezindiza saseFarnborough eNgilandi.
Inikwa amandla izinjini ze-Pratt & Whitney PW815GA, zombili zisebenzisa u-100% SAF, le mishini ibonisa amandla okusetshenziswa kwendiza okuvuselelekayo okuvuselelwayo esikhathini esizayo, afaka ikhabhoni ephansi, isulfure nama-aromatics. Idatha eqoqwe kusuka kule ndiza yokubekezela izosiza i-Gulfstream nabahlinzeki bayo ababalulekile ukukala ukuhambisana kwendiza namafutha avuselelekayo anephunga eliphansi lesikhathi esizayo, ikakhulukazi ngaphansi kwamazinga okushisa abandayo isikhathi eside sendiza.
I-SAF esetshenziswe endizeni ikhiqizwe yi-World Energy futhi yethulwa ngabe-World Fuel Services. Yakhiwe ngo-100% we-Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (i-HEFA ehlanzekile), ene-CO70 ekhishwa okungenani ngo-2% yomjikelezo wokuphila ophansi kunophethiloli wejethi osuselwa ezinsalela, okusiza ekwehliseni umthelela wendiza esimeni sezulu. Ukwengeza, lesi siphethiloli sephunga elimnandi esineziro sinomthelela oncishisiwe kukhwalithi yomoya yendawo kanye nokuqukethwe kwesibabule esiphansi kakhulu, okunganciphisa imithelela engeyona i-CO2 yemvelo.
Abanye ozakwethu ababalulekile abasekela lesi senzakalo esiyingqopha-mlando bahlanganisa i-Honeywell, i-Safran ne-Eaton.
“Sithanda ukubonga bonke ozakwethu ngosizo lwabo ekwenzeni leli bhanoyi eliyingqophamlando lenzeke, kanye nokusebenzisana kwabo okuqhubekayo ekusebenzisaneni nomphakathi owandisiwe we-SAF ukulwela indlela yemboni yezokundiza ekusetshenzisweni kwe-SAF ngo-100%,” kusho uMark Burns, umongameli. , Gulfstream.
I-Gulfstream ibe ngumkhiqizi wokuqala wemishini yendiza yebhizinisi endizeni nge-100% SAF.
