必和必拓完成對船舶生物燃料首次加注

　　據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)4月15日新加坡報(bào)道，必和必拓集團(tuán)（BHP）周四表示，該公司本月完成了對船舶的首次生物燃料加注試運(yùn)行，這是必和必拓努力減少碳排放的一部分。

　　這也是世界上最大的燃料加注中心新加坡首次用生物燃料為船只加油。

　　4月4日，從經(jīng)認(rèn)證的食用油、原油和污水污泥等可持續(xù)原料來源提取的混合生物燃料被用于為從澳大利亞開往歐洲的8.1萬載重噸干散貨輪Kira Oldendorff號。

　　必和必拓發(fā)言人SatishRajmohan表示，這種混合燃料不需要對發(fā)動機(jī)或其他部件進(jìn)行重大修改。

　　這家礦業(yè)巨頭正在探索使用液化天然氣和生物燃料等船用燃料來替代燃油，目的是在運(yùn)輸產(chǎn)品時(shí)減少40%的碳排放，作為該公司2030年氣候變化目標(biāo)的一部分。

　　必和必拓在一份聲明中說，與傳統(tǒng)的殘余燃料油相比，所使用的生物燃料混合物據(jù)說可以減少80%-90%的二氧化碳排放量。

　　Rajmohan稱，已經(jīng)裝載了足夠的燃料來進(jìn)行為期數(shù)天的試驗(yàn)，這是該船航行的重要部分。他以保密協(xié)議為由，拒絕就生物燃料價(jià)格置評。

　　航運(yùn)業(yè)正在研究一系列技術(shù)，以期達(dá)到國際海事組織的目標(biāo)，即到2050年將溫室氣體排放總量從2008年的水平減少50%。

　　據(jù)咨詢公司伍德麥肯茲（Wood Mackenzie）表示，隨著對航運(yùn)業(yè)更嚴(yán)格的碳排放規(guī)定的實(shí)施以及替代燃料使用量的攀升，未來30年全球?qū)κ突萌剂系男枨髮⑾陆怠?/span>

　　這種生物燃料由GoodFuels與德國航運(yùn)集團(tuán)Oldendorff Carriers和新加坡海事及港務(wù)局合作提供。

　　BHP completes its first refuelling of a ship with biofuel

　　BHP Group Ltd said on Thursday it completed its first refuelling of a ship with biofuel this month in a trial run that is part of its efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

　　It was also the first time that a ship has been refuelled with biofuel in Singapore, the world's largest bunkering hub.

　　A biofuel blend derived from certified sustainable feedstock sources such as cooking oil, crude tall oil and sewage sludge was used on April 4 to refuel the 81,000 deadweight tonne dry bulk carrier Kira Oldendorff which was on its way from Australia to Europe.

　　The blend required no significant modifications to the engine or other components, BHP spokesman Satish Rajmohan said.

　　The mining giant is exploring the use of bunker fuels such as liquefied natural gas and biofuels to replace fuel oil, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 40% when shipping its products as part of the company's climate change goals for 2030.

　　The biofuel blend used is said to reduce well-to-exhaust CO2 emissions by 80% to 90% compared with conventional residual fuel oils, BHP said in a statement.

　　Rajmohan said enough was loaded to trial the biofuel over a number of days, a significant portion of the vessel's voyage. He declined to comment on the price of the biofuel, citing a confidentiality agreement.

　　The shipping industry is examining a range of technologies as it looks to meet an International Maritime Organization target of a 50% reduction in overall greenhouse gas emissions from 2008 levels by 2050.

　　Consultancy Wood Mackenzie says global demand for oil-based marine fuels is set to fall in the next three decades as stricter carbon emissions rules for the shipping industry kick in and alternative fuel use climbs.

　　The biofuel was supplied by GoodFuels and in partnership with German shipping group Oldendorff Carriers and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
