据烃加工新闻1月11日消息称，埃克森美孚正在扩大其对生物燃料的兴趣，这种生物燃料可以帮助减少运输部门的温室气体排放，收购了挪威生物燃料公司Biojet AS 49.9%的股份，该公司计划将林业和木质建筑垃圾转化为低排放的生物燃料和生物燃料组分。
Biojet AS计划开发多达5个生产生物燃料和生物燃料组分的设施。该公司预计将于2025年在挪威Follum的一家制造工厂开始商业化生产。该协议允许埃克森美孚每年购买多达300万桶的产品，基于5个设施的潜在产能。
埃克森美孚燃料和润滑油公司总裁Ian Carr表示:“与Biojet AS的协议推动了埃克森美孚为运输行业提供低排放产品的努力。利用我们在Slagen终端的使用权，我们可以有效地在挪威和整个西北欧国家销售生物燃料。”
生物燃料和生物燃料组分可以满足挪威、欧洲联盟和英国法规对先进燃料的要求。根据欧盟可再生能源指令，与以石油为基础的柴油相比，由木材废料生产的生物燃料可以帮助减少85%的生命周期温室气体排放。
Biojet AS生产的生物燃料可用于乘用车和重型卡车。随着低排放生物燃料市场的扩大，海上运输和航空运输可能会有更多的机会。
自2000年以来，埃克森美孚已投资100多亿美元用于研究、开发和部署低排放能源解决方案。

ExxonMobil expands interest in biofuels, acquires stake in Biojet AS
ExxonMobil is expanding its interests in biofuels that can help reduce GHG emissions in the transportation sector, acquiring a 49.9% stake in Biojet AS, a Norwegian biofuels company that plans to convert forestry and wood-based construction waste into lower-emissions biofuels and biofuel components.
Biojet AS plans to develop up to five facilities to produce the biofuels and biofuel components. The company anticipates commercial production to begin in 2025 at a manufacturing plant to be built in Follum, Norway. The agreement enables ExxonMobil to purchase as much as 3 MM bbl of the products per year, based on the potential capacity of five facilities.
“The agreement with Biojet AS advances ExxonMobil’s efforts to provide lower-emissions products for the transportation sector,” said Ian Carr, president of ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants Company. “Using our access at the Slagen terminal, we can efficiently distribute biofuels in Norway and to countries throughout northwest Europe.”
Biofuels and biofuel components can meet the requirements for advanced fuels under Norwegian, European Union and United Kingdom regulations. According to the European Union Renewable Energy Directive, biofuels produced from wood waste can help reduce life-cycle GHG emissions by 85% compared to petroleum-based diesel.
When produced, Biojet AS’s biofuels can be used for passenger vehicles and heavy trucks. Additional opportunities for marine transportation and aviation may develop as the market for lower-emissions biofuels expands.
Since 2000, ExxonMobil has invested more than $10 B to research, develop and deploy lower-emission energy solutions.
