据阿拉伯贸易2月8日消息称，波音宣布与EPIC燃料公司达成一项200万加仑(750万升)的混合可持续航空燃料(SAF)供应协议，到2022年为其在美国的商业飞机提供动力。
该协议是飞机制造商宣布的规模最大的SAF采购，进一步表明波音对航空脱碳的承诺。
波音公司环境可持续性部门副总裁Sheila Remes 说：“SAF是一种安全、可靠、立杆见影的解决方案，将有助于实现我们行业到2050年实现净零碳排放的长期承诺。波音公司一直是实现可持续航空燃料的先锋。通过这项协议，我们将减少我们的碳足迹，并为客户交付SAF，以及我们自己的运营。”
可持续生产的航空燃料，可以在燃料的使用周期内减少80%的二氧化碳排放，并有可能在未来达到100%，被广泛认为是未来20到30年内实现航空脱碳的最直接和最大的潜力。

Boeing buys 2m gallons of green aviation fuel
Boeing has announced a supply agreement for two million gallons (7.5 million litres) of blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with EPIC Fuels to power its commercial airplanes operations in the US through 2022.
The agreement is the largest announced SAF procurement by an airframer and further demonstrates Boeing's commitment to decarbonising aviation.
"SAF is a safe, proven, immediate solution that will help achieve our industry's long-term commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050," said Sheila Remes, Boeing vice president of Environmental Sustainability. "Boeing has been a pioneer in making sustainable aviation fuels a reality. Through this agreement we will reduce our carbon footprint and have SAF available for customer deliveries as well as our own operations."
Sustainably produced jet fuel, which reduces CO2 emissions by as much as 80% over the fuel's life cycle with the potential to reach 100% in the future, is widely recognized as offering the most immediate and greatest potential to decarbonise aviation over the next 20 to 30 years.
