据烃加工新闻5月25日消息称，巴拿马的政府和包括SGP生物能源公司在内的能源公司计划开发一个大型的、先进的生物精炼厂，以增加低碳航空燃料的供应。
此举正值航空业寻求到2050年实现净碳排放为零的目标，以及世界各国政府敦促企业增加清洁能源投资之际。
巴拿马的生物精炼厂将于2026年底完工，届时将每天生产18万桶(每年26亿加仑)生物燃料，包括可持续航空燃料(SAF)和可再生船用柴油。
该项目加入了过去几年来承诺生产SAF的公司的一系列公告。航空业被认为比其他类型的运输业更难脱碳，因此航空业需要大量增加SAF的产量才能达到净零碳排放。
根据国际航空运输协会的分析，产量必须从2025年的估计80亿升增加到2050年的近4500亿升。

Panama to develop largest advanced biorefinery to make lower-carbon aviation fuel
The government of Panama and energy companies, including SGP BioEnergy, plan to develop a major, advanced biorefinery to increase supply of lower-carbon aviation fuel.
The move comes as the airline industry seeks to achieve a goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050 and as governments worldwide are pressing companies to increase clean energy investment.
The biorefinery in Panama will produce 180,000 barrels per day (2.6 billion gallons per year) of biofuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable marine diesel, when it is complete at the end of 2026.
The project joins a flurry of other announcements from companies that have pledged in the last few years to produce SAF. The airline industry is considered harder to decarbonize than other types of transportation, so a massive ramp-up in SAF output will be needed for aviation to reach net zero.
Production will have to rise from an estimated 8 billion liters (211 million U.S. gallons) in 2025 to nearly 450 billion liters (119 billion U.S. gallons) in 2050, according to an analysis from the International Air Transport Association.
SAF produces lower emissions than traditional petroleum-based jet fuel by utilizing feedstocks including soybean oil, used cooking oil and tallow, but it is more expensive to produce.
