道达尔将投产拉梅德生物精炼厂

中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工在线 7月3日消息称，道达尔已在法国东南部的拉梅德生物精炼厂开始生产，首批生物燃料即将投产。

这是将一座旧炼油厂改造成新能源综合设施的最后一步。该项目于2015年启动，资本支出为2.75亿欧元。

作为场地改造的一部分，改造项目65%的订单授予了当地企业，创造了800个就业岗位，创造了1.4亿欧元的收入。道达尔还投资500万欧元用于福斯-埃坦德贝尔地区的经济发展，特别是通过支持创造就业机会、吸引工业项目和支持承包商的举措。

该生物精炼厂可生产50万吨加氢处理植物油。拉梅德将为航空业生产生物柴油和生物喷气燃料。它是专门为加工各种类型的油而设计的。它的生物燃料将由100%的可持续植物油(菜籽、棕榈、向日葵等)制成60%至70%，其中30%至40%来自处理过的废物(动物脂肪、食用油、残渣等)，以促进循环经济。

道达尔还承诺每年加工不超过30万吨棕榈油和至少5万吨法国种植的油菜籽，为国内农业创造了另一个市场。所有加工过的油都将通过欧盟标准认证。此外，作为其棕榈油采购过程的一部分，道达尔正采取额外步骤，加强对可持续性的控制和对人权的尊重。

炼油与化工业务总裁伯纳德•皮纳特尔表示：“我要感谢这些团队在过去四年里为改造我们的拉梅德炼油厂所做的一切努力。生物燃料是完全可再生的，是减少地面和空中运输碳排放的一个及时有效的解决方案。当用可持续的原材料生产时，比如在拉梅德，它们排放的碳比化石燃料少50%以上。我们的生物精炼厂将允许我们在法国生产以前进口的生物燃料。”

Total starts up La Mede biorefinery

Total has started up production at the La Mede biorefinery in southeastern France, with the first batches of biofuel coming off the line.

This is the final step in converting a former oil refinery into a new energies complex. Launched in 2015, the project represents a capital expenditure of €275 million.

As part of the site transformation, 65% of the orders to remodel the complex were awarded to local businesses, representing 800 jobs and €140 million in revenue. Total also invested €5 million in the economic development of the Fos-Etang de Berre region, notably by supporting initiatives to create jobs, attract industrial projects and support contractors.

The biorefinery can produce 500 000 t of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). La Mede will produce both biodiesel and biojet fuel for the aviation industry. It was specifically designed to process all types of oil. Its biofuels will be made 60 to 70% from 100% sustainable vegetable oils (rapeseed, palm, sunflower, etc.), with 30 to 40% from treated waste (animal fats, cooking oil, residues, etc.) to promote a circular economy.

Total has also pledged to process no more than 300 000 tpy of palm oil and at least 50 000 tonnes of French-grown rapeseed, creating another market for domestic agriculture. All the oils processed will be certified sustainable to European Union standards. In addition, as part of its palm oil procurement process, Total is taking an extra step by introducing strengthened control of sustainability and respect for Human Rights.

“I’d like to thank the teams for all their hard work these last four years to convert our La Mede refinery,” said Bernard Pinatel, President, Refining & Chemicals. “Biofuels are fully renewable and an immediately available solution to cut carbon emissions from ground and air transportation. When produced from sustainable raw materials, as at La Mede, they emit over 50% less carbon than fossil fuels. Our biorefinery will allow us to make biofuels in France that were previously imported.”
