埃克森美孚试用海洋生物燃料油

    中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工新闻9月11日消息称，埃克森美孚与船运公司Stena Bulk在荷兰鹿特丹港安全完成了首个海洋生物燃料油的海上试验，并取得了成功。

    这一海洋生物燃料油是一种0.50%硫残留基燃料（VLSFO），采用第二代基于废物的FAME组件（ISCC认证）进行处理。该产品将于今年晚些时候上市，首先在鹿特丹上市，然后在埃克森美孚港口网络更广泛地推出。

    海上试验的设计和完成是埃克森美孚评估和试验方案的一部分，目的是证明在使用较高水平的生物成分时，不会对设备产生不良影响。

    海上试验还表明，与传统海洋燃料相比，可减少约40%的二氧化碳排放的海洋生物燃料可用于相关的海洋应用，而无需进行改造，并将帮助运营商朝着实现碳减排目标迈出重要的一步。

    埃克森美孚公司船用燃料市场经理Cowan Lee说：“随着新型海洋燃料的上市，对可靠且符合ISO标准的高质量燃料的需求越来越大。埃克森美孚的新型船用生物燃料油已经过广泛测试，符合含硫标准，可以满足不断增长的需求，并且可以为帮助运营商减少二氧化碳排放做出重大贡献。”

    Lee补充说：“随着运营商面临日益严格的法规以及来自客户的巨大压力，以证明他们减少温室气体排放的承诺，这是提供运营商所需的低排放燃料的重要一步。”

    ExxonMobil trials marine biofuel oil

    ExxonMobil has safely completed a successful sea trial using the company’s first marine biofuel oil with shipping company Stena Bulk, bunkered in the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

    The marine biofuel oil is a 0.50% sulfur residual-based fuel (VLSFO) processed with a second generation waste-based FAME component (ISCC certified). The product will be available later this year, initially in Rotterdam before a wider launch across the ExxonMobil port network.

    The sea trial was designed and completed as part of ExxonMobil’s assessment and trial protocol to demonstrate that there were no adverse equipment effects when operating with higher levels of bio components.

    The sea trial also demonstrated that the marine biofuel oil, which can provide a CO2 emission reduction of up to approximately 40% compared with conventional marine fuel can be used in a relevant marine application without modification and can help operators take a significant step towards meeting their carbon emissions reduction targets.

    “With new marine fuels coming to market recently, the need for quality fuels that are both reliable and ISO compliant has never been greater,” said Cowan Lee, Marine Fuels Marketing Manager at ExxonMobil. “ExxonMobil’s new marine biofuel oil meets that growing need as it has been extensively tested, is sulfur compliant and can make a significant contribution in helping operators reduce their CO2 emissions.”

    “As operators face increasingly stringent regulations and significant pressure from customers to demonstrate their commitment to reducing GHG emissions, this is an important next step in providing the lower-emissions fuels that operators want and need,” Lee added.
