ECB与壳牌签署超过25亿升生物燃料协议

    中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工新闻1月28日消息称，ECB集团巴拉圭公司与壳牌贸易（美国）公司签署了一项为期多年的合同，每年将为世界最大的能源公司之一壳牌提供5亿多升可再生柴油和可再生航空燃料。该合同预计将于2024年生效。

    可再生柴油HVO(加氢处理植物油)和可再生航空燃料(合成石蜡煤油/SPK)，也称为可持续航空燃料(SAF)，将由ECB即将在巴拉圭建设的Omega绿色生物精炼厂生产，其HVO、SPK/SAF和绿色石脑油的总生产能力为每天2万桶。

    ECB集团创始人兼首席执行官Erasmo Carlos Battistella表示：“我们很高兴壳牌成为我们最大的购买方。壳牌对脱碳的关注是众所周知的，因此我们合作提供可再生燃料解决方案是非常有意义的，特别是在道路运输和航空领域。该协议还使Omega绿色生物精炼厂成为满足日益增长的低碳燃料需求的主要生产商。”

    由Battistella领导的ECB集团是巴西领先的生物柴油生产商，年产能为8.28亿升。根据今天签署的合同，该集团将成为南半球未来HVO和SAF的领先生产商，提供有助于推动航空和公路运输等关键运输部门脱碳的燃料。

    壳牌美国产品贸易和供应副总裁Odeh Khoury说：“生物燃料必须在实现净零排放的能源体系中发挥关键作用，但是，如果世界要更广泛地供应和使用这些低碳燃料，协作是至关重要的。”

    “我们很高兴与ECB合作，提供低碳生物燃料，以满足全球客户对清洁能源的需求。通过将ECB的生产能力和区域影响力与壳牌的全球生物燃料贸易专业知识相结合，我们能够将大量可再生燃料带入全球市场。”

    Group signs biofuel agreement for more than 2.5 B liters with Shell

    ECB Group Paraguay and Shell Trading (US) Company (“Shell”) have signed a multi-year contract that will provide more than 500 million liters of renewable diesel and renewable jet fuel per year to Shell, one of the world's largest energy companies. The contract is expected to run from 2024.

    The renewable diesel HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and renewable jet fuel (Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene/SPK), also known as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), will be produced at ECB’s to-be-built Omega Green biorefinery in Paraguay, with a total production capacity of 20,000 barrels per day of HVO, SPK/SAF and green naphtha.

    "We are delighted to have Shell as our single largest offtaker,” said founder and CEO of the ECB Group, Erasmo Carlos Battistella. “With Shell’s well-known focus on decarbonization initiatives, it makes perfect sense for us to work together to provide renewable fuels solutions, especially in the road transportation and aviation sectors. This agreement also positions the Omega Green state-of-the-art biorefinery as a major producer to supply a growing demand for low carbon fuels.”

    The ECB Group, led by Battistella, is Brazil's leading producer of biodiesel with an annual capacity of 828 million liters. With the contract signed today, the group establishes itself as the leading future producer of HVO and SAF in the southern hemisphere, providing fuels that help drive decarbonization of key transport sectors such as aviation and road transport.

    “Biofuels must play a key role in achieving a net-zero emissions energy system, but collaboration is critical if the world’s supply and use of these low-carbon fuels is to become more widespread,” said Odeh Khoury, Shell Vice President for Products Trading and Supply, Americas.

    “We are pleased to work with ECB Group to supply low carbon biofuels to meet the demand for cleaner energy from our customers around the globe. By combining ECB’s production capabilities and regional presence with Shell’s global biofuels trading expertise we are able to bring a significant volume of renewable fuels into the global market.”
