據世界天然氣7月6日消息稱，兩家公司計劃在道達爾能源運營的 La Mède 生物精煉廠開展一項為期四年的研究項目，目標是生產生物燃料。

　　通過光合作用，微藻利用陽光和大氣或工業過程中的二氧化碳來生長。道達爾能源報告說，當它們成熟后，它們可以轉化為具有低碳強度的下一代生物燃料。

　　作為項目的一部分，將建立一個測試平臺。它將能夠比較用于培育微藻的不同創新系統并確定最有效的系統。

　　道達爾能源將提供其在培養和提煉生物質以生產先進生物燃料以及二氧化碳捕獲和利用技術方面的專業知識。

　　威立雅將利用其在水領域的專業知識，優化微藻水環境管理，開發藻類生物質，作為二氧化碳捕獲的有效解決方案。

　　道達爾能源首席技術官Marie-No?lle semia表示:“生物燃料將使道達爾能源的客戶減少碳足跡，從而有助于實現到2050年與社會共同實現碳中性的目標。”

　　TotalEnergies and Veolia to develop next-generation biofuels

　　The two companies plan to develop a four-year research project at the TotalEnergies-operated La Mède biorefinery with the goal of producing biofuel.

　　Through photosynthesis, microalgae use sunlight and CO2 from the atmosphere or from industrial processes to grow. When mature, they can be transformed into next-generation biofuels with low carbon intensity, TotalEnergies reports.

　　A test platform will be set up as a part of the project. It will be able to compare different innovative systems for growing microalgae and identify the most efficient ones.

　　TotalEnergies will bring its expertise in the cultivation and refining of biomass to produce advanced biofuels, and CO2 capture and utilization technologies.

　　Veolia will contribute with its expertise in the water sector to optimize management of the microalgae’s aquatic environment, the development of algal biomass as an effective solution for CO2 capture.

　　“Biofuels will enable TotalEnergies’ clients to reduce their carbon footprint, and thus contribute to the ambition of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 together with the society,” said Marie-No?lle Semeria, chief technology officer at TotalEnergies.
