Abstract:

In order to ensure the sustainable development of the air transport industry and achieve the greenhouse gas reduction targets, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has adopted the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). ICAO has planned to enforce a series of implementation and certification standards under CORSIA framework, which would have a significant impact on China’s civil aviation transport, fossil aviation turbine fuel production and application of aviation biofuel (i.e. Bio-SPK) technology development. In view of this new trend, this paper gives an overview of CORSIA and summarizes the basic framework of CORSIA sustainability criteria for sustainable aviation fuels. Then this review briefly introduces the recent progress in the large-scale application of sustainable Bio-SPK in China and abroad. It is analyzed further what potential impacts would be on the related major industries in China. The countermeasures and development suggestions about the CORSIA and promotion of sustainable Bio-SPK are put forward based on the above ones. It is pointed out that sustainable Bio-SPK have become the most important measure to address the global climate change, as well as a fundamental way to realize greenhouse gas reduction targets for China's civil aviation industry. This conclusion shows that China should speed up to develop the national standards and specifications equal to CORSIA sustainability criteria and work together to deal with international negotiations. It is also proposed that China should accelerate the construction and operation of demo-plants for Bio-SPK production, and that all parties of the whole chain have to cooperate with each other to build up a full supply chain including “raw materials-refining-transportation-refueling-application”.

摘要：

为了保障航空运输业可持续发展，实现温室气体减排目标，国际民航组织通过了“国际航空碳抵消和减排计划”，并计划强制推行一系列实施与认证标准，这将对我国民航运输、化石航煤生产和航空生物燃料技术开发应用产生重大影响。针对这一新的变化趋势，本文介绍了国际民航组织碳减排计划概况，梳理总结了航空替代燃料可持续性标准框架内容，简述了国内外可持续航空生物燃料规模化应用现状，分析了对相关主要行业可能产生的影响，在此基础上提出应对措施及发展建议。研究指出，可持续航空生物燃料是民航业应对气候变化、实现碳减排的根本途径和最重要措施，产业链上下游各方应充分认清当前发展形势，加快制定完善国内相关规范与标准，协同配合共同应对国际磋商与谈判，同时加速推进工业生产示范装置建设和运行，并广泛开展交流与合作，建立完善“原料-炼制-运输-加注-使用”的完整产业链，实现行业可持续发展。
