據(jù)烴加工新聞6月24日消息稱，克羅地亞石油和天然氣公司INA表示，計劃投資2.5億歐元(2.824億美元)在中部城鎮(zhèn)錫薩克建造一家生物精煉廠，以幫助減少碳足跡。

該公司的最大股東是匈牙利能源集團MOL和克羅地亞政府。該公司已向克羅地亞經(jīng)濟與創(chuàng)業(yè)部申請戰(zhàn)略項目批準(zhǔn)。

它還在尋求歐盟的資助，因為克羅地亞和匈牙利都是歐盟成員國，它希望到2050年將碳排放降至零。

INA董事會主席Sandor Fasimon在一份聲明中說：“歐盟和克羅地亞政府的支持是最終實施這一重要項目的關(guān)鍵先決條件……這符合綠色計劃和歐洲能源戰(zhàn)略。”

INA擁有兩家精煉廠，其中一家位于里耶卡，另一家較小的工廠位于錫薩克，該公司正在那里開發(fā)一個從2021年起生產(chǎn)瀝青的工業(yè)設(shè)施。

INA表示，作為工業(yè)綜合體的一部分，煉油廠將使用第二代、可持續(xù)的生物質(zhì)以及綠色能源生產(chǎn)高級生物乙醇。

今年2月，INA與法國Axens簽署了一項協(xié)議，授權(quán)后者提供纖維素乙醇技術(shù)，并為先進(jìn)生物乙醇生產(chǎn)提供基礎(chǔ)工程設(shè)計。

INA計劃投資5000萬歐元建立一個原材料供應(yīng)鏈，主要用于種植生物質(zhì)作物芒草，芒草被認(rèn)為是一種可持續(xù)的生物燃料來源。

Croatian oil firm INA aims for $282 million biorefinery investment

Croatia’s oil and gas firm INA said it aims to invest 250 million euros ($282.4 million) to build a biorefinery in the central town of Sisak to help reduce its carbon footprint.

The company, whose biggest shareholders are Hungary’s energy group MOL and the Croatian government, has applied for strategic project approval at Croatia’s ministry of economy and entrepreneurship.

It is also seeking European Union funding, as the bloc of which Croatia and Hungary are members, aspires to cut emissions to zero by 2050.

“The support of the EU and the Croatian government are key preconditions for the final implementation of this important project ... which fits into the Green Plan and European Energy Strategy,” Sandor Fasimon, INA Board President, said in a statement.

The Croatian government had no immediate comment.

INA owns two refineries, one in Rijeka and a smaller one in Sisak, where it is developing an industrial facility producing bitumen from 2021.

As part of the industrial complex, the refinery would produce advanced bioethanol from second-generation, sustainable biomass, as well as green power, INA said.

In February, INA signed a deal with Axens, awarding the French group the licence to supply cellulose ethanol technology and the basic engineering design for advanced bioethanol production.

INA plans to invest 50 million euros to establish a raw material supply chain, primarily into plantations of the biomass crop miscanthus, which is regarded as a sustainable source of biofuel.
