据道琼斯3月4日消息，奥地利油气公司OMV周四表示，公司计划投资约3,000万欧元(3,620万美元)在奥地利施韦夏特炼油厂内新建一套生产第二代生物燃料的试验装置。
OMV表示，该装置将成为施韦夏特炼油厂现有价值链的一部分，将使用一种催化剂从甘油中生产丙醇。
该公司表示:“该装置将把废弃物质甘油转化为生物酒精，添加到汽油中可以减少其二氧化碳排放。”
根据OMV的数据，该装置的年产能将达到125万升丙醇，从而减少二氧化碳排放约1800吨。该装置预计将于2023年投入使用。

OMV to Build Pilot Plant for Second-Generation Biofuels in Austria
OMV AG said Thursday that it plans to invest around 30 million euros ($36.2 million) to build a pilot plant that produces second-generation biofuels at its Schwechat Refinery in Austria.
The Austrian oil-and-gas company said the plant, which will become part of the existing value chain at the refinery, will use a catalyst to produce propanol from glycerin.
"A typical refining process will see the waste-based substance glycerin turned into bio-alcohol, which when added to gasoline reduces its CO2 footprint," it said.
The plant's capacity will be 1.25 million liters of propanol per year, leading to a carbon-dioxide reduction of around 1,800 metric tons, according to OMV. It is expected to be operational in 2023.
