据钻机地带8月24日报道，日前，法国能源巨头道达尔（TotalEnergies）宣布，其正在开发一种用于赛车比赛时的100%可再生燃料。
据道达尔透露，该燃料将从下赛季开始在国际汽联(FIA)世界耐力锦标赛（WEC）上使用，包括2022年勒芒（Le Mans）24小时赛和欧洲勒芒系列赛（ELMS）。该公司指出，这款名为Excellium Racing 100的新燃料将以生物乙醇为基础生产，原料来自法国农业产业的葡萄酒残留物，以及法国道达尔公司在里昂附近的Feyzin炼油厂生产的ETBE，原料也来自循环经济。
道达尔表示，燃料为所有参与者开启了耐力赛和赛车运动能源转型的新篇章。据该公司称，这将使赛车的二氧化碳排放量立即减少至少65%。
道达尔的董事长兼首席执行官帕特里克·波扬内（Patrick Pouyanné）在一份公司声明中表示，我们的目标是成为能源转型的主要参与者，并与社会一起到2050年实现净零碳排放。并补充道，TotalEnergies通过将其战略应用于赛车运动，为其客户和合作伙伴的发展提供支持：可持续液体燃料、电力、电池、混合动力、氢气.......先进的生物燃料在帮助运输部门立即减少二氧化碳排放方面起着不可否认的作用。
他继续道，最快将于2022年在赛车比赛中使用的这种100%可再生燃料，是一个完美的例子。随着我们成为一家广泛的能源公司，赛车场比以往任何时候都更像是道达尔一个露天实验室。
国际汽联主席让·托德（Jean Todt）表示，耐力赛从本质上来说一直是一个优秀的研发平台，其是FIA世界耐力锦标赛转向100%可持续燃料的一个重要里程碑。并补充道，国际汽联的主要目标是在其汽车运动项目组合中实施可持续能源，从而为减少二氧化碳排放铺平道路，完美地反映了我们的比赛道路战略以及国际汽联的目标驱动活动。
国际汽联WEC & ELMS首席执行官Frédéric Lequien表示，道达尔正在为其他公司铺平道路，并创造100%的可再生燃料，这是非常令人鼓舞的。并补充道，我坚信WEC和ELMS是道达尔试用其新型创新Excellium Racing 100燃料的理想场所。耐力赛是对所有道路相关产品的终极考验，我们很高兴道达尔选择我们的锦标赛和勒芒来帮助推出这款尖端的新产品。
自2018年以来，道达尔能源一直是勒芒24小时活动的创始人和组织者——西方汽车俱乐部(A.C.O.)的合作伙伴和官方燃料供应商。该公司将生物乙醇描述为一种农业副产品，由葡萄酒工业的残留物如酒渣和葡萄渣制成。该公司强调，经过几个步骤（工业发酵、蒸馏然后脱水），然后将该基料与ETBE（乙基叔丁基醚）以及由道达尔开发的Excellium技术发布的几种高性能添加剂混合。
道达尔在其网站上指出，生物能源在减少排放方面，特别是在交通方面，有着至关重要的贡献。该公司指出，20多年来，其一直是生物燃料领域的先驱。该公司将生物能源描述为其成为负责任的能源巨头的雄心壮志的完美契合。
2020年5月，TotalEnergies（当时的名称为Total）宣布了到2050年实现净零排放的雄心。今年5月，该公司宣布股东批准了一项决议，将该公司的名称改为TotalEnergies，“从而将其战略转型定位为一家以其身份命名的广泛能源公司”。

TotalEnergies Developing Renewable Motorsport Fuel
TotalEnergies (NYSE: TTE) has announced that it is developing a 100 percent renewable fuel for motorsport competition.
The fuel will be introduced from next season at the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), including the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2022, and at the European Le Mans Series (ELMS), TotalEnergies revealed. Named Excellium Racing 100, the new fuel will be produced align="justify"> TotalEnergies said the fuel opens a new chapter in the endurance racing and motorsport energy transition for all the actors involved. It should allow an immediate reduction of at least 65 percent of the racing cars’ CO2 missions, according to the company.
“Our ambition is to be a major player in the energy transition and to get to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, together with society,” Patrick Pouyanné, the chairman and chief executive officer of TotalEnergies, said in a company statement.
“TotalEnergies is supporting its customers and partners in their evolutions, by thus applying its strategy to motorsport: sustainable liquid fuels, electricity, batteries, hybridization, hydrogen... Advanced biofuels have an undeniable part to play in helping the transport sector to reduce its CO2 emissions immediately,” he added.
“This 100 percent renewable fuel, that will be made available in motor racing as soon as 2022, is a perfect illustration. As we are becoming a broad energy company, the racing track is more than ever an open-air laboratory for TotalEnergies,” the CEO went align="justify"> Jean Todt, the FIA President, said, “endurance racing, by its nature, has always served as an excellent research and development platform and it is an important milestone to have the FIA World Endurance Championship switching to 100 percent sustainable fuel”.
“It’s FIA’s major goal to implement sustainable energy sources across its portfolio of motor sport disciplines, thus paving the way in the reduction of CO2 emission, perfectly reflecting our race-to-road strategy as well as the FIA’s PurposeDriven movement,” he added.
Frédéric Lequien, the FIA WEC & ELMS CEO, said, “it is extremely encouraging that TotalEnergies is paving the way for others and creating a 100 percent renewable fuel”.
“I firmly believe that the WEC and ELMS are the ideal playground for TotalEnergies in order to trial its new innovative Excellium Racing 100 fuel. Endurance racing is the ultimate test for all road-related products and we are delighted that TotalEnergies has chosen our championships and Le Mans to help launch this cutting-edge new creation,” he added.
TotalEnergies has been the partner and official fuel supplier of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (A.C.O.), the creator and organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, since 2018. The company describes bioethanol as an agricultural by-product made from residues from the wine industry, such as wine lees and grape pomace. Following several steps (industrial fermentation, distillation then dehydration), this base is then blended with ETBE (Ethyl Tertio Butyl Ether) and with several performance additives issued from the Excellium technology developed by TotalEnergies, the company highlights.
TotalEnergies notes align="justify"> In May 2020, TotalEnergies, then named Total, announced its ambition to get to net-zero emissions by 2050. In May this year, the company announced that shareholders approved a resolution to change the company’s name to TotalEnergies, “thereby anchoring its strategic transformation into a broad energy company in its identity
