该项目将在日本制纸富士工厂建立的废纸处理和回收设施上进行。该设施每天可处理1至3吨的废纸，提 取约300升生物乙醇。废纸中的塑料成分将被剔除，剩余的纸纤维将被发酵。至于生物乙醇的用途尚待 确定。 中化新网讯 近日，引能仕控股旗下核心子公司引能仕与凸版印刷控股公司宣布，将于2027年上半年启 动一项验证实验，即由废纸中提取生物乙醇。此举不仅可以实现资源循环利用，还可以稳定供应用作脱 碳燃料的生物乙醇。 如果进展顺利，预计该技术将于2030财年后实现商业化。生物乙醇可用作汽车燃料，也可用作可再生航 空燃料(SAF)的原料。 ...

布托纳斯石化公司计划2029年启动该甲醇工厂运营，届时恰逢印尼全面实施B40和B50生物柴油掺混政 策，需要大量脂肪酸甲酯(FAME)生产。塔卢伦邦表示："甲醇是生物柴油合成的关键原料，随着印尼扩 大可再生燃料计划，甲醇需求预计将大幅上升。" 塔卢伦邦指出，布托纳斯石化公司已选定法国液化空气集团作为技术提供商，其蒸汽甲烷重整(SMR)设 计在"可扩展性、能源整合和环境性能等方面进行了优化"。这座占地130公顷的工厂每年将使用9000万 立方英尺的天然气和2400万立方英尺的二氧化碳作为原料，原料直接来自附近由印尼国家石油公司子公 司Cepu运营的JTB天然气处理厂。塔卢伦邦证实，与印尼国家石油公司的《天然气销售协议》谈判已进 入后期，计划2025年第四季度签署。他表示，协同利用排放的二氧化碳不仅有助于降低排放量，还能提 高甲醇产量，符合全球低碳标准。 布托纳斯石化公司还计划在甲醇工厂旁建设生物乙醇工厂，支持印尼清洁能源转型，但该项目目前处 于"早期开发阶段"。 中化新网讯 近日，印尼新兴企业布托纳斯石化公司总裁伊格纳西乌斯・塔卢伦邦表示，公司正计划投 资10亿美元在东爪哇省博佐内戈罗新建一座年产100万吨的甲 ...
