在接受 CNBC-TV18 的采访时，荷兰皇家航空公司（KLM）战略、可持续发展与转型部门的高级副总裁齐塔·谢莱肯斯（Zita Schellekens）表示，印度具有成为可持续航空燃料（SAF）生产国的巨大潜力。她指出，印度的航空市场正在快速增长，同时政府也非常重视可持续发展问题。
Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Zita Schellekens, Senior Vice President, Strategy, Sustainability & Transformation, KLM, said India has “tremendous potential” to become a successful SAF producer, citing the country’s growing aviation market and the government’s focus on sustainability. India has the potential to emerge as a major sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producer, with scope for partnerships and offtake agreements with Indian producers, Zita Schellekens, Senior Vice President, Strategy, Sustainability & Transformation, KLM, told CNBC-TV18.
“印度完全具备成为成功可持续航空燃料生产国的条件，”齐塔·谢莱肯斯说道。她认为，印度不仅有可能成为主要的可持续航空燃料消费国，也有潜力成为生产国。随着印度航空业的持续快速发展，印度在可持续航空燃料领域具有巨大的发展潜力。
Air France-KLM sees a significant opportunity for India to play a larger role in the sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem, both as a major consumer and as a potential producer, as the country’s aviation sector continues to expand rapidly. “India has all the ingredients to become a successful SAF producer,” Zita Schellekens said.
她表示，这种合作机会不仅限于国内市场；印度可持续航空燃料生产商与国际航空公司之间也有很大的合作空间。荷兰皇家航空公司可以考虑与印度的企业客户建立合作关系，并购买印度生产的可持续航空燃料。
She said the opportunity extends beyond domestic demand, with scope for cooperation between Indian SAF producers and international airlines. Air France-KLM could explore alliances with corporate customers in India as well as offtake agreements for Indian-produced SAF, she said.
齐塔·谢莱肯斯还提到，荷兰皇家航空公司可以与印度的相关方合作，确保在印度生产的可持续航空燃料符合欧洲市场的可持续性标准。
Zita Schellekens added that Air France-KLM could work with Indian stakeholders to ensure that SAF produced in India meets the sustainability criteria required in the European market. SAF remains expensive, supply constrained The push for SAF comes amid significant supply and cost challenges.
然而，目前可持续航空燃料的价格仍然较高，供应也受到限制。她指出，可持续航空燃料的价格是目前传统煤油的两到四倍，而供应不足是导致其价格高昂的关键因素之一。
Zita Schellekens said SAF is currently two to four times more expensive than conventional kerosene. “There’s not enough SAF being produced,” she said, adding that limited availability is one of the key factors contributing to its higher cost.
在欧洲，目前有2%的航空燃料使用比例必须来自可持续航空燃料；荷兰皇家航空公司还通过客户的自愿承诺额外采购可持续航空燃料。
In Europe, there is currently a 2% SAF mandate, with SAF being blended into aviation fuel. Air France-KLM also purchases additional volumes through voluntary commitments from customers.
齐塔·舍勒肯斯表示，如果可持续航空燃料的价格与传统航空煤油相同，该航空公司愿意大幅增加其使用量。
Zita Schellekens said that if SAF were available at the same price as conventional kerosene, the airline would be willing to use significantly more of it.
齐塔·舍勒肯斯表示，印度航空业快速增长，因此随着航空运输量增长，确保人均排放量下降十分重要。
Zita Schellekens said India’s rapid aviation growth makes it important to ensure that emissions per passenger decline as traffic expands.
法国航空—荷兰皇家航空制定了一个基于科学的目标，重点是降低每名旅客的相对二氧化碳排放量。
Air France-KLM has a science-based target focused on reducing relative CO₂ emissions per passenger.
该集团还在通过其“航空挑战”航班测试减少排放的运行措施，并将从这些行动中获得的经验推广至整个行业。
The group is also testing operational measures to reduce emissions through its “Aviation Challenge” flight, with learnings from these initiatives shared across the industry.
齐塔·舍勒肯斯表示，鉴于全球航空煤油市场波动，可持续航空燃料正变得愈发重要，不仅是为了 decarbonisation（脱碳），也是出于战略层面的考虑。
Zita Schellekens said SAF is becoming important not only for decarbonisation but also from a strategic perspective, given the volatility in the global kerosene market.
她表示，从“战略”和“主权”航空燃料的角度来看，可持续航空燃料正变得愈发重要；各国都有动力加快国产可持续航空燃料的生产。
She described SAF as increasingly important from a “strategic” and “sovereign” aviation fuel perspective, arguing that countries have an incentive to accelerate domestic production.
谈及不同的可持续航空燃料技术路线，齐塔·舍勒肯斯表示，法国航空—荷兰皇家航空重点关注符合其可持续性标准的燃料，包括避免使用棕榈油、避免与粮食生产争夺资源，并满足相关认证要求。
On the different SAF pathways, Zita Schellekens said Air France-KLM’s focus is on fuels that meet its sustainability criteria, including avoiding palm oil and competition with food production, along with meeting relevant certification requirements.
该航空公司还从全生命周期角度评估可持续航空燃料。齐塔·舍勒肯斯表示，与煤油相比，该集团目前采购的可持续航空燃料在全生命周期内平均可减少约90%的二氧化碳排放量，而最低门槛为65%。她表示，HEFA是目前产量最大的可持续航空燃料技术路线。
The airline also assesses SAF on a full life-cycle basis. Zita Schellekens said the SAF currently purchased by the group delivers, on average, around 90% lower CO₂ emissions than kerosene over its life cycle, against a minimum threshold of 65%. HEFA is currently the most widely produced SAF pathway, she said.
与此同时，法国航空—荷兰皇家航空看好利用氢气、二氧化碳和可再生能源制取的电子可持续航空燃料（e-SAF）的前景。然而，齐塔·舍勒肯斯表示，对于这些新兴技术路线而言，可负担性仍是更大的挑战。
At the same time, Air France-KLM sees potential in e-SAF, which can use hydrogen, CO₂ and renewable energy. However, Zita Schellekens said affordability remains a bigger challenge for these newer pathways.
她补充称，只要不同的可持续航空燃料技术路线满足可持续性要求、不与粮食生产争夺资源并且避免使用棕榈油，该集团愿予以采用。
She added that the group is open to different SAF pathways as long as they meet sustainability requirements, do not compete with food production and avoid the use of palm oil.
对印度而言，这一机会并不仅限于满足国内可持续航空燃料（SAF） mandate，法国航空—荷兰皇家航空公司也看到了在印度开展生产、国际合作以及签订长期包销协议的潜力。
For India, the opportunity therefore extends beyond meeting a domestic SAF mandate, with Air France-KLM seeing potential for Indian production, international partnerships and long-term offtake agreements.
