据安迅思能源8月20日消息称，雪佛龙和其他合作伙伴表示，他们正在投资一家初创公司，在加州北部建造模块化的废物转化为绿色的氢和可再生合成燃料设施，初步计划最终在全球范围内发展。
Raven SR总部位于美国怀俄明州，投资了2000万美元，专注于开发不燃烧的绿色运输氢技术，这种氢比从天然气中提取的蓝色氢更清洁。
与垃圾处理的其他方法(如焚烧或气化)不同，Raven表示一种不需要任何燃烧的蒸汽和二氧化碳重整过程，据称可以减少排放，并比其他竞争过程产生更多的绿色氢。
他们的目标还包括利用这项技术生产更多的合成液体燃料，包括柴油和航空燃料，以及其他添加剂和溶剂，如石脑油，甚至通过微型涡轮机发电。Raven 说，航空燃料生产的进一步脱碳是帮助应对气候变化的一个关键目标。
其他项目合作伙伴包括总部位于纽约的Hyzon Motors、日本伊藤忠商事株式会社和Ascent氢基金。Hyzon和Raven计划在全球建立最多250个氢生产设施。Hyzon主要生产氢燃料电池驱动的商用车。
但雪佛龙和合作伙伴的第一个设施将在旧金山地区。

Chevron invests in waste-to-hydrogen and renewable synthetic fuel startup in northen California
Chevron and other partners said they are investing in a startup to build modular waste-to-green hydrogen and renewable synthetic fuel facilities in northern California with tentative plans to eventually grow worldwide.
The USD20 million investment in Wyoming-based Raven SR is focused align="justify"> Unlike alternative approaches to waste disposal, such as incineration or gasification, Raven touts a steam and carbon dioxide reformation process that does not involve any combustion, purportedly reducing emissions and producing more green hydrogen per ton of waste than competing processes.
The goal also is to utilize the technology to produce more synthetic liquid fuels, including diesel and jet fuel, as well as other additives and solvents, such as naphtha, and even some electricity via microturbines. Further decarbonizing the production of jet fuel is a key goal, Raven said, to help combat climate change.
Other project partners include New York-based Hyzon Motors, Japan's Itochu Corp. and the Ascent Hydrogen Fund. Hyzon, which focuses align="justify"> But the first facilities with Chevron and the partners will be in the San Francisco area.
