NgoFebhuwari 1, 2021, iLufthansa izosuka ngendiza yabagibeli ende kunazo zonke emlandweni wenkampani yayo, imaka enye yezindiza eziyingqayizivele kunazo zonke ezake zenziwa yindiza.
Egameni le-Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) eBremerhaven, indiza yeLufthansa Group esimeme kakhulu, i-Airbus A350-900, izobe indiza amakhilomitha angu-13,700 15 engami ukusuka eHamburg kuya eMount Pleasant eziqhingini zaseFalkland. Isikhathi sendiza sibalwa cishe ngamahora we-00: XNUMX.
Kunabagibeli abangama-92 ababekiselwe lokhu Lufthansa indiza yomthetho i-LH2574, ingxenye yayo ingososayensi nenye ingxenye, okungabasebenzi bomkhumbi ohambweni oluzayo nomkhumbi wocwaningo wasePolarstern.
“Kuyasijabulisa ukukwazi ukuxhasa umkhankaso wokucwaninga ngezindawo ezibandayo ngalezi zikhathi ezinzima. Ukuzibophezela ocwaningweni lwesimo sezulu kubaluleke kakhulu kithina. Sisebenze kulo mkhakha iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-25 futhi sihlomise izindiza ezikhethiwe ngezinsimbi zokulinganisa. Kusukela lapho, ososayensi emhlabeni wonke bebelokhu besebenzisa imininingwane eqoqwe kulolu hambo ukwenza amamodeli wesimo sezulu anembe kakhudlwana futhi athuthukise izibikezelo zesimo sezulu, ”kusho uThomas Jahn, ukaputeni wemikhumbi kanye nomphathi wephrojekthi uFalkland.
Njengoba izidingo zenhlanzeko kule ndiza ziphezulu kakhulu, uCaptain Rolf Uzat kanye nabasebenza naye abangamalungu ayi-17 bangena ngokuhlukaniswa kwezinsuku eziyi-14 ngoMgqibelo odlule, okuyisikhathi esifanayo naleso abagibeli abangena ngaso. "Yize kunemikhawulo yabasebenzi kule ndiza, bayi-600 abasebenza ezindizeni abafake izicelo zalolu hambo," kusho uRolf Uzat.
Amalungiselelo ale ndiza ekhethekile makhulu kakhulu. Kubandakanya ukuqeqeshwa okwengeziwe kwabashayeli bezindiza ngamamephu akhethekile e-elektroniki endiza nokwehla komoya kanye nokuphatha uphalafini otholakala esikhungweni samasosha eMount Pleasant sendiza ebuyayo.
I-Airbus A350-900 okwamanje imi eMunich, lapho ilungiselelwa khona indiza. E-Hamburg, indiza ilayishwe ezinye izimpahla nemithwalo, ebisetshenziswe amagciwane kakhulu futhi izohlala ivaliwe kuze kube iyahamba. Ngaphandle kokuphakelwa, kunezinye iziqukathi zemfucuza eyinsalela esemkhunjini, ngoba lokhu kungalahlwa kuphela ngemuva kokuba indiza ibuyele eJalimane.
Abasebenzi baseLufthansa bahlanganisa ochwepheshe kanye nabasebenzi basemhlabeni bokuphathwa nokugcinwa esizeni abazohlukaniswa ngemuva kokufika eFalkland Islands ngenxa yezidingo zikahulumeni. Indiza ebuyayo i-LH2575, kulindeleke ukuthi isukele eMunich ngomhlaka-03 kuFebhuwari futhi izobe ithwele iqembu labasebenzi basePolarstern, elalisuke eBremerhaven ngoDisemba 20 ukuyophinda livuselele iNeumayer Station III e-Antarctica, futhi manje sekumele likhululeke.
“Besilungiselela ngokucophelela lo mkhankaso, ebesiwuhlelela iminyaka futhi manje sesikwazi ukuwuqala yize ubhadane lukhona. Sekungamashumi eminyaka, siqoqa imininingwane eyisisekelo ngemisinga yolwandle, iqhwa lasolwandle nomjikelezo wekhabhoni oLwandle oluseNingizimu. Njengoba lezi zilinganiso zesikhathi eside zakha isisekelo sokuqonda kwethu izinqubo ze-polar kanye nokubikezela kwesimo sezulu okudingeka ngokushesha, kubalulekile ukuthi ucwaningo e-Antarctica luqhubeke kulezi zikhathi ezinzima. Asikwazi ukuvumela izikhala ezinkulu zedatha ocwaningweni lwesimo sezulu. Umbiko Wezwe Lomhlaba osanda kushicilelwa osanda kushicilelwa uyaqhubeka nokubala ukwehluleka ukulwa nokuguquka kwesimo sezulu phakathi kwezinsongo ezinkulu esintwini, ”kusho uDkt. Hartmut Hellmer, isazi somhlaba wasolwandle e-AWI kanye nomholi wesayensi wohambo oluzayo lwasePolarstern.
“Sibonga nozakwethu kwezokusebenza kwe-AWI. Umqondo wabo ophelele wezokuthutha nokuhlanzeka usivumela ukuthi sihlole i-Antarctica nethimba lesayensi lamazwe omhlaba - ngesikhathi lapho eminye imikhankaso emikhulu lapho kwakufanele ikhanseliwe, ”kubika uHellmer.
Ukuze kwenziwe ucwaningo lube nesimo sezulu esifanele ngangokunokwenzeka, i-Alfred Wegener Institute izokhipha ukukhishwa kwe-CO2 ezindizeni zebhizinisi ngenhlangano engenzi nzuzo yokuvikela isimo sezulu i-atmosfair - nokuyinto eyenzeka kule ndiza. Lesi sikhungo sinikela ngemali yezitshalo ze-biogas eNepal ngayo yonke imayela eligelezayo, ngaleyo ndlela sinciphise inani elifanayo lokukhishwa kwe-CO2. Lokhu kusiza ukugcina ibhalansi ephelele ye-CO2 kungakhathalekile ukuthi ukukhishwa kwe-CO2 kungancishiswa kuphi emhlabeni. Ngaphezu kokukhishwa okumsulwa kwe-CO2, nezinye izinto ezingcolisayo ezinjenge-nitrogen oxides nezinhlayiya zomsizi nazo ziyabhekwa.
Amalungiselelo endiza ekhethekile aqala kanye ne-Alfred Wegener Institute ehlobo lika-2020. Umzila ojwayelekile odlula eKapa wawungeke ukwazi ukwenzeka ngenxa yesimo sokutheleleka eNingizimu Afrika, kwasala umzila kuphela odlula eziqhingini zaseFalkland. Ngemuva kokufika eziqhingini zaseFalkland, abasebenzi besayensi nabasebenzi bazoqhubeka nohambo lwabo lokuya e-Antarctica emkhunjini wocwaningo iPolarstern.
