I-Qatar Airways yethula ngokusemthethweni uhlelo lwayo lwe-carbon offset

Qatar Airways namuhla umemezele ukwethulwa ngokusemthethweni kohlelo lwayo lwe-carbon offset. Abagibeli bezindiza manje sebenethuba lokuqeda ngokuzithandela ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni okuhambisana nohambo lwabo lapho bebhukha khona.

Uhlelo lweQatar Airways 'carbon offset lwakhiwe ngokubambisana ne-International Air Transport Association's (IATA) Carbon Offset Program, enikeza amakhasimende ayo isiqinisekiso sokuthi amakhredithi athengiwe ukuvala lokhu kukhishwa avela kumaphrojekthi aletha ukuncishiswa kwekhabhoni okuqinisekiswe ngokuzimela kanye nokubanzi izinzuzo zemvelo nezenhlalo.

Njengenkampani yezindiza ebhekele imvelo, izindiza zethu zesimanje zezindiza ezisezingeni eliphezulu kwezobuchwepheshe, kanye nohlelo lwethu lokusebenzisa kahle uphethiloli, ziyahlangana ukwenza ngcono ukusebenza kwezindiza futhi kunciphise nomthelela endizeni wokundiza. Amakhasimende ethu manje angasiza ekunciphiseni ukwehla kwezemvelo ngokukhetha ukufaka isandla ohlelweni lwethu lwe-carbon offset. ”

UMqondisi Jikelele we-IATA kanye noMphathi Omkhulu, uMnuz Alexandre de Juniac, uthe: “Kuyasijabulisa ukwamukela iQatar Airways kuhlelo lwe-IATA Carbon Offset. Ukuzibophezela kwabo kugcizelela ukuzimisela komkhakha wethu ukunciphisa umthelela wethu emvelweni ngenkathi kuvumela amakhasimende eQatar Airways ithuba lokunciphisa umthelela wezemvelo ohambweni lwabo. Ayikho enye indlela yokundiza uma kukhulunywa ngokuhamba amabanga amade futhi ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni kuyindlela esheshayo, eqondile nengenakuphikiswa yokunciphisa umthelela wokuguquka kwesimo sezulu. ”

Amakhasimende angakhetha ukungena kuhlelo lwe-carbon offset lweQatar Airways uma ethenga amathikithi ngewebhusayithi yeQatar Airways nohlelo lokusebenza lweselula. Imininingwane yokubhuka, kufaka phakathi imininingwane ephathelene nohlelo lwe-carbon offset, itholakala ngezilimi eziningi kubandakanya i-Arabhu, isiShayina (esijwayelekile), isiShayina (sendabuko), isiCroatia, isiCzech, isiNgisi, isiFarsi, isiFulentshi, isiJalimane, isiGreki, isiHungary, isi-Indonesia, isiNtaliyane, isiJapane , IsiKorea, isiPolish, isiPutukezi, isiRomania, isiRashiya, isiSerbia, iSpanishi, isiThai, isiTurkey, isi-Ukraine kanye nesiVietnam.

Ukukhishwa kwemishini kuzolungiswa ngochwepheshe besimo sezulu kanye nentuthuko esimeme ClimateCare, ngomsebenzi weFatanpur Wind Farm eNdiya. Le phrojekthi ifake ama-generator ephehla ugesi (ama-WTG) ngokukhipha okuhlanganisiwe kuka-108 MW ukukhiqiza kanye nokuhlinzeka ngogesi ohlanzekile kwiGridi Kazwelonke YaseNdiya. Le phrojekthi iqukethe ama-turbine omoya angama-54, afakwe nasemadolobhaneni aseTaluk Dewas, eTonkkhurd naseTarana Taluk ezifundeni zaseDewas naseJijjain eMadhya Pradesh. Ama-turbine asusa ugesi ophuma emithonjeni kaphethiloli evela kugridi yaseNdiya, anciphisa ubukhulu bekhabhoni jikelele futhi aholele ekwehlisweni komoya. Le phrojekthi igwema amathani angama-210,000 wokukhishwa kwamagesi abamba ukushisa ngonyaka.

Uhlelo lwe-IATA's Carbon Offset luvunyiwe yinhlangano ezimele yocwaningomabhuku iQuality Assurance Standard, okuyizinga eliphakeme kakhulu lokususa ikhabhoni elihlola ukuthi izinhlangano zibala kanjani ukukhishwa, zikhethe kanjani amaphrojekthi we-offset nokuthi ziludlulisela kanjani lolu lwazi kumakhasimende abo.

Ngenxa yomthelela we-COVID-19 ekufunweni kokuhamba, inkampani yezindiza isithathe isinqumo sokubeka phansi izindiza zayo ze-Airbus A380s njengoba kungavunyelwe ukuhweba noma imvelo ukuqhuba indiza enkulu kangaka emakethe yamanje. Imikhumbi yezindiza yezindiza ezingama-52 i-Airbus A350 neyi-30 iBoeing 787 iyindlela ekahle yemizila ebaluleke kakhulu yokuhamba ibanga elide eya e-Afrika, eMelika, eYurophu nase-Asia-Pacific.
