I-Air Canada imemezele indiza yayo yase-Edmonton-San Francisco namuhla izosebenza nge-biofuel endizeni enezihlalo ezingu-146 i-Airbus A320-200. Indiza enkudlwana ibihlelelwe uhambo lwanamuhla ukuze iphathe ithimba lezithunywa zezohwebo eliholwa nguHulumeni wase-Alberta, iDolobha lase-Edmonton kanye namabhizinisi endawo yase-Edmonton ukuya eCalifornia.
“I-Air Canada iyaziqhenya ngokusebenzisana namuhla ne-Edmonton International Airport (EIA) ukuze isebenzise indiza yanamuhla nge-biofuel. I-Air Canada iyaqhubeka nokusekela kanye nokumela ukuthuthukiswa kwe-biofuel e-Canada ukuze ikwazi ukuhweba; isinyathelo esikhulu sokudala izindiza ezisimeme eCanada nakwamanye amazwe. Lena indiza yethu yesishiyagalombili esebenza nge-biofuel kusukela ngo-2012. Umphumela wokusetshenziswa kwanamuhla kwe-biofuel kunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni yale ndiza ngamathani angaphezu kwe-10, okumelela ukwehla ngo-20% kokukhishwa kwe-net ye-carbon kule ndiza," kusho uTeresa Ehman, uMqondisi, Wezindaba Zemvelo. e-Air Canada.

Siphinde sazibophezela ekuhlangabezaneni nezinjongo ezihlosiwe ezibekwe yiNhlangano Yezokuthutha Ngezindiza Yamazwe Ngamazwe, okuhlanganisa nokukhula kwe-carbon-neutral kusukela ngo-2020 kanye nokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-CO2 ngamaphesenti angama-50 ngo-2050, uma kuqhathaniswa namazinga ka-2005. Le mizamo kanye nezinye izinhlelo eziluhlaza zokwandisa ukusebenza kahle nokunciphisa imfucuza yaqashelwa yi-Air Transport World ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka eqambe i-Air Canada ngokuthi I-Eco-Airline Yonyaka ka-2018.”

“Inqwaba yamabhizinisi nezinhlangano zase-Alberta zihlanganyela nathi endizeni yanamuhla yaseSan Francisco, ukusiza ukukhombisa amandla esifundazwe sethu phesheya nokudala amathuba emisebenzi namathuba amasha ekhaya,” kusho uMhlonishwa uDeron Bilous, uNgqongqoshe Wezokuthuthukiswa Komnotho Nohwebo e-Alberta. "Ukusebenzisa i-biofuel kuyisikhumbuzo esibalulekile sokuthi, ngokusebenzisana nozakwethu abafana ne-Air Canada ne-EIA, i-Alberta izoqhubeka nokuba ngumholi wamandla nezemvelo eNyakatho Melika edinga ikhulu lama-21."
“Lokhu kuzibophezela kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamandla ahlanzekile kukhombisa ubuholi bezinkampani okuyinto ebalulekile kithi sonke esisebenzisanayo ukubhekana nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu,” kusho iMeya yase-Edmonton uDon Iveson. “Ngiyethemba ukuthi kuzokhuthaza nezinye izinkampani ukuthi zenze okufanayo ukuze siqhubeke nokusheshisa ubuholi mayelana nokushintshwa kwamandla kanye nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.”
