I-Airbus, i-Boeing, i-Embraer isebenzisana ekuthuthukisweni kwe-biofuel yezindiza

I-Airbus, i-Boeing kanye ne-Embraer namuhla basayine Isivumelwano Sokusebenzisana (i-MoU) ukuze basebenzisane ekuthuthukisweni kwama-biofuels endiza angabizi kakhulu. Abakhiqizi abathathu abahamba phambili bezinhlaka zezindiza bavumile ukufuna amathuba okusebenzisana ukuze bakhulume ngobunye nohulumeni, abakhiqizi be-biofuel kanye nabanye ababambiqhaza ababalulekile ukuze basekele, bakhuthaze futhi basheshise ukutholakala kwemithombo emisha yamafutha endiza esimeme.

UMongameli we-Airbus kanye ne-CEO u-Tom Enders, uMongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-Boeing Commercial Airplanes uJim Albaugh, kanye noMongameli we-Embraer Commercial Aviation u-Paulo César Silva, basayine lesi sivumelwano eNgqungqutheleni Yezokuhamba Ngezindiza Nezemvelo Yeqembu (ATAG) e-Geneva.

“Sizuze lukhulu kule minyaka eyishumi edlule ekwehliseni izinga le-CO2 embonini yethu – ukukhula kwezimoto ngamaphesenti angama-45 nokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli ngamaphesenti amathathu kuphela,” kusho uTom Enders. Ukukhiqizwa nokusetshenziswa kwenani eliqhubekayo lama-biofuels ezindiza kuyisihluthulelo sokuhlangabezana nezinjongo zemboni yethu zokunciphisa i-CO2 futhi sisiza ukwenza lokhu nge-R+T, inethiwekhi yethu ekhulayo yamaketanga amanani emhlabeni wonke kanye nokweseka ikhomishana ye-EU ekuhlosweni kwayo kokune isenti le-biofuel yendiza ngo-2020."

“Ukuqamba izinto ezintsha, ubuchwepheshe kanye nokuncintisana kuphusha imikhiqizo yethu emazingeni aphezulu okusebenza,” kusho uJim Albaugh. "Ngombono wethu ofanayo wokunciphisa imithelela yezemvelo yezindiza, kanye nemizamo yethu ehlangene yokuthuthukisa izibaseli ezisimeme, singasheshisa ukutholakala kwazo futhi senze okulungile ngeplanethi esihlanganyela nayo."

"Sonke sizibophezele ekubambeni iqhaza ekuthuthukisweni kwezinhlelo zobuchwepheshe ezizokwenza lula ukuthuthukiswa kwe-biofuels zezindiza kanye nokusetshenziswa kwangempela ngokushesha kunokuba sikwenza ngokuzimela," kusho u-Paulo César Silva, uMongameli we-Embraer, i-Commercial Aviation. "Bambalwa abantu abazi ukuthi uhlelo lwaseBrazil lwe-biofuels lwezimoto olwaziwayo lwaqala emphakathini wethu ocwaninga ngezindiza, emuva ngeminyaka yama-XNUMX, futhi sizoqhubeka nokuqopha umlando."

Isivumelwano sokusebenzisana sisekela indlela yemboni exubile yokunciphisa ngokuqhubekayo ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni kule mboni. Ukuqamba okusha okuqhubekayo, okugqugquzelwa amandla emakethe ancintisanayo acindezela umenzi ngamunye ukuthi aqhubeke ethuthukisa ukusebenza komkhiqizo, kanye nokwenza ngcono ukuhamba kwezindiza emoyeni, ngezinye zezinto ezibalulekile ekuzuzeni ukukhula okungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni ngalé kuka-2020 kanye nokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwezimboni ngo-2050 ngokusekelwe kumazinga ka-2005.

"Ukuba nalaba baholi abathathu bezindiza babeke eceleni umehluko wabo wokuncintisana futhi basebenzisane ekusekeleni ukuthuthukiswa kwe-biofuel, kugcizelela ukubaluleka nokugxila imboni emikhubeni eqhubekayo," kusho uMqondisi Omkhulu wakwa-ATAG uPaul Steele. "Ngalezi zinhlobo zezivumelwano zokusebenzisana ezibanzi zezimboni, izindiza zenza konke okusemandleni ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni, kuyilapho ziqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngenani eliqinile lezomnotho nezenhlalo emhlabeni jikelele."

Zontathu izinkampani zingamalungu e-Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group (www.safug.org), ehlanganisa izinkampani zezindiza ezihamba phambili ezingu-23 ezibhekele cishe amaphesenti angama-25 okusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli wendiza ngonyaka.

Amaketango amanani ahlanganisa abalimi, abacwengi, izinkampani zezindiza kanye nabenzi bomthetho ukuze kusheshiswe ukuthengiswa kwama-biofuels esimeme. Kuze kube manje amaketango entengo e-Airbus asesunguliwe eBrazil, Qatar, Romania, Spain nase-Australia futhi okuhlosiwe ukuthi kube nelilodwa kuwo wonke amazwekazi. Indiza inezinye izindlela ezilinganiselwe esikhundleni se-biofuel, ngakho-ke i-Airbus ikholelwa ukuthi izinhlobo zamandla kufanele zibekwe eqhulwini ngokuya ngokusetshenziswa kwezokuthutha.”

I-EADS Innovation Works ihola iqembu le-EADS ucwaningo lwe-biofuel. I-MoU ihlanganisa ukuthuthukiswa kwamazinga avulekile embonini kanye nezindlela zokuhlola imijikelezo yempilo yamandla kanye nekhabhoni.

I-Airbus, i-Boeing kanye ne-Embraer zisebenza emhlabeni wonke ekusizeni ukusungula amaketanga okuhlinzeka ngezifunda, kanti abakhiqizi abathathu bonke baye basekela izindiza eziningi ze-biofuel kusukela izinhlangano ezilinganisa amazinga kaphethiloli emhlabeni wonke zanikeza imvume yazo ukuze zisetshenziswe ngokuhweba ngo-2011.
