Isikhumulo sezindiza sase-Heathrow: Ishayela bonke abasunguli abaqhubekayo

IHeathrow namuhla yethule umklomelo ongabiza u-£30,000, ozonikezwa umbono owinile ozosiza isikhumulo sezindiza sinciphise ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni yaso njengoba sihlola izixazululo ezizobhekana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. I-“Innovation Prize” ye-Heathrow entsha iyingxenye “yeSikhungo Sokusebenza Kahle” sesikhumulo sezindiza, okuyindawo yokufunda nokuhlola ezosheshisa ukufika kohambo lwendiza olusimeme. I-Heathrow nayo namuhla isimemezele ukwethulwa kwethangi layo lokuqala lokucwaninga elakhiwe amanyuvesi aseBrithani.

Umklomelo omusha Wokusungula uvulekele labo abanemibono yezamabhizinisi yokuthi bangawunciphisa kanjani umthelela wekhabhoni ngokusebenzisa enye yezindlela ezintathu:

• Izinto zokuhamba ezihamba phambili ezizinzile: Ukuvumela ukuhamba nokubuya esikhumulweni sezindiza okunokukhishwa okuncane noma okuyiziro;
• Ukulungiselela indiza esimeme: Ukusheshisa ukufika kwendiza yamafutha ambiwa phansi, okuhlanganisa nokwethulwa kwendiza entsha eyingxubevange kanye nekagesi; futhi
• Ukuletha ukukhishwa okungalungile: Ukuthola izindlela ezintsha, ezingokoqobo zokuthwebula nokusebenzisa ikhabhoni esikhumulweni sezindiza noma eduze kwayo.

Izicelo zoMklomelo Wokusungula zizokwamukelwa kuze kube umhlaka-22 Meyi ku-inthanethi ngewebhusayithi ezinikele.

Lo mklomelo uxhaswe i-Heathrow's Centre of Excellence exhumanisa ochwepheshe - kusukela kosomabhizinisi kuya kwezifundiswa - futhi inikeza i-Heathrow ngokwayo njengendawo yokucwaninga ephilayo ukuze ihlole futhi izame imibono emisha yokukhuthaza ukusimama kwezokundiza. ISikhungo sesivele siphenya ukuthi angashintshwa kanjani amapulasitiki alahlwayo abe yizinto zomgwaqo esikhumulweni sezindiza.

UMat Gorman, uMqondisi we-Heathrow we-Sustainability, uthe: “Ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kuwusongo olukhulu olubhekene nesizukulwane sethu futhi kubalulekile ukuthi sithathe izinyathelo eziphusile zokubhekana nemithelela yethu - futhi kudingeka siyenze ngokushesha. NgeSikhungo Sobuhle, nangokubambisana nososayensi abaphezulu sizoqhubeka nokucabanga kakhulu ngokusimama, sihumushe imibono ibe yisenzo e-Heathrow, nakuwo wonke umkhakha wethu.”

I-Centre of Excellence izohlanganisa ithangi lokuqala le-Heathrow labalingani benyuvesi ukuze basebenzisane nesikhumulo sezindiza ocwaningweni olusha oludidiyelwe ngezinselele zezindiza ezisimeme. I-Brunel University yaseLondon, i-Cranfield University, iNyuvesi yase-Essex neRoyal Holloway, iNyuvesi yaseLondon izomenywa ukuba iveze imibono yabo yokuxhasa ngemali kusukela kuleli hlobo, ngaphambi kokuqala amaphrojekthi aphumelele kamuva kulo nyaka. I- think tank izohlola izihloko ezifana ne-carbon kanye ne-net zero air travel kanye nezinye izinselele zemvelo ezifana nomsindo, ikhwalithi yomoya kanye nemfucuza.

USolwazi Geoff Rodgers, iPhini Lomphathiswa Wezocwaningo eBrunel University London, inyuvesi yasendaweni yesikhumulo sezindiza, uthe: “Sibheka i-ajenda yokusimama ezungeze izikhumulo zezindiza kanye nezokundiza njengelinye lamathuba ahamba phambili ocwaningo lwase-UK nokusungula izinto ezintsha. I-Brunel University yaseLondon iyakuthokozela ukuzibandakanya nalolu hlelo. Kuzosivumela ukuthi sisebenze ngokubambisana ne-Heathrow kanye nabanye ozakwethu ukuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe obusha obudingekayo ekuthuthukisweni okusimeme nokukhula kwesikhumulo sezindiza.”
