Kusukela ekuqaleni konyaka, u-Annette Mann uye wahola uphiko olusanda kusungulwa lwe-Corporate Responsibility ku-Lufthansa Group. Kulo msebenzi, unomthwalo wemfanelo wokuthuthukisa, ukuphatha kanye nokuqaliswa kohlelo oluphelele kanye nokusimama kweQembu lonke. Lokhu kubandakanya, ikakhulukazi, izinyathelo zokundiza okungathathi hlangothi, ukuthuthukiswa kwalo lonke uchungechunge lokuvakasha ngaphansi kwesici sokusimama, ukubika kweQembu lonke ngezihloko ezingezona ezezimali, nokuzibophezela komphakathi. U-Annette Mann ubika ngokuqondile ku-Christina Foerster, Ikhasimende Eliyilungu Lebhodi Eliphezulu, I-IT & Nesibopho Senkampani eQenjini laseLufthansa.
“Ukundiza nokuvikeleka kwesimo sezulu akufanele kuphikisane. Izisekelo zobuchwepheshe zokundiza okungathathi hlangothi kwesimo sezulu sezisunguliwe futhi manje sekuyindaba yokubumba indlela enzima ebheke ekusetshenzisweni. Sizohlanganisa ukusimama emnyombweni wemodeli yethu yebhizinisi futhi siqhubeke sithuthukisa imikhiqizo emisha namasevisi kumakhasimende ethu azokwenza ukusebenza kwendiza kanye nalo lonke uchungechunge lwezokuvakasha luzinze kakhudlwana. Sesiyibonisile kakade indima yethu yokuphayona ekusebenziseni ubuchwepheshe obuvumelana nesimo sezulu nezisombululo izikhathi eziningana. Silandela le ndlela ngokungaguquki futhi sizozibekela imigomo emikhulu kulo msebenzi,” kusho u-Annette Mann.
Endimeni yakhe entsha, u-Annette Mann uvumile ukuthi iLufthansa Group ibambe iqhaza kuphrojekthi yokuqala yokukhiqiza lokho okubizwa “nge-hydrogen eluhlaza” e-United Arab Emirates e-Abu Dhabi. Abamele ababambisene nabo abathintekayo kulo msebenzi basayine isivumelwano sokusebenzisana, esihlanganisa uMnyango Wezamandla wase-Abu Dhabi, i-Siemens Energy Global, i-Masdar ne-Marubeni Corporation, i-Khalifa University, i-Ethihad Airways kanye ne-Lufthansa Group.
Okubizwa ngokuthi i-hydrogen eluhlaza kutholakala ngokuhlukanisa amanzi emandleni avuselelekayo anjengomoya noma amandla elanga, okuyindlela evumelana nemvelo yokukhiqiza i-hydrogen. Esikhathini esizayo, uphethiloli oqhubekayo, phakathi kwezinye izinto, nawo ungatholakala ngokusekelwe kule ndlela. “Sijabule ngokubamba iqhaza kulo msebenzi futhi sikwazi ukuthuthukisa ngokuhlanganyela ubuchwepheshe obuhambisana nesimo sezulu. Siphishekela ngokungaguquki isu lethu lokusimama. I-Abu Dhabi ingenye yezindawo ezithembisayo kakhulu ngendawo yokukhiqiza yesikhathi esizayo futhi i-hydrogen eluhlaza iyingxenye ebalulekile ekukhiqizeni lokho okubizwa ngokuthi uphalafini wamandla kuya kuketshezi (PtL). Lawa maphethiloli asekelwe kugesi kanye nesimeme abalulekile ekuguquleni ukusetshenziswa kwamandla embonini yezindiza,” kusho u-Annette Mann, osayine isivumelwano sokusebenzisana egameni leLufthansa Group.
I-Hydrojeni, phakathi kwezinye izinto, iwumthwalo obalulekile wamandla kaphalafini we-PtL, onendima esemqoka esu lokususa i-carbonization lendiza. Inani le-CO2 elikhishelwe emkhathini lizoba inani elifanayo elisetshenziswe ngesikhathi sokukhiqizwa kwe-PTL. Ubuchwepheshe be-PTL busesesigabeni sokuqala, futhi kunemiqondo ehlukahlukene yokukhiqiza ekhona njengamanje. Kuze kube manje, lo parafini osimeme awukakakhiqizi, kodwa izitshalo eziningana zokuhlola zisakhiwa.
Ukuzibophezela kwebhizinisi bekulokhu kuyindaba esemqoka yeLufthansa Group. IQembu lenza konke okusemandleni alo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izindiza ziya ngokuya zivumelana nesimo sezulu futhi ngaleyo ndlela zisondela kancane kancane embonweni we-CO2-neutral flight operations.
Kusukela ngo-Agasti 2019, Iqembu Lufthansa abagibeli bakwazile ukuvala uhambo lwabo lwendiza ngokusebenzisa uphethiloli wendiza esimeme ngokusebenzisa inkundla ye-“Compensaid” eyakhiwe yi-Lufthansa Innovation Hub. Muva nje, lokhu okunikezwayo sekuphinde kwaba yingxenye yohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Miles & More. Naphezu kwezikhathi ezinzima kakhulu njengamanje, iLufthansa Group isaqhubeka nokutshala imali ezindizeni ezonga uphethiloli. Lokhu okwamanje kuyisici esikhulu sokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni. Imikhumbi yamanje yeQembu isebenza kahle kakhulu ngokombono wezomnotho kanye nemvelo - izinhlobo zezindiza ezindala nezingasebenzi kahle sezikhishiwe ngaphambi kwesikhathi ebesibekiwe, ngonyaka odlule.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
