Emva kwe-Aston Martin DB6 Steering Wheel yeNkosana uCharles, esebenzisa i-fuel (ethanol) eyenziwe ngewayini emhlophe, ngoku kuza iindaba zokuba i-distillery yaseScotland iGlenfiddich. inokuvelisa i-biogas kwinkunkuma evela kwidistillation yewhisky yayo.
Le biogas sele isebenza njengamafutha kwiilori ezintathu kwezingama-20 enazo kwinqanawa yayo, kunye nalo mlinganiselo uyinxalenye yenyathelo lozinzo leGlenfiddich ngokwayo, elithengisa malunga ne-14 lezigidi zeebhotile zewhisky ngonyaka.
Ukwenza oku, i-distillery isebenzise iteknoloji ephuhliswe nguWilliam Grant & Sons, inkampani ye-distillery, ekwazi ukuguqula iintsalela kunye nenkunkuma ibe yi-ultra-low carbon gaseous fuel evelisa ukukhutshwa okuncinci kwekharbon dioxide kunye nezinye iigesi eziyingozi.
Esona sithako siphambili kwimveliso ye-biogas kuchithwa ukutya okuziinkozo okushiyeke kwinkqubo yokunyibilikisa, neyaye yathengiswa ngaphambili yiGlenfiddich ukuze isebenze njengesondlo esineprotheyini eninzi kwimfuyo.
Ngoku, iinkozo zihamba kwinkqubo yokugaya i-anaerobic, apho i-microorganisms (iibhaktheriya) ilawula ukubola i-organic matter, ivelisa i-biogas. I-distillery iyakwazi ukusebenzisa inkunkuma engamanzi kwiinkqubo zayo ukuvelisa amafutha. Eyona njongo iphambili kukuba yonke inkunkuma yewhisky iphinde isetyenziswe ngale ndlela.
IGlenfiddich ifake izikhululo zokugalela amafutha kwiziko layo, eliseDufftown, kumntla-mpuma weSkotlani, apho iilori ezintathu sele zitshintshiwe ukuze zisebenzise le biogas. Ezi zii-IVECO Stralis, ebezifudula zisebenza ngegesi yendalo.
Ngale biogas entsha evela kwimveliso yewhisky, uGlenfiddich uthi ilori nganye iyakwazi ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kweCO2 ngaphezulu kwe-95% xa kuthelekiswa nabanye abasebenzisa idizili okanye amanye amafutha efosili. Kwakhona kunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwee-particle kunye nezinye iigesi ze-greenhouse ukuya kuma-99%.
Stuart Watts, umlawuli wedistilleries eWilliam Grant & Sons"Ilori nganye iya kukwazi ukukhupha iitoni ezingaphantsi kwe-250 ye-CO2 ngonyaka, enenzuzo efanayo yokusingqongileyo njengokutyala imithi ye-4000 ngonyaka - elilingana nokukhupha ukukhutshwa kwamakhaya angama-112 asebenzisa igesi yendalo, i-fossil fuel. "
Injongo kukwandisa ukusetyenziswa kwalamafutha kwiinqwelo ezahlukeneyo zokuhanjiswa kwezinye iibrand zewhisky zikaWilliam Grant & Sons, ngokunokwenzeka kokunyusa imveliso yegesi yebhayoloji ukunceda iilori zezinye iinkampani.
