I-lithium, i-cobalt, i-nickel kunye ne-manganese ziphakathi kwezinto eziphambili ezenza iibhetri zeemoto zombane. Nangona kunjalo, kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ngenxa yoxinzelelo olukhulu lokuphuhlisa nokuzisa ukuthengisa iimoto ezininzi zombane, kukho umngcipheko wokwenene wokuba akukho zixhobo zokwenza iibhetri ezininzi.
Umba omnye esikhe sawugubungela ngaphambili - asinawo amandla afakelweyo kwiplanethi ukukhupha izixa eziyimfuneko zemathiriyeli ekrwada yexabiso elilindelekileyo lezithuthi zombane, kwaye kungathatha iminyaka emininzi ngaphambi kokuba sibe nayo.
NgokweBhanki yeHlabathi, imfuno yezinye zezinto esizisebenzisayo ukwenza iibhetri zinokukhula ngokuphindwe kayi-11 ngo-2050, ngokuphazamiseka kwe-nickel, i-cobalt kunye nobhedu oluxelwe kwangaphambili kwango-2025.
Ukunciphisa okanye ukucinezela imfuno yemathiriyeli ekrwada, kukho enye indlela. I-DeepGreen Metals, inkampani yemigodi yase-Canadian engaphantsi kolwandle, icebisa njengenye indlela yokwemba umhlaba ukuphononongwa kolwandle, ngokuchanekileyo, uLwandlekazi lwePasifiki. Kutheni kuLwandlekazi lwePasifiki? Ngenxa yokuba kukho, ubuncinci kwindawo esele imisiwe, ukuba kugxininise kakhulu Amaqhuqhuva epolymetal.
Amaqhuqhuva… yintoni?
Ekwabizwa ngokuba ngamaqhuqhuva e-manganese, amaqhuqhuva e-polymetallic ziidiphozithi ze-ferromanganese oxides kunye nezinye iintsimbi, ezifana nezo zifunekayo ukuveliswa kweebhetri. Ubungakanani babo buhluka phakathi kwe-1 cm kunye ne-10 cm - abajonganga ngaphezu kwamatye amancinci - kwaye kuqikelelwa ukuba kukho ukugcinwa kweetoni ezibhiliyoni ezingama-500 kumgangatho wolwandle.
Kuyenzeka ukuzifumana kuzo zonke iilwandle - iidiphozithi ezininzi sele zaziwa kulo lonke iplanethi - kwaye ziye zafunyanwa kumachibi. Ngokungafaniyo nokutsalwa kwe-ore esekwe emhlabeni, ii-polymetallic nodules zibekwe kumgangatho wolwandle, ngaloo ndlela zingadingi naluphi na uhlobo lomsebenzi wokomba. Kuyabonakala ukuba, ekuphela kwento efunekayo kukuziqokelela.
Ziziphi iingenelo?
Ngokungafaniyo nokumbiwa komhlaba, ukuqokelelwa kwamaqhuqhuva e-polymetallic kunenzuzo yayo ephambili impembelelo yayo ephantsi kakhulu yokusingqongileyo. Oko ngokophando oluzimeleyo olugunyaziswe yi-DeepGreen Metals, ethelekisa impembelelo yokusingqongileyo phakathi kwemigodi yomhlaba kunye nokuqokelela amaqhuqhuva epolymetallic ukwenza iibhiliyoni zeebhetri zezithuthi zombane.
Bhalisa kwincwadana yethu
Iziphumo ziyathembisa. Uphononongo lubalwe ukuba ukukhutshwa kwe-CO2 kuncitshiswe nge-70% (i-0.4 Gt iyonke endaweni ye-1.5 Gt isebenzisa iindlela zangoku), i-94% ngaphantsi kunye ne-92% ngaphantsi komhlaba kunye nommandla wamahlathi ofunekayo, ngokulandelanayo; kwaye ekugqibeleni, akukho nkunkuma eqinileyo kolu hlobo lomsebenzi.
Uphononongo lukwachaza ukuba impembelelo kwifauna ingaphantsi ngama-93% xa ithelekiswa nokwembiwa komhlaba. Nangona kunjalo, i-DeepGreen Metals ngokwayo ithi nangona inani lezilwanyana lilinganiselwe ngakumbi kwindawo yokuqokelela kumgangatho wolwandle, inyaniso kukuba akukho nto ingako eyaziwayo malunga neentlobo zeentlobo ezinokuhlala apho, ngoko akunjalo. uyazi ukuba yintoni eyona mpembelelo kule ecosystem. Yinjongo ye-DeepGreen Metals ukwenza uphando olunzulu, iminyaka eliqela, kwiziphumo zexesha elide kumgangatho wolwandle.
UGerard Barron, i-CEO kunye noMongameli we-DeepGreen Metals"Ukukhutshwa kweentsimbi ezinyulu kunoma yimuphi umthombo, ngokuchazwa, akunakugcinwa kwaye kubangela umonakalo wokusingqongileyo. Sikholelwa ukuba i-polymetallic nodules ziyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yesisombululo. Iqulethe i-concentrations ephezulu ye-nickel, i-cobalt kunye ne-manganese; ibhetri ngempumelelo isithuthi sombane phezu kwelitye."
Ngokutsho kophononongo, i-polymetallic nodules yenziwe malunga ne-100% yezinto ezinokusetyenziswa kwaye ayinayo ityhefu, ngelixa iiminerali ezikhutshwe emhlabeni zinezinga eliphantsi lokubuyisela kwaye ziqulethe izinto ezinobuthi.
Ngaba isisombululo silapha ukufumana imathiriyeli ekrwada ukwenza iibhetri ezininzi njengoko siya kuzifuna? I-DeepGreen Metals icinga njalo.
