I-Bosch, ngokubambisana nabakwaShell kanye neVolkswagen, isungule uhlobo olusha lukaphethiloli - olubizwa ngeBlue Gasoline - oluluhlaza kakhudlwana, olunezingxenye ezivuselelekayo ezingafika ku-33% futhi oluthembisa ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-CO2 cishe ngo-20% (kahle-to-wheel, noma ukusuka emthonjeni kuya esondweni) ngekhilomitha ngalinye elihanjwayo.
Ekuqaleni la mafutha azotholakala ezikhungweni zenkampani yaseJalimane kuphela, kodwa ekupheleni konyaka azofinyelela ezindaweni ezithile zomphakathi eJalimane.
Ngokusho kukaBosch, nokusebenzisa njengesisekelo sokubala uxhaxha lwezimoto eziyi-1000 Volkswagen Golf 1.5 TSI ezihamba amakhilomitha alinganiselwa ku-10 000 km ngonyaka, ukusetshenziswa kwalolu hlobo olusha lukaphethiloli kuvumela ukonga cishe amathani angama-230 e-CO2.
Phakathi kwezingxenye ezihlukahlukene ezakha la mafutha, i-naphtha ne-ethanol etholakala ku-biomass egunyazwe yi-ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) iyagqama. I-Naphtha ikakhulukazi ivela kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi "amafutha amade", okuwumkhiqizo ovela ekwelapheni i-pulp yezinkuni ekukhiqizeni iphepha. NgokukaBosch, i-naphtha isengatholakala kwezinye izinto ezilahlwayo kanye nokulahlwayo.
Ifanele… i-plug-in hybrids
Ngenxa yokuqina kwayo kwesitoreji esikhulu, lawa maphethiloli amasha afaneleka ngokukhethekile ezimotweni eziyingxubevange ezixhumene ne-plug-in, izinjini zazo ezivuthayo ezingahlala isikhathi eside zingasebenzi. Nokho, noma iyiphi injini evuthayo egunyazwe i-E10 ingafaka uphethiloli ngeBlue Gasoline.
Sebastian Willmann, obhekele ukuthuthukiswa kwezinjini ezivuthayo zangaphakathi kwaVolkswagenUkuzinza okukhulu kwesitoreji se-Blue Gasoline kwenza lawa mafutha afaneleke ikakhulukazi ukusetshenziswa ezimotweni ezihlanganisiwe eziyi-plug-in. Ngokuzayo, ukunwetshwa kwengqalasizinda eshajayo namabhethri amakhulu kuzokwenza lezi zimoto zisebenze kakhulu kugesi, ngakho uphethiloli uzokwazi ukuhlala ethangini isikhathi eside.
Kodwa naphezu kwakho konke lokhu, iBosch isivele yakwenza kwaziwa ukuthi ayifuni lolu hlobo olusha lukaphethiloli lubonakale njengento ebambele ukunwetshwa kwe-electromobility. Esikhundleni salokho, isebenza njengesengezo ezimotweni ezikhona kanye nezinjini ezivuthayo zangaphakathi ezisazoba khona iminyaka ezayo.
Noma kunjalo, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi kamuva nje umqondisi omkhulu we-Bosch, uVolkmar Denner, ugxeke ukubheja kwe-European Union kuphela ekuhambeni kukagesi kanye nokuntuleka kokutshala izimali ezindaweni ze-hydrogen namafutha avuselelekayo.
Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, lo “phethiloli oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka” uzofinyelela kwamanye amagalaji kaphethiloli eJalimane kulo nyaka futhi uzoba nenani eliphakeme kancane kune-E10 eyaziwayo (98 octane petrol).
