Muva nje, ukususwa kwekhabhoni kuye kwaba umkhuba oqinile futhi ongenakuguqulwa kumabhizinisi asebenza kwezentengiselwano zakwamanye amazwe, obonwa njengesu lokunciphisa imiphumela yokufudumala komhlaba kanye nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu okubangelwa yilokhu. Njengoba i-Asia Shipping, inkampani enkulu kunazo zonke ehlanganisa izinto eLatin America, isanda kuthola i-Carbon Free Seal, isitifiketi esinikezwa izinkampani, imicimbi, noma amaphrojekthi abonisa ukuzibophezela ekuqedeni ukukhishwa kwegesi yeGreenhouse Gas (GHG).
Ngokusho kuka-Alexandro Ferreira, uMphathi Wokuthobela Imithetho e-Asia Shipping, inkampani izoqala ngokunciphisa amathani angu-750 e-carbon dioxide (TCO2) ahlobene nemisebenzi yayo ngo-2025. Uchaza ukuthi isinyathelo sokuqala ukukala ukukhishwa kwegesi ukuze kutholakale izindlela zokunciphisa nokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwayo.
"Ngalolu hlelo, sizoba nohlu lwazo zonke izinhlobo zokukhishwa kwegesi, okuhlanganisa nalezo ezimele inani elikhulu kunawo wonke, kanye nenani elizoncishiswa, kanye nemigomo yokunciphisa kanye namasu. Sesivele sikhethe ukuthi lokhu kunciphisa kuzokwenziwa ngezikweletu zekhabhoni, eziqinisekiswe yi-UN, ezivela kuphrojekthi yamandla avuselelekayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengembuyiselo yemali emvelweni, ngethani ngalinye lekhabhoni elisusiwe, sizoba nenani elibuyiselwe ekutshalweni kwezihlahla zomdabu, okubalwa cishe izibonelo ezingu-125," kusho umphathi.
Iphrojekthi yeJirau
Ukuze kuncishiswe ukukhishwa kwayo kwekhabhoni, i-Asia Shipping ikhethe ukuqondisa amakhredithi ayo kuphrojekthi yeJirau Hydroelectric Power Plant (UHE), okuyinkampani yesine ngobukhulu ekhiqiza ugesi eBrazil, etholakala eMfuleni iMadeira, engamakhilomitha angu-120 ukusuka enhloko-dolobha iPorto Velho (RO).
Inhloso eyinhloko yalolu hlelo ukukhiqiza ugesi kusetshenziswa umthombo ovuselelekayo, okuthatha indawo yengxenye ye-thermal energy matrix ekhona ku-National Interconnected System (SIN) yokudlulisa amandla nge-hydroelectric matrix. Lesi sitshalo sinikeza amandla
Lo mthombo wamandla avuselelekayo unikeza amandla kubantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-40 futhi wathuthukiswa ngendlela yobunjiniyela ethuthukisiwe ebeka phambili imvelo, ngokugeleza okuqhubekayo okunomthelela omncane kwezemvelo, kusetshenziswa ama-turbine akhethekile ukuze kwandiswe ukusebenza kahle. Lokhu kugwema ukuphambukisa umfula futhi kugcina indawo egcwele amanzi incane.
Isiko lokusimama
Ukususa i-carbonization kuyingxenye ebalulekile yohlelo lwe-Asia Shipping lwango-2025. “Siyingxenye yesimiso semvelo esinegalelo elikhulu emjahweni ongenawo ugesi ukuze kuncishiswe imiphumela yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Ngokuhola ngesibonelo nokuletha inani kubabambiqhaza bethu, sizofaka isandla efeni elihlala isikhathi eside lezizukulwane ezizayo,” kusho u-Alexandre Pimenta, i-CEO ye-Asia Shipping.
Ukuze kuqondiswe imigomo yokuzinza nokukhuthaza isiko lokuqwashisa ngezenhlalo, ezemvelo, kanye nobuqotho, i-Asia Shipping isanda kwethula isigaba esisha kuwebhusayithi yayo esizinikele ngokuphelele ezindabeni ze-ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). Lesi sici esisha siqinisa kakhulu inqubomgomo yokucaca kwenkampani, esivele ifake ithebhu yokuthobela imithetho esizeni sayo.
