Ngomhlaka-3 Meyi, iBayer AG, iqembu elidumile emhlabeni wonke lamakhemikhali nemithi, kanye neCat Creek Energy (CCE), umkhiqizi wamandla avuselelekayo, bamemezele ukusayinwa kwesivumelwano sokuthenga amandla avuselelekayo sesikhathi eside. Ngokwesivumelwano, i-CCE ihlela ukwakha izindawo ezahlukene zokugcina amandla avuselelekayo kanye namandla e-Idaho, e-USA, ezizokhiqiza ugesi ohlanzekile ongu-1.4TWh ngonyaka ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo zikagesi ezivuselelekayo zeBayer.
Isikhulu esiphezulu seBayer uWerner Baumann uthe isivumelwano ne-CCE singesinye sezivumelwano ezinkulu kakhulu zamandla avuselelekayo e-US futhi sizoqinisekisa ukuthi amaphesenti angu-40 eBayer'emhlabeni wonke kanye namaphesenti angama-60 eBayer'Izidingo zikagesi zase-US zivela emithonjeni evuselelekayo ngenkathi kuhlangatshezwana neBayer Renewable Power'Izinga Lekhwalithi.
Le phrojekthi izofinyelela ku-1.4TWh kagesi wamandla avuselelekayo, okulingana nokusetshenziswa kwamandla kwemindeni engu-150,000, futhi inciphise ukukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide ngamathani angu-370,000 ngonyaka, okulingana cishe nokukhishwa kwezimoto eziphakathi nendawo ezingu-270,000, noma inani le-carbon dioxide elingamuncwa yisihlahla minyaka yonke.
Nciphisa ukufudumala komhlaba kube yi-1.5 degrees Celsius ngo-2050, ngokuhambisana ne-United Nations Sustainable Development Goals kanye ne-Paris Agreement. Umgomo we-Bayer ukunciphisa njalo ukukhishwa kwegesi ebanga ukushisa ngaphakathi kwenkampani nakuwo wonke uchungechunge lwezimboni, ngenhloso yokufeza ukungathathi hlangothi kwe-carbon emisebenzini yayo ngo-2030. Isu elibalulekile lokufeza imigomo ye-Bayer yokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ukuthenga ugesi ovuselelekayo ongu-100% ngo-2030.
Kuyaqondakala ukuthi isitshalo saseBayer e-Idaho yisona sitshalo esisebenzisa ugesi kakhulu kuneBayer e-United States. Ngokwalesi sivumelwano sokubambisana, amaqembu amabili azosebenzisana ukwakha ipulatifomu yamandla engu-1760MW esebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obuhlukahlukene bamandla. Ikakhulukazi, iBayer iphakamise ukuthi ukugcina amandla kuyisici esibalulekile sobuchwepheshe sokushintshela ngempumelelo emandleni ahlanzekile. I-CCE izosebenzisa isitoreji esipompiwe ukusekela ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bayo bokugcina amandla besikhathi eside obunamandla amakhulu. Isivumelwano sihlela ukufaka uhlelo lokugcina amandla lwebhethri le-scalar elingu-160MW ukusekela nokuthuthukisa ubuqotho nokuthembeka kwegridi yokudlulisa yesifunda.
Isikhathi sokuthunyelwe: Juni-30-2023
