Iifemu ezimbini zikukhathalele ukusetyenziswa kwe-hydrogen ukufudumeza intsimbi kwindawo eseSweden, intshukumo enokuthi ekugqibeleni incede ekwenzeni ukuba eli shishini lizinzile ngakumbi.
Kwangoko kule veki u-Ovako, ogxile ekwenzeni uhlobo oluthile lwentsimbi ekuthiwa yintsimbi yobunjineli, wathi usebenze kunye ne-Linde Gas kwiprojekthi e-Hofors rolling mill.
Kwilingo, i-hydrogen yayisetyenziswa njengamafutha ukwenza ubushushu endaweni yegesi ye-petroleum enyibilikiweyo. U-Ovako wayefuna ukuqaqambisa isibonelelo sendalo esingqongileyo sokusebenzisa i-hydrogen kwinkqubo yokutsha, eqaphela ukuba ekuphela kwento ekhutshwayo yayingumphunga wamanzi.
"Olu luphuhliso olukhulu kumzi mveliso wentsimbi," utshilo uGöran Nyström, usekela-mongameli olawulayo we-Ovako kwezentengiso zeqela kunye netekhnoloji.
"Kokokuqala ukuba i-hydrogen isetyenziselwe ukufudumeza isinyithi kwindawo esele ikhona yemveliso," wongeze watsho.
"Siyabulela kwityala, siyazi ukuba i-hydrogen inokusetyenziswa ngokulula nangokubhetyebhetye, ngaphandle kwempembelelo kumgangatho wentsimbi, okuthetha ukuba kunciphiso olukhulu kwikhabhoni."
Njengamacandelo amaninzi emizi-mveliso, ishishini lesinyithi linefuthe elibonakalayo kwindalo esingqongileyo. Ngokwe-World Steel Association, ngokomndilili, iitoni eziyi-1.85 zecarbon diokside ezikhutshiweyo kwitoni nganye yentsimbi eveliswe ngo-2018. ukufunwa kwamandla. ”
Amafutha kwikamva?
IKhomishini yaseYurophu ichaze ihydrogen njengamandla okuphatha "amandla acocekileyo, asebenzayo kwizithuthi ezimiyo, eziphathwayo nezothutho."
Ngelixa i-hydrogen ngokungathandabuzekiyo inokubakho, kukho imiceli mngeni xa kuziwa ekuyiveliseni.
Njengoko iSebe lezaMandla laseMelika liphawulile, i-hydrogen ayihlali “izivelela ngokwayo kwindalo” kwaye kufuneka iveliswe yimixube enayo.
Inani lemithombo-ukusuka kwii-fossil fuels kunye ne-solar, ukuya kwi-geothermal-inokuvelisa i-hydrogen. Ukuba kusetyenziswa imithombo enokuhlaziywa kwimveliso yayo, ibizwa ngokuba yi "green hydrogen."
Ngelixa indleko iseyinto exhalabisayo, kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo ibone ihydrogen isetyenziswa kwinani lezicwangciso zothutho ezinje ngoololiwe, iimoto neebhasi.
Kumzekelo wakutshanje weefemu ezinkulu zothutho ezithatha amanyathelo okutyhala itekhnoloji iye phambili, iVolvo Group kunye neDaimler Truck kutsha nje babhengeze izicwangciso zentsebenziswano ezijolise kubuchwephesha be-hydrogen-cell technology.
La mafemu mabini athi aseke indibaniselwano engama-50/50, ejonge “ekuphuhliseni, ekuveliseni nasekuthengiseni iinkqubo zeeseli zepetroli ukulungiselela ukusetyenziswa kwezithuthi ezinzima kunye nezinye iimeko zokusebenzisa.”
