Umvukuzi wase-Australia, i-Liontown Resources, useshintshe ukushintsha kwesinye seziteshi ezinkulu zamandla ayingxube avela kugridi avuselelekayo e-Australia.
I-Liontown Resources, ethuthukisa imayini yase-Kathleen Valley eduze kwase-Leinster enyakatho ye-Goldfields eNtshonalanga ye-Australia, ithe isifinyelele “eqophelweni elimangalisayo” ngokusebenza kwesiteshi sikagesi esiyingxube ye-95 MW esizohlinzeka ngogesi esizeni sekuzophela.
I-Liontown yasePerth ithe ipulazi lelanga, uhlelo lokugcina amandla ebhethri kanye neziphehla zomoya ezintathu zokuqala manje seziqalisiwe futhi sezihlangene zinika amandla indawo yokuhlala kanye nemboni yokucubungula ngamandla avuselelekayo.
IMenenja-Jikelele ye-Liontown uKirit Chauhan uthe lolu hlelo lungelinye igxathu elikhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwephrojekthi yase-Kathleen Valley.
“Ngemuva kweminyaka engaphezu kwemibili yokuhlela futhi manje ukuthuthukiswa nokusebenza, sesiqedile ukwakhiwa kwesiteshi sethu sikagesi esiyingxubevange futhi kusekude ekuhlolweni kwethu nasekuqaliseni ukusebenza,” usho kanje.
Isiteshi sikagesi sase-Kathleen Valley sihlanganisa amandla elanga angu-16 MW, ama-MW angama-30 omoya alethwa kuma-turbines amahlanu angu-6MW, kanye nohlelo lokugcina amandla ebhethri angu-17 MW/19 MWh. Lokhu kusekelwa ngama-27 MW okukhiqiza igesi kanye no-5 MW wokuphehla udizili.
Uma sesiqediwe, isiteshi sikagesi umthuthukisi i-Zenith Energy ezosebenza ngaphansi kwaso ngesisekelo “sokwakha, ukuba nomnikazi futhi sisebenze” phakathi neminyaka eyi-15, sizohlinzeka ubuncane bamandla avuselelekayo angama-60% emsebenzini wokumba.
Izingxenye ezishisayo zenzelwe ukusebenza kumodi "yokucima injini" ngezinye izikhathi, okwenza i-Kathleen Valley isebenze kusukela ku-100% wamandla avuselelekayo ngezikhathi zomoya ophezulu kanye nensiza yelanga.
U-Chauhan uthe lesi siteshi sikagesi esiyingxube sesivele sinika amandla enkanjini kanye nendawo yokulungisa izinto futhi maduze sizosebenzisa imayini engaphansi komhlaba okulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukukhiqiza ezinyangeni ezizayo.
"Inhloso yethu kwasekuqaleni bekuwukusebenzisa i-carbon footprint ephansi kakhulu," kusho inkampani. "Siyaziqhenya ngokunikeza amandla iphrojekthi yethu esezingeni lomhlaba ngamandla avuselelekayo ngaphambi kokukhiqizwa kokuqala."
Iphrojekthi ye-lithium yase-Kathleen Valley isilungele ukuba ngumdlali obalulekile emakethe ye-lithium yomhlaba wonke, efaka isandla ochungechungeni lokuhlinzekwa kwezimoto zikagesi (EVs) kanye nezixazululo zokugcina amandla ebhethri.
Kucatshangwa ukuthi imboni yezimoto izobalelwa ku-87% yazo zonke izidingo zebhethri ze-lithium ion emhlabeni wonke ngo-2033. Ngaphandle kokusetshenziswa kwe-EV, eminye imithombo yesidingo sebhethri ye-lithium nayo kulindeleke ukuthi ibe nokukhula okuqinile njengoba kwamukelwa izinhlelo zokufaka ugesi kanye nokugcinwa kwamandla ukuze kusheshiswe ukuguqulwa kwamandla ahlanzekile kuyaqhubeka.
Iphrojekthi ye-Kathleen Valley kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukukhiqiza amathani angaba ngu-500,000 we-spodumene concentrate - i-mineral ebalulekile esetshenziselwa ukukhiqizwa kwamabhethri e-lithium-ion - ngonyaka, kodwa i-Liontown inethemba lokukhulisa ukukhiqizwa ku-700,000 amathani ngo-2029.
