Iprojekthi yokuqala yehlabathi ye-ethanol yepetroli esebenzisa igesi yokukhupha umoya yezimboni i-ferroalloy yaqaliswa ngokusesikweni ngomhla wama-28 ePingluo County, eShizuishan City, eNingxia. Kulindeleke ukuba le projekthi ivelise iitoni ezingama-45,000 ze-ethanol yepetroli kunye neetoni ezingama-5,000 ze-protein powder ngonyaka, ifikelele kwixabiso lemveliso eliyi-330 yezigidi zeeyuan, kwaye inciphise ukukhutshwa kwe-carbon dioxide ngeetoni ezili-180,000 ngonyaka.

Itekhnoloji yokuvundisa igesi yokukhupha umoya kwimizi-mveliso ukuvelisa i-ethanol yinkqubo entsha ye-biotechnology, enokuphumeza ukusetyenziswa kakuhle nangokucocekileyo kwezixhobo zegesi yokukhupha umoya kwimizi-mveliso. Le teknoloji ibaluleke kakhulu ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni, ukuthatha indawo yamandla efosili, ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwamandla esizwe kunye nokutya, kunye nokwakha inkqubo yoqoqosho olujikelezileyo oluluhlaza nolunekhabhoni ephantsi.

Kuyaqondakala ukuba ukusetyenziswa kobu buchwepheshe kunokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni dioksayidi ngetoni eziyi-1.9 ngetoni nganye ye-ethanol eveliswayo, kwaye ukongezwa kwe-ethanol ephehlwayo kwipetroli kunokunciphisa ngempumelelo ungcoliseko lomoya ophuma kwiimoto. Kwangaxeshanye, obu buchwepheshe busebenzisa izinto ezingengomgubo, kwaye itoni nganye ye-ethanol ephehlwayo eveliswayo inokonga iitoni ezi-3 zengqolowa kwaye inciphise ukusetyenziswa komhlaba olimekayo ngeehektare ezi-4, nto leyo enceda ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lokutya.

“Le projekthi (le) inentsingiselo ebalaseleyo ekukhuthazeni imboni ye-ferroalloy ukutshintsha indlela yokusetyenziswa kwamandla yendabuko, ukuphucula ukusetyenziswa ngokupheleleyo kwezixhobo, kunye nokulungelelanisa ngokufanelekileyo ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa komoya kunye nophuhliso.” ULi Xinchuang, uSekela Mongameli we-China Iron and Steel Association kunye noNobhala weKomiti yeQela le-Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute Kumsitho wokugunyaziswa kweprojekthi owawubanjwe ngaloo mini inye, kwathiwa ukugunyaziswa kweprojekthi yokusebenzisa igesi yomsila yemizi-mveliso ye-ferroalloy ukuvelisa i-ethanol yepetroli yayilinyathelo elikhulu ekuphuhlisweni kotshintsho lwe-carbon ephantsi kwimboni ye-ferroalloy.
