Namhlanje i-KLM kunye neMicrosoft batyikitye ileta yeNjongo eWashington ukuphonononga intsebenziswano egxile kuhambo oluzinzileyo lomoya. Isivumelwano siquka ukuzibophelela ekuthengeni iSibasi soQeqesho oluZinzileyo (SAF), nesinokuthi sinciphise ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-80 zokukhutshwa kwe-CO2 xa kuthelekiswa ne-fossil fuel, kuwo wonke umjikelo wobomi, xa usetyenziswa kwizinga elikhulu. Ukwakha kwiNkqubo ye-BioFuel ye-KLM, u-Microsoft uza kuthenga isixa se-SAF esilingana nazo zonke iinqwelo-moya ezithathwe ngabasebenzi baka-Microsoft phakathi kwe-USA ne-Netherlands (nangakwelinye icala) kwi-KLM ne-Delta Air Lines.
“Ngoku iMicrosoft neKLM bayadibana, sinefestile yokwenyani yokukhawulezisa uphuhliso lohambo oluzinzileyo lomoya. Ukuqala ngo-2009, i-KLM iye yavuselela uphuhliso lwentengiso yezibaso ezizinzileyo. I-KLM ikholelwa ekubeni imveliso yexesha eliphakathi kunye nexesha elide yeoyile yeenqwelo-moya ezinzileyo ibaluleke kakhulu kumzi-mveliso wenqwelo moya ukufezekisa iinjongo zayo zokunciphisa icarbon dioxide. Sikunye namaqabane afana neMicrosoft singenza ukuba le nyaniso ikhawuleze kangaka. ” I-Boet Kreiken, i-EVP yamava abaThengi
Ukongeza, iMicrosoft kunye ne-KLM bazimisele ukuphonononga iindawo zentsebenziswano ezinokuphucula uzinzo kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa okunxulumene nokuhamba ngenqwelomoya. Injongo yethu ngokudibeneyo kukubonelela ngeplani eyakuthi ibandakanye amanye amaqumrhu ukukhuthaza ibango lezisombululo zohambo lomoya ezizinzileyo kunye nokufezekisa amabhongo okusombulula umkhondo wekhabhoni ngaphakathi kwenkqubo yabo yokubonelela.
“Utshintsho oluncinci lunokuba nefuthe elikhulu xa kuziwa kutshintsho lwemozulu, ngakumbi xa olo tshintsho lwenziwa ngamaqumrhu amakhulu ehlabathi. Ukusukela ngo-2012, ukuhamba kwabasebenzi beMicrosoft bekungathathi hlangothi. Sikwathathe amanyathelo okukhuthaza ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zokusebenza ngentsebenziswano, njengamaQela, ukunciphisa imfuno yokuhamba. Namhlanje imele utshintsho lwenyathelo, apho sihamba ngaphaya kwempembelelo yabasebenzi bethu, sisiya sisebenzisa impembelelo yethu ukuqhuba iishifti zeshishini ngokubanzi ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kokuhamba ngenqwelomoya. U-Eric Bailey, uMlawuli woHambo lweHlabathi weMicrosoft
Bhabha uxanduva
Ubambiswano lwe-KLM kunye neMicrosoft zihambelana ngokugqibeleleyo ne-KLM's Fly uxanduva. Ukubhabha ngononophelo kubonisa ukuzibophelela kwe-KLM ekudaleni ikamva elizinzileyo ngakumbi kushishino lweenqwelo moya. Ibandakanya yonke into eyenziwa yi-KLM ngoku nakwixesha elizayo ukuphucula ukuzinza kwemisebenzi yayo. Nangona kunjalo, kuxa kuphela icandelo lonke lisebenza kunye apho sinokuthi senze inkqubela yokwenyani. Njengenxalenye yomkhankaso weFly Respons uxanduva, i-KLM imema abathengi bayo ukuba basebenzise inkqubo yokuhlawulwa kwekhabhoni kwaye icele iinkampani ukuba zibuyekeze uhambo lwabo lweshishini ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwiNkqubo ye-KLM Corporate BioFuel.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- The agreement includes commitment to purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which has the potential to reduce up to 80 percent of CO2 emissions compared to fossil fuel, across the lifecycle, when used on a large scale.
- As part of the Fly Responsibly campaign, KLM invites its customers to use its carbon compensation program and asks companies to compensate for their business travel by taking part in the KLM Corporate BioFuel Program.
- Building on KLM's Corporate BioFuel Program, Microsoft will purchase an amount of SAF equivalent to all flights taken by Microsoft employees between the USA and Netherlands (and vice versa) on KLM and Delta Air Lines.
