I-SINGAPORE – Ishishini lokuhamba ngeenqwelomoya likhupha malunga ne-600 yezigidi zeetoni zekhabhoni minyaka le, kwaye kunye neenqwelomoya ezininzi ezimiselwe ukuya esibhakabhakeni, kubekho intshukumo ekhokelela ekudaleni icandelo lekhabhoni elingathathi hlangothi.
La manyathelo aquka irhafu yokukhutshwa kweManyano yaseYurophu kwiinqwelo-moya, kulingo kunye novavanyo ngezinye izibaso.
Ishishini lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya lizibophelele ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni ngama-50 ekhulwini ngo-2050, xa kuthelekiswa no-2005.
Nangona kunjalo, kwiinyanga zamva nje, umba wokusingqongileyo kunye nokuhamba ngeenqwelomoya uye wanengxaki ethile ngerhafu ebekwe kwiinqwelomoya yiEuropean Union.
Umlawuli jikelele we-International Air Transport Association uTony Tyler uthe: “Ewe, imeko yokubandakanywa kweenqwelo moya kwi-EU ETS inzima kakhulu, kwaye iyantsonkotha kuba oorhulumente bakubona njengokunyhasha ulongamo lwabo ukuba babekwe irhafu eyongezelelweyo yomhlaba.
“Iinqwelomoya, ewe, nazo ziyayibona le nto njengengxaki kuba ingenisa izinto ezigqwethekileyo emarikeni.
Ithambeka ibala lokudlala kwaye le yinto iinqwelomoya ezifumanisa kunzima kakhulu ukuhlala nazo.
“Iinqwelomoya ngoku ziceba ukuzalisekisa izibophelelo zazo phantsi koqhanqalazo, kodwa kuya kufuneka zenze oko. Kodwa kwamanye amazwe afana neTshayina, sibona ukuba urhulumente waseTshayina upasise umthetho othintela iinqwelomoya zabo ukuba zithathe inxaxheba, ke iinqwelomoya zaseTshayina ziphambili ngoku.
"Kwaye ngenkalipho baya edabini kufuneka bathathe ulawulo kwaye kufuneka bathathe isigqibo - ngaba ndiyathobela umthetho waseTshayina okanye ndiyathobela umthetho waseYurophu?"
Kwaye ngelixa uninzi lwabadlali beshishini besithi umgangatho wehlabathi unokuba sesona sisombululo, bayavuma ukuba kuyakuthatha ixesha ukufumana onke amaqela abandakanyekayo ukuba avumelane nomgangatho.
Okwangoku, iinkampani zeenqwelomoya kunye nabavelisi beenqwelomoya bayaqonda ukuba kukho imfuneko yokuba iinqwelomoya zinganeli nje ukusebenza ngokufanelekileyo kodwa zibe nomthombo wamafutha angamanye.
I-Airbus yeMicimbi yoLuntu kunye noNxibelelwano lwe-SVP uRainer Ohler uthe: "Ndingathi i-30 yeepesenti yamafutha esiwadingayo kwi-aviation ngo-2030 ingaba yi-biofuel okanye enye i-fuel."
Ngokutsho kwe-IATA, phakathi kuka-2008 no-2011, iinqwelo-moya ezilithoba kunye nabavelisi abaninzi baye benza iimvavanyo zokubhabha ngemixube eyahlukahlukeneyo ukuya kuthi ga kwi-50 yepesenti yamafutha avuselelekayo.
I-IATA ithe olu vavanyo lubonise ukuba akukho lulungelelwaniso lwenqwelomoya olufunekayo ukuze lusebenzise uhlaziyo kwaye lunokudityaniswa namafutha akhoyo.
Embindini ka-2011, iinqwelomoya ezili-11 zenze iinqwelomoya zabakhweli zorhwebo kunye nemixube ukuya kuthi ga kwi-50 yeepesenti ehlaziyiweyo/i-bio fuel.
Iinqwelomoya ezenze ezi nqwelomoya yi-KLM, Lufthansa, Finnair, Interjet, Aeroméxico, Iberia, Thomson Airways, Air France, United, Air China kunye neAlaska Airlines.
