SITA OptiClimb®, isixhobo sokuhlalutya okumiselweyo kokukhanya kwedijithali ukwenzela ukusetyenziswa kwamafutha, kukhethwe yi-Singapore Airlines ukuxhasa injongo yomthwali wokufezekisa i-net-zero carbon emissions ngo-2050.
Ngokuthumela i-SITA OptiClimb®, inqwelo-moya iyakwazi ukwandisa ukusetyenziswa kwamafutha ngexesha lokunyuka kwenqwelomoya. Isisombululo esikhethekileyo sidibanisa iimodeli zokufunda ezihambelana nomsila wenqwelomoya kunye neengqikelelo zemozulu ze-4D ukucebisa isantya sokunyuka ngokwezifiso kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokuphakama. Isebenzisa idatha yembali yenqwelomoya ukuqikelela ukutsha kwamafutha kwiimeko ezahlukeneyo zenqwelomoya kwaye icebisa ukukhwela iiprofayili eziphuculweyo kujongano olusebenzisekayo lwabaqhubi beenqwelomoya.
Kuqikelelwa ukuba iinqwelomoya zinokufumana ukonga amafutha ukuya kuthi ga kwi-5% ngexesha lokunyuka kwinqwelomoya nganye, malunga ne-5.6 yezigidi zeetoni zokukhutshwa kwekharbon dioksidi kuthintelwe minyaka le ukuba yonke inqwelomoya kwihlabathi liphela isebenzisa i-SITA OptiClimb.®.
Ukulandela ixesha lovavanyo oluyimpumelelo kunye nokuqinisekiswa kwe-SITA OptiClimb® iziphumo, isixhobo sisetyenzisiwe kwiinqwelo zeenqwelo moya ze-Airbus A350 zase-Singapore ukususela ngo-Agasti 2022. I-SITA ibale ukuba isisombululo siya kunceda umqhubi wenqwelo-moya anciphise ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni ukuya kwi-15,000 yeetoni ngonyaka.
UCaptain Quay Chew Eng, uSekela Mongameli oPhezulu wokuSebenza kwe-Flight, i-Singapore Airlines, wathi: "I-Singapore Airlines isebenzisa i-levers ezininzi ukufezekisa iinjongo zethu zokuzinza, kubandakanywa nobuchwepheshe bamva nje bokuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle kwamafutha kwi-bid yokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni. SITA OptiClimb® isebenzisa uhlalutyo oluphambili ukuxhasa esi siphumo. Siza kuqhubeka nokukhangela izisombululo ezitsha zokunciphisa i-carbon footprint yethu kwaye sifezekise ukukhutshwa kwe-net-zero carbon ngo-2050. "
U-Yann Cabaret, iGosa eliLawulayo eliyiNtloko, i-SITA FOR AIRCRAFT, uthe: “Sinebhongo kakhulu ngokuba yinxalenye yohambo lwe-Singapore Airlines ekwenzeni uhambo lweenqwelo moya luzinze ngakumbi, ngokwendalo nangokwezimali. Ngezixhobo ezintsha, ezingabizi kakhulu, kunye nedatha eqhutywe njenge-SITA OptiClimb®, sinokunceda zonke iinkampani zeenqwelo-moya kunye nabasebenzi bazo ukuba benze izigqibo ezinolwazi ngakumbi eziqhuba ukusebenza kakuhle okufunekayo namhlanje.”
I-International Air Transport Association (IATA) ilindele ukuba umthamo owongezelekayo wokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni yenqwelomoya phakathi kuka-2021 no-2050 ube malunga ne-21.2 yeegigatons zekharbon diokside ukuba ishiywe ingathintelwa. Ishishini lezothutho lomoya liye lasebenza kuluhlu lwemilinganiselo yokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nokufikelela kwi-net-zero status ngo-2050.
La manyathelo aquka ukusetyenziswa kwamafutha eenqwelo-moya azinzileyo, ubugcisa obutsha beenqwelo-moya, nokuphuculwa kokusebenza neziseko ezingundoqo ukunceda ukwandisa ukusebenza kakuhle kwamafutha eenqwelo-moya nokunciphisa ukuthembela kumafutha efosili.
