Sinopec News Network inanena pa June 28 kuti pambuyo poti Nduna ya Zamalonda ya ku Britain, Kwasi Kwarteng, atapita ku Oslo, kampani ya mafuta ndi gasi yaku Norway, yotchedwa Equinor, inanena Lachiwiri kuti yakweza cholinga chake chopanga hydrogen ku UK kufika pa 1.8 GW (GW).

Equinor yati ikukonzekera kuwonjezera 1.2 GW ya mphamvu yopangira hydrogen yochepa ya kaboni, makamaka kuti ipereke hydrogen ya Keadby. Iyi ndi malo oyamba padziko lonse lapansi opanga magetsi a hydrogen 100% omwe adapangidwa pamodzi ndi Equinor ndi kampani yamagetsi yaku Britain ya SSE.

Linawonjezera kuti, poyembekezera thandizo la boma la Britain, fakitaleyi ikhoza kuyamba kugwira ntchito isanathe zaka khumi.

Mkulu wa bungwe la Equinor, Anders Opedal, anati pulojekiti ya kampaniyo ithandiza UK kukwaniritsa zolinga zake zokhudzana ndi kusintha kwa nyengo. Iye adapezeka pamsonkhanowo ndi Kwarteng ndi Nduna ya Mafuta ndi Mphamvu ya ku Norway, Tina Bru.

Opedal adati m'mawu ake: "Mapulojekiti athu ochepetsa mpweya ku UK amamangidwa pa zomwe takumana nazo m'mafakitale ndipo adzakhala ndi gawo lofunika kwambiri paudindo waukulu pakati pa makampani aku UK."

Cholinga cha UK ndikupeza mpweya wopanda mpweya wa carbon pofika chaka cha 2050 komanso mphamvu yopangira hydrogen yoyera ya 5 GW pofika chaka cha 2030, ndipo ikupereka thandizo la ndalama pa mapulojekiti ena ochotsa mpweya wa carbon.

Equinor yakonza zomanga fakitale ya 0.6 GW kumpoto chakum'mawa kwa England kuti ipange hydrogen yotchedwa "buluu" kuchokera ku mpweya wachilengedwe pamene ikugwira ntchito yokhudzana ndi mpweya wa carbon dioxide (CO2).

Kampaniyo ikugwiranso ntchito pa ntchito yokonza njira zoyendetsera ndi kusungiramo zinthu zoyeretsera mpweya wa carbon dioxide m'derali.

Kupanga kwa haidrojeni kuchokera m'madzi pogwiritsa ntchito magetsi obwezerezedwanso kapena kuphatikiza kaboni ndi kusungira (CCS) kuti apange haidrojeni kuchokera ku gasi lachilengedwe kumaonedwa kuti ndikofunikira kwambiri pakuchotsa mpweya m'mafakitale monga zitsulo ndi mankhwala.

Masiku ano, hydrogen yambiri imapangidwa kuchokera ku mpweya wachilengedwe, ndipo carbon dioxide yokhudzana nayo imatulutsidwa mumlengalenga.
