ICarbon ukukhutshwa ukusuka kwiinqwelomoya zorhwebo zinokuncitshiswa malunga ne-16 % ngokusetyenziswa ngcono kwendlela eya ngakumoya
Iinqwelomoya zorhwebo zisebenzisa amafutha amaninzi ukwenza amandla awoneleyo okugcina inqwelomoya. Ukutshiswa kwamafutha eenqwelomoya kunegalelo Igesi yendlu eluhlaza kumoya osingqongileyo onoxanduva loku ubushushu bukazwe lonke kwaye imo iyatshintsha. Okwangoku, ikhabhoni Ukukhutshwa kweenqwelo-moya kumalunga ne-2.4% yayo yonke imithombo ye-CO2 eyenziwe ngumntu. Eli nani kulindeleke ukuba likhule ngokukhula kwicandelo lezophapho. Yiyo loo nto iyimfuneko yokuphonononga iindlela ezintsha zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwiinqwelomoya kunye nokuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle. Iindlela ezininzi ziye zacingwa zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwiinqwelomoya. Enye enjalo kukusebenzisa ithuba lokwalathisa umoya ngakumbi kwiinqwelomoya ezihamba ixesha elide.
Uluvo lokusebenzisa isikhokelo somoya kwinqwelomoya ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamafutha asiyonto intsha kodwa yayinemida. Ukuqhubela phambili kwi isithuba kunye nenzululwazi ye-atmospheric ngoku yenze ukuba i-coverage epheleleyo yesathelayithi kunye neseti yedatha ye-atmospheric yehlabathi. Iqela lophando leYunivesithi yokuFunda lifumanise ukuba iinqwelomoya ezinqumla iAtlantiki phakathi kweLondon neNew York zingonga ukuya kutsho kwi-16% yamafutha ngokusebenzisa ngcono indlela eya ngakumoya. Iqela lihlalutye malunga ne-35000 yeenqwelomoya eziwela i-atlantic phakathi kwe-1 kaDisemba 2019 kunye ne-29 kaFebruwari 2020 kwaye lasebenzisa ithiyori yolawulo olufanelekileyo ukufumana iindlela ezincinci zexesha. Iziphumo zibonise umsantsa wamakhulu eekhilomitha phakathi kweendlela zenqwelomoya zokwenyani kunye neendlela ezilungiselelwe amafutha. Olu hlaziyo lunokunceda ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwixesha elifutshane ngaphandle kokubandakanya nayiphi na imali entsha yenkunzi yenkqubela phambili yobuchwepheshe.
