IJalimane, phakathi kokunye, ithembisa ukukhokhelwa okuphezulu kwesinxephezelo ukuze abaqhubi bezikhungo eziphehla ugesi ngamalahle basheshe bazicime izitshalo zabo. I-European Commission manje isiqalise uphenyo ukubona ukuthi lokhu kuyahambisana yini nemithetho yosizo lwe-EU. Umgomo wokuncintisana ubaluleke kakhulu lapha.
“Ukuhoxa kancane kancane ekukhiqizweni kukagesi okusetshenziswa lignite kunomthelela ekuguqukeni komnotho ongathathi hlangothi kusimo sezulu, ngokuhambisana nezinhloso ze-European Green Deal. Kulesi simo, kungumsebenzi wethu ukuvikela ukuncintisana ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi isinxephezelo esinikezwa abasebenza ngezitshalo zokuphuma ngaphambi kwesikhathi sigcinwa sisezingeni elifanele. Imininingwane etholakalayo kithi kuze kube manje ayisivumeli ukuthi sikuqinisekise lokhu ngokuqiniseka. Ngakho-ke siqala lolu hlelo lokubuyekeza, ”kusho iSekela likaMongameli oPhethe leKhomishini, uMargrethe Vestager, obhekele inqubomgomo yezokuncintisana.
Ngokuya nge-German Coal Phase-Out Act, ukukhiqizwa kwegezi evela emalahleni eGermany kuzokwehliswa kuze kube zero ekupheleni kuka-2038. IJalimane ithathe isinqumo sokuphothula izivumelwano nabasebenza ngokuyinhloko bezikhungo zamandla kagesi i-lignite, i-RWE ne-LEAG, ukukhuthaza ukuvalwa kwasekuqaleni kwezikhungo zamandla kagesi ze-lignite. Ngakho-ke imali yokuphuma kwamalahle.
IJalimane yazise iKhomishini ngezinhlelo zokuvumela laba opharetha ukuthi baqale uhlelo lwe- Isinxephezelo se-EUR 4,35 billion kuzonikezwa, okokuqala ngenzuzo elahlekile, ngoba opharetha abasakwazi ukuthengisa ugesi emakethe, futhi okwesibili ngezindleko ezengeziwe zokulandelela zezimayini ezivela ekuvalwa kwaphambilini. Engqikithini ye-EUR 4,35 billion, i-EUR 2,6 billion ibekelwe izinhlelo zeRWE eRhineland kanye ne-EUR 1,75 billion yezinhlelo zeLEAG eLusatia.
Kodwa-ke, iKhomishini yaseYurophu inakho ukungabaza - ukuthi ngabe leso silinganiso siyahambisana yini nemithetho yosizo yombuso we-EU. Amaphuzu amabili kufanele acaciswe ekuhlolweni kwe-EU:
- Mayelana nokunxeshezelwa kwenzuzo elahlekile: Abasebenza ophehla ugesi abasebenza ngeLignite bathola isinxephezelo sezinzuzo abangasakwazi ukuzenza ngenxa yokuvalwa kwezitshalo ngaphambi kwesikhathi. IKhomishini iyangabaza ukuthi isinxephezelo kubanikezeli bezinzuzo ezilahlekile ezedlulela kude kakhulu esikhathini esizayo singabhekwa njengobuncane obudingekayo. Ubuye azwakalise ukukhathazeka ngamanye wemingcele yokufaka yemodeli esetshenziswa yiJalimane ukubala inzuzo elahlekile, njengamanani kaphethiloli namanani we-CO2 asetshenzisiwe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, akukho lwazi olunikezwe iKhomishini ezingeni lokufakwa ngakunye.
- Mayelana nokunxeshezelwa kwezindleko ezengeziwe zokulandelwa kwezimayini: IKhomishini iyavuma ukuthi izindleko ezingezekile ezibangelwa ukuvalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi kwezitshalo ze-lignite nazo zingavuna isinxephezelo seRWE neLEAG, kodwa iyangabaza ngemininingwane enikeziwe, futhi ikakhulukazi leyo ye-LEAG isimo.
I-RWE imangalela iNetherlands ngezinxephezelo eziyizigidigidi
Abasebenza ephehla ugesi ngamalahle sebevele bacijisa imimese yabo - futhi bafuna isinxephezelo, muva nje iRWE ngendlela yokumangalelwa kweNetherlands. Imali yokuphuma kwamalahle. Lokho kuba yinto enkulu kulokhu Ukuba yi-Energy Charter Treaty (ECT): Ucwaningo olusha lwamazwe omhlaba olwenziwa yinethiwekhi yezintatheli Phenya iYurophu ikhombisa ubungozi obukhulu lokhu obubangela ukuvikelwa kwesimo sezulu kanye nokuguquka kwamandla okudingeka ngokushesha. E-EU, Great Britain naseSwitzerland kuphela, izinkampani zamandla ezimbiwa phansi zingafaka isicelo sokwehliswa kwenzuzo yengqalasizinda yazo ebiza ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-344,6, ngokusho kocwaningo.
Imali yokuphuma kwamalahle: ukumelana nama-NGO
Izinhlangano zomphakathi manje seziqale umkhankaso obanjelwe e-Europe wokuhoxa ku-ECT: "Gcina uguquko lwamandla - yeka umqulu wamandla." Isimemezelo esisayinwe ngaphansi kuKhomishini ye-EU, iPhalamende laseYurophu kanye nohulumeni be-EU ukuba bahoxe Esivumelwaneni Somthetho Wezamandla futhi bayeke ukunwetshwa kwamanye amazwe. Emahoreni angama-24 ngemuva kokuqala, abantu abangaphezu kwe-170.000 sebesayinile kakade isicelo.
UKUTHOLA ULWAZI:
Im Isivumelwano Se-Green Green Kwabonwa ukuthi ukuqedwa kabusha kohlelo lwamandla kubalulekile ukufeza izinhloso zesimo sezulu ngo-2030 nango-2050. Amaphesenti angama-75 wokukhishwa kwegesi ekhipha ukushisa i-EU kubangelwa ukukhiqizwa nokusetshenziswa kwamandla kuyo yonke imikhakha yezomnotho. Ngakho-ke, umkhakha wezamandla udinga ukwakhiwa ogxile kakhulu emithonjeni yamandla avuselelekayo; lokhu kufanele kuhambisane nokuqedwa ngokushesha kwamalahle kanye nokuhlukaniswa kwegesi.
