Ukwanda kwezithuthi zombane kuye kwaqaliswa kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye i-lithium iye yaba "yioyile yexesha elitsha lamandla", itsala uninzi lweenkampani ezinkulu ukuba zingene kwimarike.
NgoMvulo, ngokweengxelo zeendaba, inkampani enkulu yamandla i-ExxonMobil okwangoku ilungiselela "ithuba lokuncipha kokuxhomekeka kwioyile negesi" njengoko izama ukusebenzisa enye imithombo ebalulekileyo ngaphandle kweoyile: i-lithium.
I-ExxonMobil ithengile amalungelo omhlaba ongamahektare ayi-120,000 kwidama laseSmackover kumzantsi weArkansas kwiGalvanic Energy ubuncinane nge-$100 yezigidi, apho iceba ukuvelisa i-lithium.
Ingxelo ibonise ukuba ichibi eliseArkansas lisenokuba neetoni ezi-4 zezigidi ze-lithium carbonate equivalent, ezaneleyo ukunika amandla izithuthi zombane ezizizigidi ezingama-50, kwaye i-Exxon Mobil isenokuqala ukugrumba kule ndawo kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezizayo.
'Udonga oluqhelekileyo' lokuwa kwemfuno yeoyile
Ukutshintshela kwizithuthi ezisebenzisa umbane kuye kwabangela ukuba kubekho ukhuphiswano lokuvala umbane we-lithium kunye nezinye izinto eziphambili ekuvelisweni kweebhetri, nto leyo etsala uninzi lweenkampani ezinkulu, i-ExxonMobil iphambili. Ukuveliswa kweLithium kulindeleke ukuba kudibanise ipotifoliyo ye-ExxonMobil kwaye kuyinike ithuba lokufumana imakethi entsha ekhula ngokukhawuleza.
Ekutshintsheni ukusuka kwioyile ukuya kwi-lithium, i-ExxonMobil ithi inenzuzo yetekhnoloji. Ukukhupha i-lithium kwiibrines kubandakanya ukugrumba, ukucutshungulwa kwemibhobho kunye nolwelo, kwaye iinkampani zeoyile negesi sele ziqokelele ulwazi oluninzi kwezo nkqubo, nto leyo eyenza ukuba zifaneleke kakhulu ukutshintshela ekuveliseni izimbiwa, i-lithium kunye nabaphathi beshishini leoyile.
UPavel Molchanov, umhlalutyi kwibhanki yotyalo-mali uRaymond James, uthe:
Ithemba lokuba izithuthi zombane ziya kuba namandla kwiminyaka emininzi ezayo linike iinkampani zeoyile negesi inkuthazo enamandla yokuzibandakanya kwishishini le-lithium. Olu “ludonga oluqhelekileyo” xa kuthelekiswa nombono wokuncipha kwemfuno yeoyile.
Ukongeza, i-Exxon Mobil yaxela kwangaphambili kunyaka ophelileyo ukuba imfuno yepetroli yeenjini zomlilo zangaphakathi ezikhaphukhaphu ingafikelela kwinqanaba eliphezulu ngo-2025, ngelixa izithuthi zombane, ezixutyiweyo kunye neeseli zepetroli zinokukhula zifikelele kuma-50 ekhulwini eentengiso zezithuthi ezintsha ngo-2050. % ngaphezulu. Le nkampani ikwaqikelela ukuba inani lezithuthi zombane kwihlabathi liphela linokunyuka ukusuka kwizigidi ezi-3 ngo-2017 ukuya kwizigidi ezingama-420 ngo-2040.
I-Tesla iqalise ukuthengisa i-lithium eTexas
Ayisiyo i-Essenke Mobil kuphela, kodwa neTesla ikwakha umnyibilikisi we-lithium eTexas, e-USA. Kungekudala, uMusk ubambe umsitho wokuvula indawo yokuhluza i-lithium eTexas.
Kufanelekile ukukhankanya ukuba kumsitho, uMusk ugxininise izihlandlo ezingaphezu kwesinye ukuba iteknoloji yokucocwa kwe-lithium ayisebenzisayo yindlela yobugcisa eyahlukileyo ekucocweni kwe-lithium yendabuko. , ayizukuchaphazeleka nangayiphi na indlela.
Oko uMusk akukhankanyileyo kwahlukile kakhulu kwindlela eqhelekileyo yangoku. Ngokuphathelele ubuchwepheshe bakhe bokucoca i-lithium, uTurner, intloko yeTesla'Izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo zebhetri kunye nokurisayikilisha, wanika intshayelelo emfutshane kumsitho wokuphuhlisa iteknoloji.'Itekhnoloji yokuCoca i-lithium iya kunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamandla ngama-20%, isebenzise iikhemikhali ezingaphantsi ngama-60%, ngoko ke iindleko zizonke ziya kuba ngaphantsi ngama-30%, kwaye iimveliso eziphumayo ngexesha lenkqubo yokucocwa nazo aziyi kuba yingozi.
