I-boom yemoto yombane iqhutywe emhlabeni jikelele, kwaye i-lithium iye yaba "ioli yexesha elitsha lamandla", itsala ama-giants amaninzi ukuba angene kwiimarike.
NgoMvulo, ngokweengxelo zeendaba, i-giant yamandla i-ExxonMobil okwangoku ilungiselela "ithemba lokunciphisa i-oyile kunye nokuxhomekeka kwegesi" njengoko izama ukucofa umthombo obalulekileyo ngaphandle kweoli: i-lithium.
I-ExxonMobil ithenge amalungelo kwi-120,000 yeehektare zomhlaba kwi-Smackover reservoir kumazantsi e-Arkansas ukusuka kwi-Galvanic Energy ubuncinane kwi-100 yezigidi zeedola, apho iceba ukuvelisa i-lithium.
Ingxelo yabonisa ukuba i-reservoir e-Arkansas ingaba neetoni ze-4 zezigidi ze-lithium carbonate elinganayo, eyaneleyo ukunika amandla i-50 yezigidi zezithuthi zombane, kwaye i-Exxon Mobil inokuqalisa ukugrumba kule ndawo kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezizayo.
'Uthango oluqhelekileyo' lokuhla kwemfuno yeoli
Ukutshintshela kwiimoto zombane kubangele ugqatso lokutshixa iimpahla ze-lithium kunye nezinye izinto ezisembindini wokwenziwa kwebhetri, ukutsala inkitha yee-giants, kunye ne-ExxonMobil ephambili.Imveliso yeLithium kulindeleke ukuba iguqule ipotifoliyo ye-ExxonMobil kwaye inike ukuvezwa kwimarike entsha ekhula ngokukhawuleza.
Ekutshintsheni kwioli ukuya kwi-lithium, i-ExxonMobil ithi inenzuzo yezobuchwepheshe.Ukutsalwa kwe-lithium kwi-brines kubandakanya ukomba, imibhobho kunye nokusetyenzwa kolwelo, kwaye iinkampani zeoyile kunye negesi kudala zaqokelela ubutyebi bobuchule kwezo nkqubo, zibenza bafaneleke ngokufanelekileyo kwinguqu yokuvelisa izimbiwa, i-lithium kunye nabaphathi beshishini leoli.
UPavel Molchanov, umhlalutyi kwibhanki yotyalo-mali uRaymond James, uthe:
Ithemba lokuba iimoto zombane ziya kuba zilawula kwiminyaka emashumi ezayo ibonelele iinkampani zeoli kunye negesi ngenkuthazo eqinile yokubandakanyeka kwishishini le-lithium.Olu “luthango oluqhelekileyo” ngokuchasene nembonakalo yemfuno esezantsi yeoli.
Ukongeza, i-Exxon Mobil iqikelele kunyaka ophelileyo ukuba imfuno yemoto yokukhanya yepetroli yeenjini zokutsha zangaphakathi inokunyuka ngo-2025, ngelixa izithuthi zombane, i-hybrid kunye ne-fuel-cell zinokukhula zifikelele kwipesenti ezingama-50 zentengiso yemoto entsha ngo-2050. .Inkampani iphinda iqikelele ukuba inani lehlabathi leemoto zombane linokunyuka ukusuka kwi-3 yezigidi kwi-2017 ukuya kwi-420 yezigidi nge-2040.
UTesla waphula umhlaba kwindawo yokucokisa i-lithium yaseTexas
Akunjalo kuphela i-Essenke Mobil, kodwa uTesla ukwakha i-lithium smelter eTexas, eU.SA.Kungekudala, uMusk wabamba umsitho wokucolwa kwe-lithium eTexas.
Kuyafaneleka ukukhankanya ukuba kumthendeleko, uMusk wagxininisa ngaphezu kweyodwa ukuba iteknoloji yokucoca i-lithium ayisebenzisayo yindlela yobugcisa eyahlukileyo yokucoca i-lithium yendabuko., ayisayi kuchaphazeleka nangayiphi na indlela.”
Yintoni ekhankanywe nguMusk yahluke kakhulu kwindlela eqhelekileyo yangoku.Ngokuphathelele eyakhe iteknoloji yokucoca i-lithium, uTurner, intloko yeTesla's ibhetri imathiriyeli ekrwada kunye nokurisayikilisha, yanika intshayelelo emfutshane kumsitho wokuqhawula umhlaba.Tesla'I-lithium yokucoca iteknoloji iya kunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamandla nge-20%, idle iikhemikhali ezingaphantsi kwe-60%, ngoko ke ixabiso lilonke liya kuba ngama-30% aphantsi, kunye neemveliso eziveliswa ngexesha lenkqubo yokucocwa nazo aziyi kuba yingozi.
