ISenegal ithembele kwizixhobo ezintlanu zokuvelisa ipetroli yayo yeenqwelo-moya ezinzileyo

Kungekudala iSenegal ingasebenzisa izixhobo zayo zezolimo kunye ne-biomass ukuphuhlisa icandelo lesizwe le-aviation fuel (SAF). Uphononongo lokwenzeka kwezinto luchonge izinto ezintlanu eziluhlaza ezinamandla amakhulu: umoba, i-cashew apple, i-neem, i-cattail, kunye ne-jatropha.

Iziphumo zolu phononongo ziboniswe ngoMvulo kwiworkshop ehlelwe eDakar yi-National Agency for Civil Aviation and Meteorology (ANACIM). Ngokutsho koMlawuli Jikelele wayo, uDiaga Basse, ilizwe ngoku lineendlela ezininzi ezithembisayo ekufuneka ziphuhliswe zibe ziiprojekthi zoshishino ezisebenzayo.
“Ukwenzeka kwezinto kusenza sikwazi ukumisela ukuba yintoni enokwenzeka,” ucacisile, wongeza ngelithi umceli mngeni ophambili ngoku kukuchonga iimeko ezisivumela ukuba sitshintshe amathuba afunyenweyo siye ekusebenziseni kwawo ngempumelelo.

Phakathi kwezixhobo ezifundweyo, ummoba ubonakala ungomnye weendlela ezithembisayo. I-Senegalese Sugar Company (CSS) kuthiwa sele ibonakalise umdla kule ngxaki.

Olu phononongo, olwaqaliswa ngoSeptemba 2025 ngenkxaso ye-European Union kunye ne-International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), lukwahlalutye ubuchwepheshe obahlukeneyo obuqwalaselwayo kunye neemeko zoqoqosho, zemali, zesikhungo kunye nezomthetho ezifunekayo ekusekweni kweli candelo.
Nangona kunjalo, kukho imiqobo emininzi ekufuneka yoyiswe. ISenegal kuya kufuneka iqinisekise ukuba ifumana izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo, iququzelele utyalo-mali olufunekayo, iphuhlise iziseko zophuhliso ezifanelekileyo, kwaye ifumane iindlela zokuxhasa ngemali ukuze iiprojekthi ziphumelele ngokwezoqoqosho.

Kwi-ANACIM, imveliso ye-SAF ayinakukhawulelwa kwicandelo leenqwelo-moya kuphela. Iya kufuna ukuhlanganiswa kweendawo ezahlukeneyo, kuquka ezolimo, amandla, ezothutho, amashishini, okusingqongileyo, uphando kunye nezezimali.
Uphononongo olutsha olujolise ekuphunyezweni korhwebo ngoku kufuneka luncede ekucaciseni iimodeli zoqoqosho, utyalo-mali olufunekayo kunye neendlela zokuxhasa ngemali.

Ngaphandle kokunciphisa ukukhutshwa komoya okunxulumene nokuthuthwa ngomoya, iSenegal ibona kwi-SAFs ithuba lokuphuhlisa imisebenzi emitsha kwindawo edibanisa ezolimo, amashishini, amandla kunye noqoqosho.
