I-Hydro kanye ne-Northvolt bamemezele ukwakhiwa kwebhizinisi elihlanganyelwe lokuvumela ukugaywa kabusha kwezinto zebhethri ne-aluminium ezimotweni zikagesi. Nge-Hydro Volt AS, izinkampani zihlela ukwakha imboni yokugaywa kabusha kwamabhethri, okuzoba ngeyokuqala ngqa eNorway.

I-Hydro Volt AS ihlela ukusungula indawo yokugaywa kabusha e-Fredrikstad, e-Norway, okulindelwe ukukhiqizwa kuqale ngo-2021. Ibhizinisi elihlanganyelwe le-50/50 lisungulwa phakathi kwenkampani ye-aluminium yomhlaba wonke ezinze eNorway i-Hydro kanye ne-Northvolt, umkhiqizi ohamba phambili wamabhethri waseYurophu ozinze eSweden.

"Sijabulile ngamathuba amele lokhu. IHydro Volt AS ingakwazi ukuphatha i-aluminium evela kumabhethri aphelelwe yisikhathi njengengxenye yochungechunge lwethu lwenani lensimbi, ibambe iqhaza emnothweni oyindilinga futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo inciphise isimo sezulu ngenxa yensimbi esiyinikezayo," kusho u-Arvid Moss, Iphini Likamongameli Wezamandla Nokuthuthukiswa Kwenkampani eHydro.

Isinqumo esisemthethweni sokutshala imali embonini yokuhlola yokugaywa kabusha silindelwe maduze, futhi utshalomali lulinganiselwa cishe ku-NOK 100 wezigidi ngesisekelo esingu-100%. Okukhiphayo okuvela embonini yokugaywa kabusha kwamabhethri ehleliwe e-Fredrikstad kuzohlanganisa lokho okubizwa ngokuthi i-black mass ne-aluminium, ezothuthelwa ezitshalweni ze-Northvolt kanye ne-Hydro, ngokulandelana. Eminye imikhiqizo evela ohlelweni lokugaywa kabusha izodayiswa kubathengi bensimbi ezilahliwe kanye nabanye abangayithathi.

Ukunika amandla izimayini zasemadolobheni

Indawo yokuhlola kabusha izosebenza ngokuzenzakalelayo futhi yakhelwe ukuchotshozwa nokuhlunga amabhethri. Izoba namandla okucubungula amathani angaphezu kuka-8,000 amabhethri ngonyaka, kanye nenketho yokukhulisa amandla ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Esigabeni sesibili, indawo yokugaywa kabusha kwebhethri ingaphatha ingxenye enkulu yevolumu yokuthengisa evela kumabhethri e-lithium-ion emotweni yezimoto zikagesi kulo lonke elaseScandinavia.

Iphakethe lebhethri le-EV (imoto kagesi) elijwayelekile lingase libe ne-aluminium engaphezu kuka-25%, enesamba esingaba ngu-70-100 kg we-aluminium paphakethe ngalinye. I-aluminium etholwe embonini entsha izothunyelwa emisebenzini ye-Hydro yokuvuselela kabusha, okuvumela ukukhiqizwa okwengeziwe kwemikhiqizo enekhabhoni ephansi ye-Hydro CIRCAL.

Ngokusungula lesi sikhungo e-Norway, i-Hydro Volt AS ingafinyelela futhi isingathe ukugaywa kabusha kwebhethri ngokuqondile emakethe ye-EV evuthiwe emhlabeni, kuyilapho yehlisa inani lamabhethri athunyelwa ngaphandle kwezwe. Inkampani yaseNorway i-Batteriretur, eseFredrikstad, izohlinzeka ngamabhethri endaweni yokugaywa kabusha futhi ihlelwe futhi njengomphathi wale mboni yokuhlola.

Ukulingana kwamasu

Ukwethulwa kwebhizinisi elihlanganyelwe lokugaywa kabusha kwamabhethri kulandela ukutshalwa kwezimali kwe-Hydro e-Northvolt ngo-2019. Kuzophinde kuqinise ubudlelwano phakathi komkhiqizi wamabhethri nenkampani ye-aluminium.

"I-Northvolt izibekele umgomo ka-50% wezinto zethu ezingavuthiwe ngo-2030 ezivela kumabhethri agaywe kabusha. Ubambiswano ne-Hydro luyingxenye ebalulekile yendida ukuze kuvikelwe ukuphakelwa kwangaphandle kwezinto ngaphambi kokuthi amabhethri ethu aqale ukufika ekupheleni kwempilo futhi abuyiselwe kithi," kusho u-Emma Nehrenheim, Isikhulu Esiyinhloko Sezemvelo esibhekene neyunithi yebhizinisi leRevolt North.

KwaHydro, ubudlelwano buphinde bumele ithuba lokuqinisekisa ukuthi i-aluminium evela kwa-Hydro izosetshenziswa kumabhethri nakusistimu yebhethri yakusasa.

"Silindele ukwanda okukhulu kokusetshenziswa kwamabhethri ukuya phambili, nesidingo esilandelayo sokuphathwa okusimeme kwamabhethri asetshenzisiwe. Lokhu kumelela isinyathelo esisha embonini enamandla amakhulu futhi kuzothuthukisa ukugaywa kabusha kwezinto. I-Hydro Volt yengeza kuphothifoliyo yethu yezinhlelo zamabhethri, ezihlanganisa kakade ukutshalwa kwezimali ku-Northvolt kanye ne-Corvus, lapho singakwazi ukukhulisa ulwazi lwethu," kusho i-Molumicycling yethu.
