Ua lilo ʻo Antofagasta (LON: ANTO) i ʻoihana ʻelina mua ma Chile i hoʻonohonoho i kahipapahana hoʻokele e holomua i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hydrogeni nā lako eli nui, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā kaʻa hoʻokele.
ʻO ka pailaka, i hoʻonoho ʻia ma ka ʻoihana keleawe ʻo Centinela ma ka ʻākau o Chile, he ʻāpana o $1.2 miliona HYDRA papahana, i hoʻomohala ʻia e ke aupuni Australia, Brisbane-based mining research center Mining3, Mitsui & Co (USA) a me ENGIE.ʻO ka hui hoʻomohala Chile ʻo Corfo kekahi hoa.
ʻO ka hoʻolālā, ʻāpana o Antofagastahoʻolālā e kūʻē i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau, manaʻo e kūkulu i ka ʻenekini hoʻoheheʻe hydrogen-based me nā pākahi a me nā cell e like me ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka hiki maoli o ka mea e hoʻololi i ka diesel.
"Inā hāʻawi kēia pailaka i nā hopena maikaʻi, manaʻo mākou e loaʻa nā kaʻa kaʻa e hoʻohana ana i ka hydrogen i loko o ʻelima mau makahiki," wahi a ka luna nui o Centinela, ʻo Carlos Espinoza, i ka ʻōlelo.
Ke hoʻohana nei ka ʻoihana mining o Chile ma luna o 1,500 mau kaʻa hoʻokele, e ʻai ana kēlā me kēia 3,600 lita o ka diesel i ka lā, e like me ka ʻoihana mining.ʻO nā kaʻa he 45% o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu o ka ʻoihana, e hana ana i 7Bt/y o nā kalapona kalapona.
Ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kāna Kuʻuna Hoʻololi Climate, ua lawe ʻo Antofagasta i nā hana e hoʻēmi i nā hopena hiki o kāna mau hana.Ma 2018, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻoihana mining mua ihoʻokō i ka pahuhopu e hōʻemi i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo (GHG).o 300,000 tonnes e 2022. Mahalo i nā ʻano hana, ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ka hui i kāna pahuhopu i ʻelua mau makahiki ma mua, ua aneane pālua ʻia ia, a loaʻa i kahi hoʻokuʻu 580,000-tonne i ʻoki ʻia i ka hopena o 2020.
Ma mua o kēia pule, ua hui pū ka mea hana keleawe i nā lālā 27 o ka International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) e hana i kahika pahuhopu o ka neʻe ʻana i nā kalapona pololei a pololei ʻole ma ka makahiki 2050 a i ʻole.
Hoʻolālā ka mea miner i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma Lākana, nona nā hana keleawe ʻehā ma Chileholo i kāna ʻoihana Centinela wale nō ma ka ikehu houmai 2022 aku.
Ua hoʻopaʻa inoa mua ʻo Antofagasta i kahi kuʻikahi me ka mea hana uila Chile ʻo Colbún SA e mana i kāna ʻoihana keleawe ʻo Zaldívar, kahi hui hui 50-50 me Kanada Barrick Gold, me ka ikehu hou wale nō.
ʻO ka hui, nona ka hapa nui o ka ʻohana Luksic o Chile, kekahi o nā mea waiwai loa o ka ʻāinamanaʻolana e hoʻololi piha ʻo Zaldívar i nā mea hou i ka makahiki i hala.Ua lohi ka maʻi maʻi honua i ka hoʻolālā.
Ua hoʻololi like ʻo Antofagasta i kāna mau ʻaelike lako uila e hoʻohana i nā kumu ikehu maʻemaʻe wale nō.Ma ka hopena o 2022, e hoʻohana nā hana ʻehā o ka hui i ka 100% ikehu hou, wahi a ia.
