Mā ngā mahi auaha a te kamupene hangarau āhuarangi ka hurihia te hauhā me te wai hei ngota tūāpapa pumau mō te whakamahi i roto i te ahuwhenua, te pūngao me te kawe waka.
RICHLAND, Wash., Whiringa-ā-rangi 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Kua kohia e te kamupene tīmatanga whakawhiti waro OCOchem te $5 miriona i roto i te pūtea whakangao mai i ngā kaipupuri moni matua. I whai wāhi atu hoki a INPEX Corp. ki te rauna. (IPXHF.NaE), LCY Lee Family Office me MIH Capital Management. Ka uru atu ngā kaipupuri moni ki a Halliburton Labs, te kaiwhakatere hangarau pūngao me te āhuarangi a Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), hei tautoko i te whānui o OCOchem mai i te tau 2021.
Mā te whakamahi i tana hangarau motuhake, kei te hokohoko te kamupene kei Richland, Washington i tētahi tikanga hou mō te huri hiko i te hauhā waro (CO2) hangarua, te wai me te hiko ma ki te waikawa formic me ngā formates, ā, mā reira ka hangaia he ngota waro-kore whai hua. He whānuitanga o ngā matū, rauemi me ngā wahie nui i hangaia mai i ngā warowaihā wahie pūmua ka taea te hanga ināianei i roto i tētahi huarahi pumau me te whai hua ake ma te whakamahi i tēnei ngota poraka hanga.
Ka whakamahia e OCOchem ngā moni hou kua kohia hei whakanui ake i tana hangarau hurihanga waro ā-pūnaha ki te tauine ahumahi, me te whakatū i tētahi tipu whakamātautau mō ngā mahi whakaaturanga arumoni. Ka taea e ngā kaihanga ahumahi, pūngao me te ahuwhenua te hoko i ngā tote waikawa formic me te formate i hangaia mā te hangarau a OCOchem hei whakaiti i te kaha o te waro o ngā hua o ia rā, mai i te whāngai me te muka ki te wahie me te tongi, i te utu ōrite, iti iho rānei i ngā hua rite i hangaia mai i ngā matū hinu.
"Mā te whakamahi i te hangarau OCOchem me te hiko ma, ka taea e tātou te mahi i ngā mahi a ngā tipu me ngā rākau mō ngā piriona tau – te whakamahi i te pūngao ma hei huri i te hauhā waro me te wai hei ngota waro whai hua. Engari he rerekē ki te whakaahua-ā-ira, ka taea e tātou te neke tere ake, te whakamahi i te whenua nui ake." "He pai ake te mahi me te utu iti iho," te kī a Todd Brix, te kaiwhakaū me te Tumu Whakarae o OCOchem.
I mea atu a Joshua Fitoussi, te Hoa Whakahaere o TO VC: "E harikoa ana mātou kei te whakatinanahia e te matū hiko tētahi tauira ahumahi hou i te mea kei te heke tonu te utu o te pūngao hou. Hei whakamutunga, ka taea e tātou te waihanga i tētahi ōhanga waro porowhita, ka noho te CO2 hangarua hei hua ka taea te whakaputa ngāwari ake, ā, ko te rauemi kai tino whai hua mō ngā matū maha e tino nui ana ki te ōhanga o te ao. Kei mua a OCOchem i tēnei huringa, e tautuhi ana i te huarahi e tirohia ai te CO2 me te whakaputa hua nui mai i a ia. Hei hua tuatahi, he ngota ngota tino whakamere te waikawa formic matomato nā te mea he maha ngā tono i roto i ngā mākete ahuwhenua me ngā mākete ahumahi o nāianei, tae atu ki ngā mākete rokiroki me te kawe CO2 me te hauwai ā muri ake nei. E whakahīhī ana a TO VC ki te mahi tahi me OCOchem ki te whakatutuki i tana kaupapa o te whakatakoto i ngā wahie pūngoi ki te whenua hei mea tūturu."
Haunga te haumi ki te kamupene, kua mahi tahi a INPEX, te kamupene torotoro, whakawhanake me te whakaputa hinu me te hau nui rawa atu o Hapani, me OCOchem ki te aromatawai i ngā whai wāhitanga mahi tahi mā te whakamahi i te hangarau a te kamupene ki te kawe i te hauhā me te hauwai ma.
"Mā te whakamahi i te pūngao hou, ka hurihia e te hangarau OCOChem te wai me te hauhā waro hei waikawa formic, he mea pumau i raro i ngā āhuatanga taiao. Ka taea hoki te huri i te waikawa formic hei wāhanga waro me te hauwai whai hua me te iti o te whakaurunga pūngao. He mea nui tēnei nā te mea ka taea e te ao te whakamahi i ngā hanganga tohatoha wai o te ao hei kawe i te hauhā waro me te hauwai hei wai e honoa ana ki te matū i ngā pāmahana me ngā pēhanga taiao, e whakarato ana i tētahi huarahi haumaru ake, ā, he iti ake te utu," te kī a Shigeru, te Tumu Whakarae o te Whakawhanake Pakihi Hou. Thode nō INPEX.
E ai ki a Brix, ehara i te mea ka hurihia e te OCOchem te hauhā waro hei mea whai hua anake, engari ka whakaitihia hoki ngā utu pūngao me ngā tukunga e pā ana ki te tango i te waro pūmua mai i te whenua, te kawe i ngā tawhiti roa, me te tukatuka i ngā pāmahana me ngā pēhanga teitei. "I roto i ā mātou tono kua whakaritea, ko te whakakapi i te waro pūmua hei rauemi whāngai ki te waro whakahou ka taea te whakaiti i ngā tukunga waro o te ao neke atu i te 10% me te hanga i te hanga o ngā matū, ngā wahie me ngā rauemi nui ake i te rohe. Tata ki ngā hua katoa e whakaputaina ana, e kainga ana, e whakamahia ana rānei, e whakawhirinaki ana ki te waro. Kua rite. Ehara i te waro te raruraru, engari ko te waro e tangohia ana mai i te ao tūroa, e whakararuraru ana i te taurite waro i roto i te āhuarangi o te Ao, ngā moana me te oneone. Mā te tango i te waro mai i te rangi me te hopu i ngā tukunga, ka taea e tātou te hanga i tētahi ōhanga waro porowhita e whakaiti ana i ngā tukunga i te wā e whakaputa ana i ngā hua e ahu mai ana i te waro e hiahiatia ana e tō tātou ao kia tupu."
I kī a Brix ko te tautoko mai i tētahi rōpū kanorau o ngā kaipupuri moni ahumahi me ngā hoa mahi he tautoko kaha i te whakamahinga whānui o te hangarau a OCOchem mō ngā otinga tango waro puta noa i ngā rāngai ahumahi, pūngao me te ahuwhenua. "Ko tā mātou whāinga he whakaae i tā mātou hangarau ki te ao, ehara i te mea he pai ake mō te taiao, engari he kōwhiringa haumaru ake, hauora ake, me te utu iti ake. Mā tēnei pūtea ka taea e mātou te hanga i tā mātou tīma, te whakawhānui ake i tā mātou hangarau me te whakawhānui ake i ā mātou hononga mahi ki te whakarato i ngā pakihi ki ngā huarahi ma, iti ake te utu hei whakaiti i ngā tukunga."
Mā te hangarau hou a OCOchem ka āwhina i te tango waro i te ao mā te whakaputa hua e whakamahi ana i te waro me te wai kua hopukina anōtia hei utu mō ngā wahie pūmua kua tangohia hei pūtake waro me te hauwai. Ka taea te hanga me te whakatinana i te tipu hurihanga waro ā-motu a te kamupene, e kiia nei ko te OCOchem Carbon FluX electrolyser, i tētahi tauine.
He kamupene hangarau ma a OCOchem e hokohoko ana i tana hangarau patent mō te huri i te hauhā waro me te wai mā te hiko hei ngota ngota pumau ka taea te whakamahi hei whakaputa i ētahi atu matū, wahie me ngā rauemi ma, iti ake te utu, tae atu ki te hauwai ma, kua tohatohahia. I whakatuwheratia a OCOchem i te mutunga o te tau 2020, ā, kei te whakahaere i tana taiwhanga rangahau me te whanaketanga matua me ngā mahi hanga i Richland, Washington. I te tau kua hipa i hangaia e te kamupene te mīhini hiko hauhā waro nui rawa atu o te ao. Mō ētahi atu kōrero, tirohia www.ocochem.com.
E tautoko ana a TO VC i ngā tīma nui e whakaoti ana i ngā raruraru tino nui o te ao. He pūtea whakangao mō te tango waro i te tīmatanga o te TO VC e haumi ana ki ngā kamupene hangarau āhuarangi puta noa i ngā pūnaha kai, ngā pūnaha pūngao me te tango waro. E whakapono ana ngā Hoa Whakahaere o TO VC, a Arie Mimran rāua ko Joshua Fitoussi, koinei ngā wāhanga e toru tino kaha mō te auahatanga hei whakatutuki i ngā tukunga hau kati kōtuhi kore-kore i te tau 2050, me te whakahoki mai i te taurite i waenga i te hauora o te tangata me te ao. E whakapono ana a TO VC ko ngā kamupene nui rawa atu o te heke mai ko ngā kamupene āhuarangi, ā, ko ngā kamupene tino ātaahua i ēnei rā ko ērā he kaupapa hei whakaoti i te huringa āhuarangi.
