Indawo Yokuqala Yase-Canada Yokucutshungulwa Kwezinto Zebhethri Eziphansi Ezizokwakhiwa e-Sudbury

U-Wyloo ungene ku-Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) neDolobha lase-Greater Sudbury ukuze kutholakale indawo yokwakha indawo yokucubungula izinto zebhethri eziya phansi ngomfula. Isikhungo esisha sizovala igebe elibalulekile echungechungeni lokuhlinzekwa kwebhethri lemoto kagesi yaseCanada (EV) ngokusungula isixazululo esididiyelwe saseCanada se-mine-to-precursor cathode active material (pCAM).

Isikhulu sakwaWyloo eCanada uKristan Straub uthe lesi sikhungo sizohlinzeka ngocezu olungekho ezifisweni zaseCanada zokuthuthukisa uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwebhethri le-EV, ngokukhiqiza i-low-carbon nickel sulphate kanye ne-nickel-dominant pCAM, izithako ezibalulekile zamabhethri e-EV.

“Ngokubona isidingo somhlaba wonke sezimoto zikagesi nobunye ubuchwepheshe obuhlanzekile, iCanada isitshale imali engaphezu kwezigidigidi ezingama-40 zamarandi kuze kube manje ukusungula izwe njengesizinda somhlaba wonke semboni ye-EV. Nakuba sincoma lokhu kutshalwa kwezimali, kuveze igebe elikhulu e-North America EV supply chain, ikakhulukazi, ukuguqulwa kwensimbi ibe amakhemikhali ebhethri,” esho.

"Ukuphuthuma kokuqinisa amandla eNyakatho Melika okucubungula izinsimbi - ikakhulukazi, i-nickel - akukaze kubonakale nakakhulu. Indawo yethu izoba isiqephu esilahlekile esakha amandla okucubungula izinto zebhethri khona lapha e-Sudbury. "

I-Nickel yalesi sikhungo izohlinzekwa imayini ehlongozwayo ye-Eagle's Nest ye-Wyloo endaweni ye-Ring of Fire enyakatho ye-Ontario, kanye neminye imithombo yokuphakelayo okune-nickel okuvela eceleni nezinto zebhethri ezigaywe kabusha.

“Nge-Eagle's Nest njengehange lethu, kuhlanganiswe nokuphakelayo okuvela eceleni okuvela kweminye imithombo yaseNyakatho Melika, sakha amandla okwanele ukuhlangabezana namaphesenti angu-50 esidingo se-nickel kusukela ekutshalweni kwe-EV okumenyezelwe,” kusho uMnu. Straub.

“Ukuzibophezela kwethu ukuletha i-nickel ehlanzekile yezinga eliphezulu etholakala ngokufanelekile kusukela ekukhishweni kuya ekucutshungulweni. Lokhu kuzibophezela kuhlose ukunika amandla iCanada, eyaziwa ngamazinga ayo emvelo angenakuqhathaniswa kanye nezinqubo ezizinzile, ukuba ibe umholi ekutshalweni kwezimali kwendawo ekucutshungulweni komfula, ukusungula uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka oluzinzile nolunokuziphatha ngaphandle kokuthembela ekuthengisweni okuvela phesheya kwezilwandle.

"Ngifuna ukubonga iDolobha laseGreater Sudbury ngombono walo wokukhuthaza imboni yasekhaya futhi ngifuna ukubonga ukwesekwa yi-Atikameksheng Anishnawbek kanye ne-Wahnapitae First Nations esibheke ngabomvu ukusebenzisana nayo njengoba siqhubeka nalo msebenzi."

"Sibheke ngabomvu ukuqhubeka nengxoxo nokuthuthukisa ubudlelwano no-Wyloo kulo msebenzi," kusho u-Atikameksheng Anishnawbek Gimaa Craig Nootchtai. “Ukusebenza ngokubambisana kuqinisekisa ukuthi amasiko namasiko ethu ayafakwa ekuthuthukisweni komnotho wezwe.”

“Ukuba yingxenye yalezi zingxoxo kubalulekile emiphakathini yethu,” kusho iNduna Yesizwe Sokuqala WaseWahnapitae uLarry Roque. "Ubambiswano oluzothuthukiswa nalo msebenzi luzokhombisa okufanele kwenziwe kwezinye iZizwe Ezihlangene kanye nezinkampani ezizimele."

IGreater Sudbury iqokwe njengendawo yalesi sikhungo ngenxa yobuholi bayo bomhlaba wonke emkhakheni wezimayini kanye nokuhamba phambili ekushintsheni ezobuchwepheshe obuhlanzekile, kanye nokuzibophezela kwayo ekubuyisaneni kwaboMdabu nemiphakathi yeFirst Nation.

“I-Greater Sudbury inomhlaba, ithalente nezinsiza ezidingekayo ngekusasa lezimayini kanye nobuchwepheshe be-BEV, njengoba kuboniswa u-Wyloo ekhetha umphakathi wethu wesikhungo sokuqala saseCanada salolu hlobo,” kusho iMeya yaseGreater Sudbury u-Paul Lefebvre.

“Umlando wethu onothile wezimayini, imizamo yokususa ukungcola kwekhabhoni kanye nezinqubo ezisimeme zezimayini zisenza sihluke, futhi siqinisekise ukuthi sikulungele ukusekela kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha. Siyisizinda sezimayini emhlabeni wonke esitshala imali esikhathini esizayo, futhi sibheke ngabomvu ukusebenzisana nabakwa-Wyloo kanye nabalingani bendawo boMdabu njengoba le phrojekthi iqhubeka.”

Umhlonishwa u-Vic Fedeli, uNgqongqoshe Wezokuthuthukiswa Komnotho, Ukudalwa Kwamathuba Emisebenzi Nokuhweba wase-Ontario waphawula, “Ingcebo yezimbiwa ebucayi yase-Ontario isenza sihluke njengendawo yomhlaba wonke yokukhiqiza amabhethri e-EVs kanye ne-EV.

“Sihalalisela i-Wyloo nge-MOU yabo neDolobha lase-Greater Sudbury ukuze kwakhiwe indawo yokuqala yesizwe yethu yokucubungula izinsimbi zebhethri ezisezingeni eliphansi, ezizokwengeza esinye isixhumanisi esibalulekile ochungechungeni lwe-EV oludidiyelwe ngokugcwele, oluphela-kuya ekupheleni,” kusho uNgqongqoshe uFedeli.

"Ngibheke phambili ekusekelweni okuqhubekayo ohulumeni base-Ontario kanye nohulumeni waseCanada ukusheshisa indlela eya phambili ekukhiqizeni, okuzodala uchungechunge lwangempela lokuhlinzekwa kweNyakatho Melika kusukela emayini kuya kumabhethri e-EV," kusho uMnu Straub.

Njengamanje i-Wyloo iphothula i-Scoping Study yale phrojekthi, kanti ukwakhiwa kwalesi sikhungo kulindeleke ukuthi kuqale ngemva kokwakhiwa kwemayini ehlongozwayo ye-Eagle's Nest. Ukwakhiwa kwemayini kuhloswe ukuthi kuqale ngo-2027.

I-Wyloo kanye neDolobha bazibophezele ekuxoxisaneni nababambiqhaza, ikakhulukazi imiphakathi yabomdabu, ukuze bahlole futhi bahlonze ubudlelwano obungase bube khona ukuze kuqinisekiswe izinzuzo ezihlanganyelwe kwezomnotho, ezenhlalo nezemvelo kanye namanye amathuba okusebenzisana.

U-Wyloo uphethwe ngasese ngu-Tattarang, iqembu elizimele lokutshala izimali lika-Andrew noNicola Forrest.
