I hainatia e Bayer tētahi whakaaetanga hiko pūngao whakahou 1.4TWh!

I te 3 o Mei, i panuitia e Bayer AG, he rōpū matū me te rongoā rongonui o te ao, me Cat Creek Energy (CCE), he kaihanga hiko pūngao hou, te hainatanga o tētahi whakaaetanga hoko pūngao hou mō te wā roa. E ai ki te whakaaetanga, kei te whakamahere a CCE ki te hanga i ngā momo whare rokiroki pūngao hou me te pūngao ki Idaho, USA, ka whakaputa i te 1.4TWh o te hiko ma ia tau hei whakatutuki i ngā hiahia hiko hou a Bayer.

I kī te Tumu Whakarae o Bayer, a Werner Baumann, ko te whakaaetanga ki a CCE tētahi o ngā whakaaetanga pūngao whakahou nui rawa atu i te US, ā, ka whakarite kia 40 ōrau o Bayer'ā-ao me te 60 ōrau o Bayer'Ko ngā hiahia hiko o te US i ahu mai i ngā pūtake whakahou, me te whakatutuki i a Bayer Renewable Power'te Paerewa Kounga.

Ka tutuki i te kaupapa te 1.4TWh o te hiko pūngao hou, he rite ki te whakapaunga pūngao o te 150,000 whare, ā, ka whakaitihia ngā tukunga hauhā waro mā te 370,000 tāne ia tau, he rite tonu ki ngā tukunga o te 270,000 motuka rahi-waenga, arā, 31.7 miriona te nui o te hauhā waro ka taea e te rākau te mimiti i ia tau.

Whakawhāitihia te mahana o te ao ki te 1.5 nekehanga Celsius i te tau 2050, kia rite ki ngā Whāinga Whakawhanake Tauwhiro a te Kotahitanga o ngā Whenua o te Ao me te Whakaaetanga o Parī. Ko te whāinga a Bayer he whakaiti tonu i ngā tukunga hau kati kōtuhi i roto i te kamupene me te mekameka ahumahi puta noa, me te whāinga kia tutuki te kore waro i roto i āna ake mahi i te tau 2030. Ko tētahi rautaki matua hei whakatutuki i ngā whāinga whakaiti tukunga a Bayer ko te hoko hiko whakahou 100% i te tau 2030.

E mārama ana ko te tipu hiko a Bayer i Idaho te tipu hiko nui rawa atu a Bayer i te Hononga o Amerika. E ai ki tēnei whakaaetanga mahi tahi, ka mahi tahi ngā rōpū e rua ki te hanga i tētahi tūāpapa hiko 1760MW mā te whakamahi i ngā hangarau hiko maha. Ina koa, i whakaaro a Bayer he wāhanga hangarau nui te rokiroki hiko mō te whakawhiti angitu ki te hiko ma. Ka whakamahia e CCE te rokiroki papu hei tautoko i te whanaketanga o tana hangarau rokiroki hiko roa-rahi. Kei te whakamahere te whakaaetanga ki te tāuta i tētahi pūnaha rokiroki hiko pākahiko tauine 160MW hei tautoko me te whakarei ake i te pono me te pono o te whatunga tuku hiko ā-rohe.
