Namuhla, sonke sizwa amagama anjengokuthi “Ukufudumala Komhlaba” kanye nokuthi “Ukushintsha Kwesimo Sezulu” ngaso sonke isikhathi, akunjalo? Ngakho-ke njengesixazululo salokhu, izinkampani ezinkulu namabhizinisi benza izinto ezahlukahlukene ukunciphisa ‘i-Carbon Footprint’ yabo, okungukuthi, inani lamagesi ayingozi angezwe emvelweni ngenxa yemisebenzi yabo. Ezinye izinkampani zisebenza kanzima ukunciphisa izinto ezifana nomusi okhishwa ezimbonini zazo. Kodwa ezinye izinkampani zenza okuhlukile. Okungukuthi, ukuze zibuyisele umonakalo eziwubangela emvelweni, zenza okuthile okuhle emvelweni kwenye indawo emhlabeni. Yilokho esikubiza ngokuthi i-Carbon Offset .
Kulungile, pho iyini le Carbon Offset?
Kalula nje, kunezindlela ezimbili zokuhumusha lokhu.
Indlela yokuqala ukuthi uma kukhishwa igesi elimazayo yokushisa (GHG) engxenyeni ethile yomhlaba, inani laleyo gesi liyancishiswa noma lisuswe emkhathini kwenye indawo ukuze kulungiswe umonakalo. Cabanga ngakho njengokutshala izihlahla. Lokho okwenziwa yizihlahla ukumunca i-carbon dioxide (CO2) emkhathini. Lokho kuyinto efana naleyo.
Indlela yesibili iwukuba yinhlangano noma umuntu ngamunye. Yilapho umuntu noma inkampani ithenga khona “ama-carbon credits” ukuze ikhokhele inani le-carbon eliyikhipha emvelweni ngenxa yemisebenzi yayo (isibonelo, izindiza , amafektri). I-carbon credit eyodwa isitifiketi esimele ukususwa kwe-metric ton eyodwa ye-carbon dioxide noma enye igesi yokushisa emkhathini kwenye indawo emhlabeni. Lezi zitifiketi zikhishwa ohulumeni noma izinhlangano ezizimele eziqashelwayo.
Imali etholakala ngokuthengisa lawa ma-carbon credits ivame ukusetshenziselwa amaphrojekthi anobungani nemvelo. La maphrojekthi avimba ukukhishwa kwamagesi ayingozi noma asuse inani legesi emoyeni elilingana nenani elikhishwe yinkampani ebangele umonakalo.
Ukuze le ndlela yamukelwe njengelungile ngempela, ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi okuvela kuphrojekthi efanele kumele kube okulinganiselwe, okungokoqobo, nokuhlala njalo .
Isebenza kanjani le ndlela ye-Carbon Offset?
Esikhathini esiningi, izinhlangano nabantu ngabanye bakwenza lokhu ngokuzithandela. Ngezinye izikhathi bakwenza lokhu ukuze bahambisane nemithetho nemigomo kahulumeni. Cabanga ngenkampani enkulu eqaphela ukuthi akunakwenzeka ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwayo kwekhabhoni ngaphandle kokuthinta ukusebenza kwayo kwansuku zonke. Lokho okwenziwa yileyo nkampani ukuthenga amakhredithi ekhabhoni kothile noma enhlanganweni eyenza iphrojekthi enobungani nemvelo kwenye indawo.
Ake siqonde lokhu ngesinye isibonelo esilula.
Ake sithi kufanele uhambe ngendiza njalo emsebenzini wakho. Siyazi ukuthi ukuhamba ngendiza kwengeza ikhabhoni eningi emvelweni. Kodwa awukwazi ukuyeka lolu hambo. Ngakho-ke unquma ukwenza i-Carbon Offsetting.
Okokuqala, ubala ukuthi ingakanani ikhabhoni oyifakile ezindizeni zakho emvelweni (kukhona amathuluzi akhethekile aku-inthanethi alokhu). Bese, uthenga inani elifanele lamakhredithi ekhabhoni kumthengisi othembekile. Umthengisi ugcina imali yakhe bese etshala imali esele entweni efana nephrojekthi yokutshala izihlahla.
Uma usuthenge lawa makhredithi, uzothola isitifiketi sokuthobela imithetho. Lokhu kufakazela ukuthi uthathe izinyathelo zokunciphisa umthelela wakho wekhabhoni, ngokungaqondile. Ezinkampanini, kungafakazela nokuthi ziyayithobela imithetho yemvelo.
Uma belinganisa ukuthi inkampani izinzile kangakanani, babala ukukhishwa kwayo okuphelele ngokususa inani le-carbon offsets abayithengile ku-carbon ekhishwe yiyo yonke. Uma wena noma inkampani ningabonisa ukuthi bathenge inani le-carbon credits elilingana ne-carbon footprint yabo, babhekwa “njenge-carbon-neutral,” okusho ukuthi bane-carbon emissions ephelele.
Ezinye izibonelo zamaphrojekthi e-Carbon Offset
Kunezinhlelo ezahlukene ze-carbon offset ezisebenza emhlabeni wonke. Lezi zingahlukaniswa zibe izinhlobo ezimbili eziyinhloko. Eyokuqala yimiklamo evimbela amagesi okushisa (i-GHG) ukuthi angezwe emvelweni. Enye yimiklamo enciphisa inani lamagesi asevele ekhona.
Nazi ezinye izibonelo ezinhle zale misebenzi.
| Uhlobo lwephrojekthi | Kwenzekani? |
|---|---|
| Ukutshalwa kwamahlathi | Amaphrojekthi okutshala izihlahla. Izihlahla zimunca futhi zigcine ikhabhoni dayoksayidi emoyeni. |
| Amandla Avuselelekayo | Izinto ezifana namapulazi omoya kanye namaphrojekthi wamandla elanga. Lokhu kunciphisa ukuncika kumafutha angaphansi komhlaba afana namalahle kanye nophethiloli. |
| Ukuphathwa Kwezindawo Zokulahla Udoti | Amaphrojekthi okubamba igesi ye-methane (igesi enamandla kakhulu yokushisa) ekhishwa ezindaweni zokulahla udoti. |
| Ezolimo | Abalimi basebenzisa amasu akhethekile ukutshala izitshalo ngendlela ephumelelayo, okunciphisa imfucuza. |
| Ukuphathwa Kwamanzi | Ukuhlinzeka ngamanzi ahlanzekile ezindaweni ezinamanzi angcolile, ngaleyo ndlela kuvinjelwe ukushiswa kwezinkuni kanye nokubasa ukuze kubiliswe noma kuhlanzwe amanzi. |
Yiziphi izinzuzo nezingozi zale ndlela?
Kukhona labo abasekelayo nalabo abaphikisana nalolu hlelo lwe-Carbon Offset.
Uhlangothi oluhle (izinzuzo) zale ndlela
Abasekeli bathi, uma kwenziwa kahle, leli yithuba elihle lezinkampani lokuqhubekela phambili ekukhiqizweni komoya ongcolile ongenayo i-net-zero. Futhi ngalezi zinhlelo:
- Ezolimo ezihlala isikhathi eside zingadalwa.
- Izinhlelo zemvelo zingaphathwa.
- Izinhlelo zamandla avuselelekayo zingathuthukiswa.
- Unganikela ekulondolozweni kwemvelo.
Ububi bale ndlela (ububi)
Kodwa abaphikisi bathi lokhu kufana “nokuhlanza okuluhlaza.” Okusho ukuthi, inkampani ikhangisa ngamanga ukuthi imikhiqizo yayo inobungani nemvelo kakhulu kunalokho eyikho ngempela. Isibonelo, inkampani inganikela ngemali kuphrojekthi efana nalena bese ikhombisa umhlaba ukuthi, “Sisindisa imvelo,” ngaphandle kokwenza noma yini ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwayo kwekhabhoni. Abagxeki bathi lokhu kuphazamisa umsebenzi wangempela okudingeka wenziwe ukulwa nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amanye amaphrojekthi okunciphisa izindleko atholakale eqaliswa ngaphandle kwemvume yabantu bomdabu abahlala kulawo mazwe. Lokhu kuholele ekulahlekelweni kwendlela yabo yokuphila kanye nethuba lokungcoliswa okwengeziwe kwalezo zindawo.
Ngakho-ke, ingabe le Carbon Offset iphumelele ngempela?
Ngokwethiyori, uhlelo lwe-Carbon Offsets lungaphumelela. Ngenxa yokuthi amagesi okushisa (i-GHG) awahlali endaweni eyodwa, asakazeka kuwo wonke umkhathi. Ngakho-ke ukunciphisa inani lalawo magesi ndawana thize emhlabeni kuyinto enhle ethinta umhlaba wonke.
Kodwa inkinga isekuqaliseni lokhu ngokoqobo.
Ukuze i-carbon offset iphumelele, lo msebenzi kumele ubonise ukuthi unciphise ukukhishwa kwegesi. Udinga nemishini ebizayo ukuze ulinganise ngokunembile inani lokukhishwa kwegesi. Udinga futhi izindlela nezindinganiso ezibhalwe kahle.
Ngenxa yalezi zinselele, akuwona wonke amaphrojekthi e-offset athola imiphumela efiselekayo. Ngakho-ke, kunzima ukuqiniseka ngokuphelele ukuthi uhlelo lwe-Carbon Offset luyasebenza ngempela futhi lunciphisa amazinga e-GHG emvelweni.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- I-Carbon Offset isho ukunikela ngemali kuphrojekthi eyenza okuthile okuhle endaweni ethile emhlabeni, ukuze kuncishiswe inani le-carbon elifakwa yizenzo zakho emvelweni.
- Lokhu kwenziwa ngokuthenga “amakhredithi ekhabhoni.” Ikhredithi eyodwa isitifiketi esibonisa ukulinganiswa kwethani elilodwa lekhabhoni.
- Izibonelo zamaphrojekthi anjalo zifaka phakathi ukutshala izihlahla nokwakha amapulazi omoya.
- Nakuba abanye bencoma lolu hlelo, abanye bathi "kuwukuhlanzwa kwezitshalo" yizinkampani ukuze zibalekele imithwalo yazo yangempela.
- Ukuze le ndlela iphumelele, kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amaphrojekthi okukhulunywa ngawo empeleni, ngokulinganisa, nangokuhlala njalo anciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni.
ukususwa kwekhabhoni, ukufudumala komhlaba, imvelo, ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu, amagesi okushisa umhlaba, umthelela wekhabhoni
