I-IIT Roorkee iphuhlise umatshini wokwenza iibriquette eziphathwayo usebenzisa iinaliti zepayini

Isebe lezehlathi, lisebenzisana ne-Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, liphuhlise umatshini ophathwayo wokwenza iibriquette ngeenaliti zephayini, umthombo ophambili wemililo yehlathi kurhulumente. Amagosa ezehlathi aqhagamshelana neenjineli ukuze kugqitywe esi sicwangciso.
Ngokutsho kwe-Forest Research Institute (LINI), imithi yephayini ithatha i-26.07% yesigqubuthelo sehlathi esingama-24,295 sq. km. Nangona kunjalo, uninzi lwemithi lukwindawo ephakamileyo engaphezulu kwe-1000 m ngaphezu komphakamo wolwandle, kwaye izinga lokugquma liyi-95.49%. Ngokutsho kwe-FRI, imithi yephayini yeyona nto iphambili ebangela imililo yomhlaba kuba iinaliti ezivuthayo ezilahliweyo zinokuvutha kwaye zithintele ukuphinda zivuselelwe.
Imizamo yangaphambili yesebe lezamahlathi yokuxhasa ukugawulwa kwemithi kwasekuhlaleni kunye nokusetyenziswa kweenaliti zepayini ayiphumelelanga. Kodwa amagosa akakaphelelwa lithemba.
“Besicebe ukuphuhlisa umatshini ophathwayo onokuvelisa iibriquette. Ukuba i-IIT Roorkee iyaphumelela koku, singazidlulisela kwiivan panchayats zasekuhlaleni. Oku, kuya kunceda ngokubandakanya abantu basekuhlaleni ekuqokeleleni imithi ye-coniferous. Bancede baphile ubomi babo,” utshilo uJai Raj, uMgcini-zincwadi oyiNtloko weMithi yamaHlathi (PCCF), iNtloko yamaHlathi (HoFF).
Kulo nyaka, ngaphezulu kweehektare ezingama-613 zomhlaba wamahlathi utshatyalalisiwe ngenxa yomlilo wamahlathi, kwaye kuqikelelwa ukuba ilahleko yengeniso ingaphezulu kwe-Rs 10.57 lakh. Ngo-2017, umonakalo wawufikelela kwiihektare ezili-1245, kwaye ngo-2016 - iihektare ezingama-4434.
Iibriquette ziibhloko zamalahle ezicinezelweyo ezisetyenziswa endaweni yeenkuni. Oomatshini bebriquette bemveli baninzi kwaye bafuna ukulungiswa rhoqo. Amagosa azama ukuphuhlisa uhlobo oluncinci olungenakujongana nobunzima beglue nezinye izinto ezikrwada.
Ukuveliswa kweebriquette akunto intsha apha. Ngo-1988-89, zimbalwa iinkampani ezathatha inyathelo lokucubungula iinaliti zibe ziibriquette, kodwa iindleko zothutho zenze ishishini langabi nangeniso. UMphathiswa oyiNtloko uTS Rawat, emva kokuthatha ulawulo kurhulumente, wabhengeza ukuba nokuqokelelwa kweenaliti kwakuyingxaki njengoko iinaliti zazilula kwaye zinokuthengiswa apha ekhaya ngexabiso eliphantsi njengeRe 1 ngekhilogram. Ezi nkampani zikwahlawula iRe 1 kwiivan panchayats ezifanelekileyo kunye neepaise ezili-10 kurhulumente njengeroyalthi.
Kwiminyaka emithathu, ezi nkampani zanyanzeleka ukuba zivalwe ngenxa yokulahlekelwa. Ngokutsho kwamagosa ehlathi, iinkampani ezimbini zisaguqula iinaliti zibe yi-biogas, kodwa ngaphandle kwe-Almora, abachaphazelekayo babucala abakayinandisi imisebenzi yabo.
“Sithetha ne-IIT Roorkee ngale projekthi. Sixhalabile ngokufanayo ngengxaki ebangelwa ziinaliti kwaye isisombululo singafunyanwa kungekudala,” utshilo uKapil Joshi, umphathi wolondolozo lwamahlathi, iForest Training Institute (FTI), eHaldwani.
