Inkqubo yeGreen Initiative

Humanity runs on energy and materials: more than a hundred billion tonnes of stuff dug, grown and pumped out of the planet every year, and a power system that still burns fossil fuels for most of its energy. IGreen Initiative ichaza apho le nto ivela khona, yintoni ebiza ngayo iplanethi, kwaye apho ubugcisa bokwakha butshintsha khona i-equation, kuquka nophando lwethu oluvulekileyo kwindlela entsha yomoya.

Imibuzo esisebenza kuyo

• Iindawo zokufumana amandla. Ukuba ikhoyili, igesi, i-nuclear, amanzi ashushu, umoya kunye nelanga zithelekiswa njani ngokuqinisekileyo kwixesha labo lonke, ekuphumeni kwezinto, kukhuseleko nomhlaba. Funda isikhokelo somthombo wombane.
• Ubalo lwabantu, ukusetyenziswa kwamandla kunye neendawo ezifumanekayo. Ukuba inani labantu, ukuba sisebenzisa ntoni na kwaye iteknoloji ehlangabezana nalo maxabiso idibanisa njani kwindlela esihamba ngayo kwiplanethi enye: into efundisa ngayo iziqithi malunga nemida, kutheni uqeqesho nocwangciso lweentsapho oluyalelwe ngokuzithandela kubaluleke kakhulu, kutheni indlu nganye ifuna ukukhanya, indawo neluhlaza, nokuba kutheni ukudla kungaveliswa ngeendawo ezincinci zesizwe ngaphandle kokukhathazeka. Funda ulwazi malunga nolu luhlu lwabahlali nabaxhasi.
• Imigangatho ye-Fan. Ingaba imigangatho eyenziwe ngamawaka eemitha ezincinci ze-fan, ubungakanani bezinto ezipholileyo kwikhompyutha, zingavelisa amandla asebenzayo kumagumbi ophahla kunye nemimandla emikhulu? Inkqubo yethu yophando oluvulekileyo, ngee-mathematics kunye namaxabiso athembekileyo. Funda malunga ne i-Fan Wall.
• Iindlela ezikhethwayo, enye nganye. Inqaku elinzulu, elinokufumaneka kwimbono nganye kwiradari engaphantsi, elibhalwe ngokholo olufanayo njengeFane Wall: indlela isebenza ngayo, yintoni eyenza ukuba ingasebenzi, yintoni eyenziweyo ngokusemthethweni, into ebiza ngayo xa kuthelekiswa nelanga lendlu yangasese, kunye nokuba yintoni ekufuneka imodeli yokusebenza iyenze. Izitulo zelanga ezivelisa ubushushu, izibane zombane zasekhaya, izibane ezidadayo, umsinga we-tidal, umandla omdaka, izinto ezincinane nezifakwe empompo zokuqhuba amanzi, iitikiti zesikwere kunye nobushushu, iipampu zobushushu ezivela kumphezulu, ubushushu obulahlekileyo, izibhaka-bhaka ze-energy kunye ukutshintsha kweemfuno.

Indawo apho iplanethi idibana khona nexabiso

Iibhetri ezibiza kakhulu ze-electricity eziye zaveliswa ngoku zivela kwiinqanawa ezintsha zomoya kunye neentyatyambo zelanga eninzi yehlabathi, kwaye ixabiso lebhetri liphukile. Okukhawulezisa utshintsho kunzima ukuba kube yitekhnoloji: i-grids, izivumelwano, imali kunye nesimo. Le yindawo apho Ukusebenziseka kweKapitali kwiSayensi kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukhetho olucocekileyo oluyinto ebiza kakhulu alunakubakho mfuneko yokunyanzelisa.

Ixesha lentsimbi alipheli ngenxa yokungakholeki kweentsimbi.

Iinkqubo eziqinisekisiweyo

Itshintsho sele likhona kwaye linokulinganiselwa.

• Iigrids ezicocekileyo zikhona. Iinkuni zefu zavelisa iipesenti ezingama-84 zombane waseDenmark ngo-2000 kwaye iipesenti ezingama-11 ngo-2024; iUruguay yasungula amandla ayo omoya ngaphantsi kweshumi elinesibini leminyaka; iKenya ivelisa inxenye yegesi yayo ukusuka kubushushu beRift Valley (Our World in Data). Bona i-grids esele itshintshile.
• Ixabiso lahla. Inkqubo yelanga ibiza ngeepesenti ezingama-99.8 ngaphantsi kunaye ngo-1975, kwaye iiseli zebhetri zelithiyum-ion zingaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-99 ngaphantsi kunezo zakulo 1991 (Umhlaba wethu kwiData; Ritchie). Bona i-curve yokufunda.
• Ukufunda nokukhetha umsebenzi. EBangladesh, apho abasebenzi bezempilo bazisa ukucwangciswa kweentsapho kumakhaya endoda kunye nemali yoncedo igcina abantwana bekwimfundo yesibini, usapho oluphakathi lwalusuka lineminyaka esixhenxe ukuya kwezibini, ngokukhethwa (IBhanki Yehlabathi).
• Izinto eziphilayo zingagcinwa kwaye zilungiswe. I-South Korea ngoku isebenzisa kwakhona malunga neepesenti ezingama-95 zezinto zayo zokulahleka kweemveliso, umphezulu weozone ukwindlela yokuphiliswa emva kokuba ihlabathi lisuse iikhemikhali ezibangela ukuba kungabikho nto, nabafazi baseNigeri bakhule kwakhona malunga nemifuno ezigidi ezili-200. Bona izinto eziqinisekisiweyo zolu hlobo loqoqosho.

IiNkonzo

Ii-NGOs ezinjenge SolarAid, Solar Sister, Practical Action, CAMFED, Room to Read ne WRAP zisebenza kule ngxaki yonke imihla kwaye zipapasha iziphumo zabo. Izinto ezisebenza ngazo zichazwe kwi izixhobo zombane kunye ne uqoqosho noluncedo iphepha. Khangela umsebenzi wabo, ukuba ukholelwa kuyo, nikela kubo ngokuthe ngqo. Local Solar System I Foundation ayihambelani nanye yazo kwaye ayifumananga nto kuzo; nceda ujonge iingxelo zazo zonke iinkampani phambi kokuba unikezele.

Iimbono zifunwa

I-Fan Wall yimbono enye. Sifuna okuninzi. Iithayile zelanga ezivelisa ubushushu, iipaneli eziphezulu kwezityalo kunye neendawo zokugcinwa kwegesi, ubushushu obugcinwe kumkhenkce, amandla abuyiselwa kwimibhobho yamanzi kunye neengxowa-manzi, izikhephe ezifika kumoya onamandla ngakumbi, nokulinganisa ixesha elifanelekileyo lokusetyenziswa kwamandla esilusebenzisayo: ngalinye lineefizikhi eziphambili zasemva kwayo kwaye linemda eqinileyo kufuneka ihlolwe. I-radar engaphantsi ithelekiswa neshumi elinesithathu lazo kumacala omabini kwindlela yokujongana nayo yonke into ekufuneka iphumelele, uphahla lwelanga, kwaye nganye yazo iqhagamshelwe kwinqaku layo elinzulu. Isichazamandla se-energy sources sichaza indlela nganye kunye nokuba yintoni equlethe imbono enamandla.

Ukusuka kwimbono ukuya ku-pitch: imithetho yemodeli yokusebenza

Abathile abaxhasi beFoundation banokuba nabaqhagamshelana nabo abanokuva ilizwi elinamandla lengqondo. Ukubekwa, imbono ifuna imisebenzi, imodeli yobomi bokwenyani eyenza amandla, nemveliso yayo eqikelelwa kwisixhobo, ayithethiweyo. Iimbono zephepha zithandeka kakhulu: ukuba ifizikhi kunye namaxabiso aqinile, sinokuzipapasha apha kwiwebhusayithi. kodwa ukunyusa ikapitali ngaphandle kwemodeli esebenza kakuhle kunzima kakhulu, kwaye akukho nto apha inokuba yithemba lokuxhaswa, ukuphinda kwenziwe okanye ukunikezelwa. Thumela i-idea yakho.

Uncedo olufumanekayo

• Ukuqonda amandla akho. Funda ityala lakho le-electricity: usebenzisa ntoni, kwaye uvela phi amandla onikezelwa ngumboneleli wakho? Ababoneleli abaninzi bakuvumela ukuba ukhethe amandla avuselelekayo.
• Cima iinkunkuma kuqala. Ukukhuselwa, ukumelana nokutyhala, izixhobo ezisebenzayo kunye nee-LED bulbs zizinto ezibiza kakhulu zezo zonke iinkqubo zombane.
• Yenza kwakhona, sebenzisa kwakhona, uthathe ngetyala. Imveliso eluhlaza kakhulu yiyo ehlala ixesha elide; isibini esiluhlaza kakhulu siyo esinikezelwa.
• Uxhaso lweenkqubo zombane zasekhaya. Iiprojekthi zelanga kunye nomoya, kunye neepaneli eziphezulu zesikwere kwizikolo nakwiindawo zokutyela, zigcina imali nezixhobo zasekhaya. Buza ikomiti yakho ngazo.
• Nika imbono. Abazobi, abavelisi kunye nabafundi banokufuna indlela engcono yokuyila, ukugcinwa okanye ukonga amandla nge-ifomu yonikezelo, okanye bancedise ukuyila nokuhlola umgca wefanitshala.
• Nceda ujonge. Wonke umntu anganceda ukuvavanya, ukuguqulela kwaye anikezele ngebhodi ye uncedo.
