• I-LME yethula izinkontileka ezintsha zokweseka izimboni zezimoto ezigaywe kabusha, ezilahliwe nezikagesi (EV) ekushintsheni emnothweni osimeme.
• Ihlela ukwethula i-LMEpassport, irejista yedijithali eyenza kube nohlelo lokulebula oluzinzile lwe-aluminium emakethe yonke.
• Ihlela ukwethula inkundla yokudayisa ukuze kutholwe amanani kanye nokuhweba nge-carbon aluminium ephansi kubathengi nabathengisi abanentshisekelo.

ILondon Metal Exchange (LME) namuhla ikhiphe iphepha lezingxoxo ngezinhlelo zokuqhubekisela phambili i-ajenda yayo yokusimama.

Yakhela phezu komsebenzi osuwenziwa kakade wokushumeka izindinganiso ezithembekile zokuthola usizo ezidingweni zayo zokufakwa kuhlu lwemikhiqizo, i-LME ikholelwa ukuthi manje yisikhathi esifanele sokwandisa ukugxila kwayo ukuze ihlanganise nezinselelo ezibanzi zokusimama ezibhekene nezimboni zensimbi nezimayini.

I-LME iye yabeka indlela yayo ehlongozwayo eya phambili yokwenza izinsimbi zibe yinsika yekusasa elisimeme, ilandela imigomo emithathu ewumongo: ukugcina ububanzi obubanzi; ukusekela ukudalulwa kwedatha ngokuzithandela; kanye nokuhlinzeka ngamathuluzi adingekayo oshintsho. Le migomo ibonisa inkolelo ye-LME yokuthi imakethe ayikahlangani ngokugcwele eqoqweni elilodwa lezidingo noma izinto ezibalulekile maqondana nokusimama. Ngenxa yalokho, i-LME ihlose ukwakha ukuvumelana ngokubonisa izinto obala okuholwa yimakethe nokuzithandela, ihlinzeka ngenani lamathuluzi namasevisi ukuze kube lula izixazululo ezihlobene nokusimama ngomqondo wayo onwebeka kakhulu.

U-Matthew Chamberlain, Isikhulu Esiphezulu se-LME, uphawule wathi: “Izinsimbi zibalulekile ekushintsheleni kwethu esikhathini esizayo esimeme kakhudlwana - futhi leli phepha libeka umbono wethu wokusebenzisana nemboni ukuze kwandiswe amandla ezinsimbi ukuze kusebenze lolu shintsho. Sesivele sinikeza ukufinyelela ezinkontilekeni ezibalulekile ezimbonini ezithuthukayo njengama-EV kanye nengqalasizinda esekela umnotho oyindilinga. Kodwa kudingeka senze okwengeziwe, ekwakheni lezi zindawo kanye nasekusekeleni ukuthuthukiswa kokukhiqizwa okusimeme kwezinsimbi. Futhi sisesimweni esiqinile - njengenhlanganisela yomhlaba wonke yentengo yensimbi nokuhweba - ukuhlanganisa imboni, njengohlelo lwethu olunomthwalo wemfanelo wokuthola usizo, ohambweni lwethu oluhlangene lwekusasa eliluhlaza.

Izimoto zikagesi kanye nomnotho oyindilinga
I-LME isivele ihlinzeka ngamathuluzi entengo nawokulawula ubungozi enanini lezingxenye ezibalulekile zamabhethri e-EVs kanye ne-EV (ithusi, i-nickel ne-cobalt). Ukwethulwa okulindelekile kwe-LME Lithium kuzokwengeza kulolu hlelo futhi kuhambisane nesidingo sokulawulwa kwengozi yamanani embonini yokukhiqiza amabhethri nezimoto ngentshisekelo evela kubahlanganyeli bemakethe yokuthola ukuchayeka embonini ekhula ngokushesha futhi esimeme.

Ngokufanayo, i-LME ye-aluminium alloy nezinkontileka zensimbi ezilahliwe - kanye nezinye izinhlobo zomthofu ezisohlwini - sezivele zisebenzela izimboni ezilahliwe nezigaywe kabusha. I-LME ihlose ukwandisa ukwesekwa kwayo kule ndawo, iqale ngenkontileka entsha ye-aluminum ukuze isebenzele imboni yekani lesiphuzo elisetshenziselwe eNyakatho Melika (UBC), kanye nokwengeza izinkontileka ezimbili ezintsha zesifunda zensimbi. Ngokusekela lezi zimboni ekulawuleni ingcuphe yazo yamanani, i-LME izosiza ekuthuthukisweni kochungechunge lwenani olugaywe kabusha, iluvumele ukuthi lufinyelele imigomo emikhulu kuyilapho lugcina ukuhlela okuqinile kanye namanani afanelekile.

Ukusimama kwemvelo kanye ne-carbon aluminium ephansi
Nakuba izimboni ezahlukene zensimbi zibhekene nezinselelo ezehlukene zemvelo, kugxilwe kakhulu kwi-aluminium, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yenqubo yayo yokuncibilikisa amandla. I-aluminium, nokho, ibalulekile oguqukweni olusimeme ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwesisindo sokukhanya kanye nokusetshenziswa kwayo kabusha. Ngakho-ke isinyathelo sokuqala se-LME ekusekeleni inguquko eya ekukhiqizeni insimbi esimeme emvelweni sizobandakanya ukuhlinzeka ngokusobala okukhulu eduze kanye nokufinyelela ku-carbon aluminium ephansi. Uma le ndlela yokubeka izinto obala kanye nokufinyelela isimisiwe, i-LME ihlose ukuqalisa umsebenzi obanzi kakhulu ukuze isekele zonke izinsimbi ekubhekaneni nezinselelo zazo zemvelo.

Ukuhlinzeka ngokubonakala okukhulu kwenqubo yokusimama kwekhabhoni, i-LME ihlose ukusebenzisa i-“LMEpassport” - irejista yedijithali ezorekhoda Izitifiketi Zokuhlaziya ze-elekthronikhi (CoAs) kanye nolunye ulwazi lwe-value-add - ukugcina amamethrikhi ahlobene ne-carbon kumaqoqo athile e-aluminium, ngokuzithandela. Abakhiqizi abanentshisekelo noma abanikazi bensimbi bangakhetha ukufaka idatha enjalo ehlobene nensimbi yabo, okumelela isinyathelo sokuqala sohlelo lokulebula oluxhaswe yimakethe yonke “i-aluminium eluhlaza” oluxhaswe yi-LME.

Ukwengeza, i-LME ihlela ukwethula inkundla entsha yokuhwebelana ukuze inikeze ukutholwa kwentengo kanye nokuhweba kwensimbi etholakala ngokuqhubekayo - futhi iqale nge-carbon aluminium ephansi. Lesi sixazululo sesitayela sendali eku-inthanethi sizoletha ukufinyelela (ngokusebenzisa amanani kanye nokusebenza kokuhweba) ngokuzithandela kulabo basebenzisi bemakethe abangathanda ukuthenga noma ukuthengisa i-aluminium enekhabhoni ephansi. Kokubili i-LMEpassport kanye nenkundla yokuhweba indawo kuzotholakala kuzo zombili izinhlobo ze-LME- nezingekho ohlwini lwe-LME.

UGeorgina Hallett, oyiChief Sustainability Officer ye-LME, uphawule wathi: “Siyaqaphela ukuthi mkhulu umsebenzi obalulekile osuvele wenziwa yizinkampani ngazinye, izinhlangano zezimboni, izinhlangano zamazinga kanye nama-NGO, futhi - njengasohlelweni lwethu lokuthola usizo olunomthwalo wemfanelo - sikholelwa ukuthi kubalulekile ukusebenza. ngokubambisana ukuze uqhubeke uvumela lowo msebenzi. Siyavuma futhi ukuthi kunemibono ehlukene mayelana nendlela yokuphatha ngqo ukuguqukela esimweni somnotho esinekhabhoni ephansi, yingakho sizibophezele ekuhlinzekeni ngezinhlobonhlobo zamathuluzi namasevisi ukuze kube lula izindlela ezihlukene - kuyilapho sigcina ukukhetha.”

Izinhlelo ezihlongozwayo ze-LMEpassport kanye nenkundla yezindawo - ezingaphansi kwempendulo yemakethe - kulindeleke ukuthi yethulwe engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2021.

Isikhathi sokuxoxisana ngemakethe, esivala ngomhla zingama-24 kuSepthemba 2020, sifuna imibono evela kwabathintekayo nganoma yisiphi isici sephepha.
