I-Speira Germany ithe ngoSepthemba 7 izokwehlisa ukukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium embonini yayo i-Rheinwerk ngamaphesenti angu-50 kusukela ngo-Okthoba ngenxa yamanani aphezulu kagesi.

Izincibilikisi zase-Europe zilinganiselwa ukuthi zinciphise amathani angama-800,000 kuya ku-900,000/ngonyaka wokuphuma kwe-aluminium kusukela amanani amandla aqala ukukhuphuka ngonyaka odlule. Amanye amathani angama-750,000 okukhiqiza angase anqanyulwe ebusika obuzayo, okungasho igebe elikhulu ekuhlinzekweni kwe-aluminium yase-Europe kanye namanani aphezulu.

Imboni yokuncibilikisa i-aluminium iyimboni esebenzisa amandla amaningi. Amanani kagesi e-Europe anyuke kakhulu ngemva kokuba iRussia inqamule ukunikezwa kwegesi eYurophu, okusho ukuthi izincibilikisi eziningi zisebenza ngezindleko eziphakeme kunezintengo zemakethe.

U-Speira uthe ngoLwesithathu uzokwehlisa ukukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium okuyisisekelo kube amathani angama-70,000 ngonyaka esikhathini esizayo njengoba ukukhuphuka kwamanani kagesi eJalimane kuyenza ibhekane nezinselelo ezifana nezabanye abaningi base-Europe abancibilikisa i-aluminium.

Izintengo zamandla zifinyelele emazingeni aphezulu kakhulu ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule futhi akulindelekile ukuthi zehle noma nini maduze.

Ukuncishiswa kokukhiqizwa kwe-Speira kuzoqala ekuqaleni kuka-Okthoba futhi kulindeleke ukuthi kuqedwe ngoNovemba.

Le nkampani ithe ayinazo izinhlelo zokuphoqa ukuthi kudilizwe futhi izothatha indawo yokukhiqizwa okusikiwe ifake izinto zensimbi zangaphandle.

I-Eurometaux, inhlangano yezimboni zensimbi yaseYurophu, ilinganisela ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium yaseShayina kunamandla aphindwe ka-2.8 kune-aluminium yaseYurophu. I-Eurometaux ilinganisela ukuthi esikhundleni se-aluminium engenisiwe e-Europe yengeze amathani ayizigidi eziyisi-6-12 e-carbon dioxide kulo nyaka.
