Impi ye-Apple yokwehlisa indawo ezungezile ayipheli ngokusetshenziswa kwamandla aluhlaza ayi-100% kuzo zonke izikhungo zayo, noma ngabe zikude kangakanani noma zishoda ngengqalasizinda yokuhlinzeka ngamandla ahlanzekile.
Enye yezindlela lapho inkampani icwiliswe khona yi ukukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium ngendlela esimeme kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Ngale ndlela, iphakamise ukuthi kudalwe ibhizinisi elihlanganyelwe ukuze ukuthengisa ubuchwepheshe obunamalungelo obunikazi obuqeda ukukhishwa kwegesi okushisa okuqondile, ngenqubo esetshenziswayo ngalesi sikhathi.
I-Apple ibambe iqhaza ngokuphelele kule phrojekthi. Ngenxa yalokhu bakhile Ukuhlanganyela phakathi kwabaphakeli be-Apple i-Alcoa Corporation neRio Tinto Aluminium, eyaziwa nge-Elysis. Ezingeni lezimboni, inhloso yenkampani ukuthuthukisa inqubo yokukhiqiza i-aluminium ekhipha umoya-mpilo esikhundleni samagesi abamba ukushisa.
U-Elysis, njenganoma iyiphi inkampani enkulu, ubhekene nenselelo yokufinyelela le njongo ngo-2014.
ukukhiqizwa okukhulu nokumaketha, nephakeji elihlelelwe ukuthengiswa, kusukela ngo-2024
I-Apple ayigcinanga ngokubeka abadlali ababili abakhulu embonini ukuze bafeze iphrojekthi ye-R & D. I-Apple ifaka isandla ekutshalweni kwemali eyizigidi ezingama-144 kule femu, esekelwa ohulumeni baseCanada naseQuebec.
Iphrojekthi yazalwa eminyakeni emithathu eyedlule, lapho Abakwa-Apple bathume onjiniyela indlela eluhlaza kunazo zonke yokukhiqiza i-aluminium. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Alcoa Corporation ikhiqiza i-aluminium ngenhloso yokuqeda amagesi abamba ukushisa. Esikhundleni salokho, babona ukuthi i-Alcoa ngeke ikwazi ukumboza umkhiqizo kuwo wonke umhlaba.
Ngalowo mzuzu wafika endaweni yesehlakalo I-Rio Tinto Aluminium, enobukhona bomhlaba wonke kanye nesipiliyoni kusisekelo, ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe obusha, ukuthengisa futhi-ke, ukumaketha komhlaba jikelele.
Yize kunohlelo lomsebenzi olucacile, i-Apple ifuna ukuqhubeka nokukhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe.
I-Apple izoqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngosizo lobuchwepheshe. Ubuchwepheshe obulinde ilungelo lobunikazi sebusetshenziswa vele e-Alcoa's Technical Center ngaphandle kwasePittsburgh, kanti le phrojekthi izotshala imali engaphezu kwezigidi ezingama- $ 30 e-United States.
