I-India neBrazil zibonisa intshisekelo yokwakha isitshalo sebhethri le-lithium eBolivia

Kubikwa ukuthi i-India neBrazil zinesifiso sokwakha isitshalo sebhethri le-lithium eBolivia, izwe eliphethe izinqolobane ezinkulu kakhulu zensimbi emhlabeni. La mazwe amabili ahlola amathuba okwakha isitshalo ukuze athole ukutholakala okuqhubekayo kwe-lithium, okuyingxenye ebalulekile yamabhethri ezimoto zikagesi.

IBolivia ibilokhu ifuna ukuthuthukisa izinsiza zayo ze-lithium isikhathi esithile manje, futhi lokhu kuthuthukiswa kwamuva kungaba yisikhuthazo esikhulu emizamweni yezwe. Isizwe saseNingizimu Melika sinamathani ayizigidi ezingama-21 ezinqolobane ze-lithium, okungaphezu kwanoma yiliphi elinye izwe emhlabeni. Kodwa-ke, iBolivia iye yephuza ukuthuthukisa izinqolobane zayo ngenxa yokuntuleka kokutshalwa kwezimali kanye nobuchwepheshe.

I-India neBrazil zizimisele ukusebenzisa i-lithium reserves yaseBolivia ukuze zisekele izimboni zazo zezimoto zikagesi ezikhulayo. I-India ihlose ukuthengiswa kwezimoto zikagesi kuphela ngo-2030, kanti iBrazil izibekele umgomo ka-2040. Womabili la mazwe afuna ukuthola ukutholakala okuthembekile kwe-lithium ukuze kusekelwe izinhlelo zawo ezinkulu.

Ngokusho kwemibiko, ohulumeni baseNdiya nabaseBrazil babambe izingxoxo nezikhulu zaseBolivia mayelana nokwenzeka kokwakha isitshalo sebhethri le-lithium ezweni. Lesi sitshalo sizokhiqiza amabhethri ezimoto zikagesi futhi singasiza amazwe amabili ukuthi athole ukutholakala okuqhubekayo kwe-lithium.

Lesi sitshalo esihlongozwayo sizophinde sizuzise iBolivia ngokudala imisebenzi nokukhulisa umnotho wezwe. Uhulumeni waseBolivia ubelokhu efuna ukuthuthukisa izinsiza zakhe ze-lithium isikhathi esithile manje, futhi lokhu kuthuthukiswa kwamuva kungaba umfutho omkhulu kuleyo mizamo.

Kodwa-ke, kusenezithiyo ezithile okudingeka zinqotshwe ngaphambi kokuba lesi sitshalo sibe ngokoqobo. Enye yezinselele ezinkulu ukuthola uxhaso lwephrojekthi. Ukwakha isitshalo sebhethri le-lithium kudinga utshalomali olukhulu, futhi kusazobonakala ukuthi i-India ne-Brazil zizovuma yini ukunikela ngezimali ezidingekayo.

Enye inselele ukuthuthukisa ingqalasizinda edingekayo yokusekela lesi sitshalo. IBolivia okwamanje ayinayo ingqalasizinda edingekayo yokusekela isitshalo esikhulu sebhethri le-lithium, futhi kuzodingeka utshalomali olukhulu ukuthuthukisa lesi sakhiwo.

Naphezu kwalezi zinselele, isitshalo sebhethri se-lithium esihlongozwayo eBolivia sinamandla okushintsha izinto eNdiya naseBrazil. Ngokuthola ukutholakala okuthembekile kwe-lithium, la mazwe amabili angasekela izinhlelo zawo ezinkulu zokusetshenziswa kwezimoto zikagesi ngenkathi futhi ethuthukisa umnotho waseBolivia.

Ekuphetheni, isitshalo sebhethri le-lithium esihlongozwayo eBolivia singaba yisinyathelo esikhulu esiya phambili embonini yezimoto zikagesi yaseNdiya naseBrazil. Ngokusebenzisa imithombo emikhulu ye-lithium yaseBolivia, la mazwe amabili angathola ukutholakala okuthembekile kwalesi sici esibalulekile futhi asekele izinhlelo zawo ezinkulu zokwamukelwa kwezimoto zikagesi. Kodwa-ke, kuzodingeka utshalomali olukhulu ukuze le phrojekthi ibe ngokoqobo, futhi kusazobonakala ukuthi iNdiya neBrazil zizovuma yini ukunikela ngezimali ezidingekayo.
