Irhasi yeshaleluhlobo lwerhasi yendalo etsalwa kulwakhiwo lweshale nzulu kumphezulu woMhlaba. Nangona kunjalo, phambi kokuba irhasi ye-shale isetyenziswe njengomthombo wamandla, kufuneka icocwe ukuze kususwe ukungcola kunye nezinto ezingcolisayo.

Ukucoca igesi ye-Shale yinkqubo enzima ebandakanya izigaba ezininzi zonyango kunye nokucoca. Izinto ezingcolisayo eziphambili ekufuneka zisuswe kwirhasi ye-shale ziquka umphunga wamanzi, i-carbon dioxide, i-hydrogen sulfide kunye nezinye izinto ezingcolileyo ezinokonakalisa izixhobo kunye nokunciphisa umgangatho wegesi.

Enye yeendlela eziqhelekileyo zokucoca igesi ye-shale kukusetyenziswa kwezinyibilikisi ze-amine. Inkqubo ibandakanya ukudlula irhasi ye-shale nge-scrubber system, apho idibana nesisombululo se-amine engamanzi. Isisombululo se-amine sithatha ukungcola kunye nokungcola, sivumela igesi ecocekileyo ye-shale ukuba idlule kwinkqubo.

Enye indlela yokucoca irhasi ye-shale kukusebenzisa iteknoloji ye-membrane. Inkqubo ibandakanya ukugqithiswa kwerhasi ye-shale kuthotho lweenwebu ezikhethekileyo ezihluza ukungcola kunye nezingcolisi, zishiya ngasemva umjelo werhasi ecociweyo.

Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela esetyenzisiweyo, ukucocwa kwerhasi ye-shale linyathelo elibalulekileyo ekuvelisweni kwegesi yendalo ecocekileyo nesebenzisekayo.Irhasi ye-shale ecocekileyoingasetyenziswa kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zezicelo, kubandakanywa ukufudumeza amakhaya kunye namashishini, izithuthi ezinamandla kunye nokuvelisa umbane.

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba ukucocwa kwerhasi ye-shale kunokuba yinkqubo enzima kwaye ibiza kakhulu kwaye idinga izixhobo ezikhethekileyo kunye nobuchule. Ngoko ke, kubalulekile ukusebenzisana nenkampani ehloniphekileyo nenamava yokucoca igesi ye-shale ukuqinisekisa ukuba inkqubo yenziwa ngokukhuselekileyo nangempumelelo.

Ukongeza kokubaluleka kwayo kwimveliso yamandla, ukucocwa kwerhasi ye-shale nako kuneenzuzo zokusingqongileyo. Ngokususa ukungcola kunye nongcoliseko kwirhasi ye-shale, inkqubo inceda ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kweegesi ze-greenhouse kunye nezinye izinto ezingcolisayo ezinokulimaza indalo.

Kukwakho neenzame eziqhubekayo zokuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle nokusebenza kakuhle kweendlela zokucoca irhasi ephuma ematyeni, kuquka uphuhliso lobuchwepheshe obutsha kunye nokwandisa iinkqubo ezikhoyo. Ezi nkqubela zinceda ukunciphisa iindleko, ukwandisa ukusebenza kakuhle kunye nokunciphisa impembelelo yokusingqongileyo yokuveliswa kwegesi ye-shale.

Nangona kunjalo, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba ukucocwa kwegesi ye-shale akukho mpikiswano. Abanye abagxeki bathi le nkqubo ingaba neempembelelo ezimbi zokusingqongileyo, kubandakanywa ukukhutshwa kwegesi yemethane kunye nokubanakho ukungcoliseka kwamanzi.

Njengalo naluphi na uhlobo lwemveliso yamandla, kubalulekile ukulinganisa iingenelo kunye neengozi ezinokubakho zokucocwa kwerhasi ye-shale, ukubeka phambili ukhuseleko kunye nokukhuselwa kokusingqongileyo kwinkqubo. Ngokubambisana neenkampani zokucoca ezinamava nezinoxanduva, nangokuqhubeka kutyalo-mali kuphando nophuhliso, sinokuqinisekisa ukubairhasi yeshaleihlala ingumthombo wamandla okhuselekileyo nothembekileyo kwiminyaka ezayo.

Ukuqukumbela, ukucocwa kwerhasi ye-shale yinkqubo ebalulekileyo yokuqinisekisa ukuba irhasi yendalo ekhutshwe kwi-shale formations iyasebenziseka kwaye ikhuselekile kwiinkqubo ezahlukeneyo. Ngokususa ukungcola kunye nokungcola, inkqubo inceda ukuphucula umgangatho wegesi, ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kunye nokukhuthaza ukuzinza kwendalo. Ngaloo ndlela, iyindawo ebalulekileyo ye.uphando kunye nophuhliso olufuna iinzame eziqhubekayo zokwandisa impumelelo kunye nokusebenza ngelixa kuncitshiswa impembelelo yokusingqongileyo.
