ukugaya ikhonkrithi

I-Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) i-Cimentos iqinisekiswe kule veki njengomthengi ekuvunyelweneyo weshishini lesamente lase-Holcim laseBrazil elinexabiso lentengiselwano le-US$1.03 yebhiliyoni. Le ntengiselwano ibandakanya iiplanti zesamente ezihlanu ezidityanisiweyo, iiplanti zokugaya ezine kunye nezixhobo ezili-19 ezisele zixutyiwe. Ngokumalunga nomthamo wemveliso, i-CSN ngoku ilindeleke ukuba ibe ngumvelisi wesithathu omkhulu wesamente eBrazil, okwesibini kuphela kwiVotorantim kunye ne-InterCement. Okanye, ukuba uyawakholelwa amabango akhohlakeleyo e-CSN malunga nokhuphisana nokungenzi nto, ukwindawo yesibini!
Umzobo 1: Imephu yesityalo sesamente esibandakanyiweyo kwiCSN Cimentos ekufumaneni impahla yaseBrazil yaseLafargeHolcim. Umthombo: iwebhusayithi ye-CSN yoBudlelwane boMtyali-mali.
I-CSN yaqala ngemveliso yentsimbi, kwaye iseyinxalenye enkulu yeshishini layo ukuza kuthi ga namhlanje. Ngo-2020, yaxela ingeniso ye-5.74 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zaseMelika. Malunga ne-55% isuka kushishino lwentsimbi, i-42% isuka kushishino lwemigodi, i-5% iphuma kushishino lolungiselelo, kunye ne-3% kuphela kwishishini layo lesamente. Uphuhliso lwe-CSN kushishino lwesamente lwaqala ngo-2009 xa lwaluqala ukucola i-blast furnace slag kunye ne-clinker kwiplanti ye-President Vargas eVolta Redonda, eRio de Janeiro. Emva koko, inkampani yaqala imveliso yeclinker ngo-2011 kwindawo yayo edibeneyo yeArcos eMinas Gerais. Kwiminyaka elishumi ezayo, izinto ezininzi zenzeke kuluntu ubuncinane, kuba ilizwe lijongene nokudodobala koqoqosho kunye nokuthengiswa kwesamente kazwelonke kwawela kwindawo ephantsi ngo-2017. iiprojekthi zefektri kwenye indawo. I-Brazil, ngokuxhomekeke ekukhuleni kwemarike kunye nokunikezelwa koluntu lokuqala olulindelekileyo (IPO). Oku kuquka iifektri eCeara, eSergipe, ePara naseParana, kunye nokwandiswa kweefektri esele zikho kumzantsi-mpuma. Emva koko, i-CSN Cimentos yavuma ukufumana uCimento Elizabeth nge-USD 220 yezigidi ngoJulayi ka-2021.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba ukufunyanwa kweHolcim kusafuna imvume yegunya lokhuphiswano lendawo. Umzekelo, umzi-mveliso waseCimento Elizabeth kunye nomzi-mveliso waseHolcim waseCaaporã zombini zikwisimo saseParaíba, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-30 ukusuka kwenye. Ukuba kuvunyiwe, oku kuya kwenza ukuba i-CSN Cimentos ibe nezityalo ezimbini zombuso ezine ezidibeneyo, kunye nezinye ezimbini ziqhutywa yiVotorantim kunye ne-InterCement. I-CSN ikwalungiselela ukufumana iifektri ezine ezidityanisiweyo eMinas Gerais ukusuka eHolcim ukonyusa le ikhoyo ngoku. Nangona ngenxa yenani elikhulu lezityalo kurhulumente, oku akubonakali ukufumana ingqalelo kakhulu.
U-Holcim wakwenza kwacaca ukuba ukuchithwa eBrazil yinxalenye yesicwangciso sayo sokugxila kwizisombululo zokwakha ezizinzileyo. Emva kokugqiba ukufunyanwa kweFirestone ekuqaleni kuka-2021, imali efunyenweyo iya kusetyenziselwa izisombululo zayo kunye namashishini emveliso. Ikwachazile ukuba ifuna ukugxila kwiimarike ezingundoqo ezinamathemba exesha elide. Kule meko, uphuhliso oluhlukeneyo lwesamente ngabavelisi abakhulu bentsimbi njenge-CSN luhluke kakhulu. Omabini amashishini ngamashishini akhupha ikharbon diokside ephezulu, ngoko ke iCSN ayizukuhlala kude nemizi-mveliso enekhabhoni. Nangona kunjalo, ngokusebenzisa i-slag kwimveliso yesamente, ezi zimbini zineentsebenziswano malunga nokusebenza, uqoqosho kunye nokuzinza. Oku kwakhokelela ukuba i-CSN Cimentos idibane neVotorantim yaseBrazil kunye ne-India ye-JSW Cement, ekwavelisa i-samente. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba yintoni enye eyenzekayo kwiNkomfa ye-26 yeZizwe eziManyeneyo yoTshintsho lweMozulu (COP26) ngoNovemba ka-2021, kubonakala kungenakwenzeka ukuba imfuno yehlabathi yentsimbi okanye i-samente iya kuncipha kakhulu. I-CSN Cimentos ngoku iya kuqalisa kwakhona isitokhwe sayo se-IPO ukunyusa imali yokufunyanwa kweHolcim.
Ukufumana konke malunga nexesha. I-CSN Cimentos-Holcim transaction ilandela ukufunyanwa kwe-CRH Brazil yi-Buzzi Unicem's Companhia Nacional de Cimento (CNC) i-joint venture ekuqaleni kuka-2021. Njengoko kukhankanyiwe ngasentla, imarike yesamente yaseBrazil iqhube kakuhle ukususela oko yaqala ukubuyisela ngo-2018. Amazwe, ngenxa yamanyathelo okutshixa abuthathaka, ubhubhani we-coronavirus awukayithothisi le meko. Ngokwedatha yamva nje evela kuMbutho weSizwe woShishino lweSamente (SNIC) ngo-Agasti ka-2021, ukukhula kwentengiso yangoku kunokuba buthathaka ngokuthe ngcembe. Ukususela phakathi kwe-2019, inani elipheleleyo lonyaka liye lanyuka, kodwa laqala ukucotha ngoMeyi 2021. Ngokutsho kwedatha kude kube ngoku kulo nyaka, ukuthengiswa kwe-2021 kuya kwanda, kodwa emva koko, ngubani owaziyo? Uxwebhu lwe-CSN Investor Day ngoDisemba 2020 luqikelela ukuba, njengoko kulindelekile, ngokusekelwe kuqikelelo loqoqosho ngokubanzi, ukusetyenziswa kwesamente yaseBrazil kuya kukhula ngokuthe ngcembe kude kube ngu-2025. Nangona kunjalo, iinkxalabo malunga nokunyuka kwamaxabiso, ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kunye nokungaqiniseki kwezopolitiko ngaphambi konyulo oluzayo. ukuphela kuka-2022 kunokujongela phantsi oku. Umzekelo, i-InterCement irhoxise i-IPO yayo ecetywayo ngoJulayi ka-2021 ngenxa yoqingqo-maxabiso oluphantsi ngenxa yokungaqiniseki komtyali-mali. I-CSN Cimentos inokuhlangabezana neengxaki ezifanayo kwi-IPO yayo ecwangcisiweyo okanye ijongane nomgangatho ogqithisileyo xa uhlawula iLafargeHolcim Brazil. Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, i-CSN yagqiba ekubeni ithathe umngcipheko endleleni ukuze ibe ngumvelisi wesithathu omkhulu wesamente eBrazil.
