Become a solution to the waste problem in South Africa.

Become a solution to the waste problem in SA.

Introduction:

• The waste problem in SA is growing at a rate that is higher than most other countries, where SA ranks 39^th on the waste management chart, and SA landfill space is 97% full at present, and will shortly be up to 100%.
• At this stage 108 million tons of wastage is dumped every year, the result of which is various negative results on the environment.
• Concurrently, the dependency on fossil fuels necessitates the exploration of sustainable alternatives.
• What is waste to energy? It’s the process that converts waste materials into usable forms of energy such as electricity, heat or fuel.
• Waste to energy with plasma gasification technology, offers a viable solution by efficiently converting diverse waste streams into valuable synthetic gas and other useful by-products such as diesel, aviation fuel, LP gas, hydrogen and ammonia.
• This solution will help to generate the SME business development and much needed creation of jobs.
• What is plasma gasification? It’s a new type of waste to energy technology, using plasma arc technology by means of a two stage process i.e. converting waste into a gas and then the conversion of that gas into energy outputs.
• There is a huge opportunity for investors to become part of the said waste problem by setting up waste to energy plants. The estimated costs are as follows:

Options:          Estimated costs

• A 25 ton plant processes 25 tons of waste per day, R211 million.
• Other options are 50/75/100 tons per day up to R537 million.
