SOUTH AFRICA'S CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM PROJECTS PORTFOLIO To date, there are 360 CDM projects submitted to the DNA – 220 Project Idea Notes (PINs) and 140 Project Design Documents (PDDs). Out of 140 PDDs, 90 have been registered (35 Programme of Activities) by the CDM Executive Board as CDM projects (15 Issued with CER’s), and 48 are at different stages of the project cycle – DNA approval, validation stage and/or request for review. The projects submitted to the DNA for initial review and approval cover the following types, bio-fuels, energy efficiency, waste management, cogeneration, fuel switching and hydro-power, and cover sectors like manufacturing, mining, agriculture, energy, waste management, housing, transport and residential. The table below is a consolidated list of projects at PDD and PIN stages.

    Energy and Water

    ENERGY AND WATER 137 Pocket Guide to South Africa 2011/12 ENERGY AND WATER Energy use in South Africa is characterised by a high level of dependence on cheap and abundantly available coal. South Africa imports a large amount of crude oil. A limited quantity of natural gas is also available. The Department of Energy’s Energy Policy is based on the following key objectives: • ensuring energy security • achieving universal access and transforming the energy sector • regulating the energy sector • effective and efficient service delivery • optimal use of energy resources • ensuring sustainable development • promoting corporate governance. Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) The IRP lays the foundation for the country’s energy mix up to 2030, and seeks to find an appropriate balance between the expectations of different stakeholders considering a number of key constraints and risks, including: • reducing carbon emissions • new technology uncertainties such as costs, operability and lead time to build • water usage • localisation and job creation • southern African regional development and integration • security of supply. The IRP provides for a diversified energy mix, in terms of new generation capacity, that will comprise: • coal at 14% (government’s view is that there is a future for coal in the energy mix, and that it should continue research and development to find ways to clean the country’s abundant coal resources) • nuclear at 22,6% • open-cycle gas turbine at 9,2% and closed-cycle gas turbine at 5,6% • renewable energy carriers, which include hydro at 6,1%, wind at 19,7%, concentrated solar power at 2,4% and photovoltaic at 19,7%.

    THRIP Annual Report 20152016.Pdf

    The International Year of Pulses The International Year of Pulses 2016 aims to heighten public awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production aimed towards food security and nutrition. The Year will create a unique opportunity to encourage connections throughout the food chain that would better utilize pulse-based proteins, further global production of pulses, better utilize crop rotations and address the challenges in the trade of pulses. PULSES CONTRIBUTE TO FOOD SECURITY Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Food insecurity is a major issue for many people and households in poor and developing countries — it is estimated that 795 million people are undernourished. Pulses can help contribute to food security in a number of ways.

    2. DESCRIPTION of the PROPOSED PROJECT In

    Environmental Scoping Report for the proposed establishment of a New Coal-Fired Power Station in the Lephalale Area, Limpopo Province 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT In order to be able to adequately provide for the growing electricity demand, Eskom propose to construct a new power station with a maximum capacity of 4 800 MegaWatts (MW) in the Lephalale area in the vicinity of the existing Matimba Power Station. Currently the project name for the new proposed power station is Matimba B, but the name will be changed should the project be approved. The power station will be coal-fired, and source coal from local coalfields. 2.1 The Proposed Matimba B Power Station Matimba B Power Station is proposed to ultimately have a maximum installed capacity of up to 4800 MW, but the first phase to be constructed and operated will be approximately half that installed capacity. The exact output will depend on the specification of the equipment installed and the ambient operating conditions. The footprint of the proposed new power station is still to be determined through final engineering and design, but has been indicated by Eskom that the new facility will be similar in size (ground footprint) to the existing Matimba Power Station. The power plant and associated plant (terrace area) would require an area of approximately 700 ha, and an additional approximate 500 - 1000 ha would be required for ancillary services, including ashing facilities (alternate ash disposal options are, however, currently being investigated). It is envisaged that the proposed power station will utilise a range of technologies pertaining to cooling, combustion and pollution abatement.

Description of project activity A.1. Purpose and general description of project activity The purpose of the TWE Golden Valley Wind Power Project is the construction of a 147.6 MW wind power plant in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The wind park will consist of 82 Vestas V100-1.8 MW turbines. It is estimated that the project activity will supply 509,303 MWh of clean electricity to the South African national electricity grid per year resulting in a net load factor of 39.39%. The project activity is the installation of a new grid-connected renewable power plant. Therefore, according to ACM0002 (version 13.0.0), the baseline scenario is: “Electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources, as reflected in the combined margin (CM) calculations described in the “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system” The baseline scenario is the same as the scenario existing prior to the start of the implementation of the project activity.

(Golder) was retained by the Clean Air Strategic Alliance (CASA) to conduct a literature review on the public health and ecological effects of substances known to be emitted into the air from electricity generation using various resource types (e.g., coal, biomass, fuel oil, waste) from power plants (not limited to stack emissions). The objective of the literature review was to identify new information published from 2013 to 2020 to aid the 2018 Five-Year Review of the 2003 Emissions Management Framework for Alberta Electricity Sector. Golder conducted a search of white and grey literature for the literature review. White literature included primary peer-reviewed journal articles while grey literature included literature published by provincial, federal, and international organizations. Relevant articles were scored using the ‘Checklist for assessing the quality of quantitative studies' (herein referred to as the “Checklist”) developed at the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research1.

    Renewable Energy Choices and Their Water Requirements in South Africa

    Journal of Energy in Southern Africa 26(4): 80–92 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2413-3051/2014/v25i4a2241 Renewable energy choices and their water requirements in South Africa Debbie Sparks Amos Madhlopa Samantha Keen Mascha Moorlach Anthony Dane Pieter Krog Thuli Dlamini Energy Research Centre, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa Abstract tive of this study was to investigate and review South Africa is an arid country, where water supply renewable energy choices and water requirements is often obtained from a distant source.

Recently, there have Results show that there is limited data on all aspects been concerns about negative impacts arising from of water usage in the production chain of energy, the exploitation of energy resources. In particular, accounting in part for the significant variations in the burning of fossil fuels is significantly contributing the values of water intensity that are reported in the to climate change through the emission of carbon literature. It is vital to take into account all aspects of dioxide, a major greenhouse gas. In addition, fossil the energy life cycle to enable isolation of stages fuels are being depleted, and contributing to where significant amounts of water are used.
