“The reality of several years of load shedding is dawning on South Africans as the completion of Eskom’s Medupi, Kusile and Ingula power stations are inexorably moved outwards. Even the development of coal-fired power stations by independent power producers will take three to four years once the Department of Energy (DoE) completes its current procurement process. It is planning to procure 600MW of generation capacity in this way.”
“A 2003 study conducted by the University of Cape Town’s Energy and Development Research Centre included data which showed that 39% of South African households had access to electricity in 1992, According to the 2012 General Household Survey, 85.3% of South African households had access to electricity. “This means 14.7% of South African households do not have access to electricity.
According to a study conducted by Deutsch Shell Oil Company, by the year 2020 the Global Energy industry will start to exploit “waste heat energy” as an alternative energy source. Various studies have estimated that as much as 20 to 50% of industrial energy consumption is ultimately discharged as waste heat. There are specific technologies that can capture the heat energy and convert it to electricity.
Electri-Coal Technologies (PTY) LTD is an alternative energy resource company that uses waste heat recovery technologies to generate electricity from conventional heat sources. This means the heat that is released in a fire can be used to generate electricity. The THERMIONIC CONVERSION SYSTEM (heat to electricity system) that we have developed, has the capabilities to generate a significant amount of electrical energy.
