This project, a collaboration between NewAfrica Bioenergy (NAB), NewAfrica Clean Energy (NACE), and Merensky Timber (Merensky), a part of Hans Merensky Group (HMG), will produce a bankable feasibility study for the Weza 10MWe CHP, producing electricity and steam for industrial and rural use and the Ugu District municipality. The project will produce energy for productive use and facilitate energy efficiency improvements in rural communities where economic activity is predominantly linked to agriculture and forestry. Moreover, the project will demonstrate the viability of a new business model to provide sustainable, low-cost bioenergy.Based on the latest IEA report, biomass holds the potential to fulfil 57% of Africa's energy demand by 2035\. However, despite the enormous biomass energy potential, only 0.58% of power in Africa is generated using biomass. There is an absence of competent institutions with strong mandates and long-term oriented action plans. Institutes, agencies and stakeholders who work on the development of biomass energy show poor inter-institutional coordination. Progress in the production of biomass energy is limited by this lack of collaboration, coordination, and delays. Owing to weak coordination, the delay in implementing policies has limited investors' interest in investing in this field.The successful implementation of this Project will catalyse NAB as Africa's leading bioenergy project developer and financier. This project will be a key step in NAB's effort to establish low-cost, medium-sized, and standardised projects with other agribusinesses across Africa. The combination of technical know-how and finance within the group will establish a new business model to promote renewable energy across the continent.We will provide a bankable feasibility assessment for a 10MWe CHP bioenergy plant at Merensky's Weza sawmill and FSC-certified forests. 1/4th of the electricity will go to Merensky and 3/4th to Ugu district municipality and C&I off-takers, enhancing energy availability and affordability. The Project will fulfil the Energy Trilemma by employing renewable energy to enhance energy availability and affordability in Ugu.The consortium will ensure at least 40% female representation in project implementation. NewAfrica Bioenergy is an integrated developer of bioenergy plants in Africa. Its partners founded Africa's largest forestry enterprise outside SA, built wood processing units, and raised $200m for investments in Africa. Our collaborator NACE is a SA developer and investment company. And HMG is the world's 2nd largest avocado grower and distributor, SA's largest sawmiller, and 4th-largest forest owner.

该项目由 NewAfrica Bioenergy (NAB)、NewAfrica Clean Energy (NACE) 和 Hans Merensky Group (HMG) 旗下的 Merensky Timber (Merensky) 合作，将为 Weza 10MWe CHP 进行可融资的可行性研究，为工业和农村以及 Ugu 区市政府生产电力和蒸汽。该项目将生产用于生产用途的能源，并促进经济活动主要与农业和林业相关的农村社区的能源效率提高。此外，该项目将展示提供可持续、低成本生物能源的新商业模式的可行性。根据国际能源署最新报告，到 2035 年，生物质有潜力满足非洲 57% 的能源需求。然而，尽管生物质能源潜力巨大，但非洲只有0.58%的电力是利用生物质发电的。缺乏具有强有力授权和长期行动计划的主管机构。从事生物质能源开发的研究所、机构和利益相关者表现出机构间协调较差。由于缺乏合作、协调和延误，生物质能源生产的进展受到限制。由于协调不力，政策落实迟缓，限制了投资者对该领域的投资兴趣。该项目的成功实施将促进NAB成为非洲领先的生物能源项目开发商和金融家。该项目将是国民银行与非洲其他农业企业共同建立低成本、中型和标准化项目的关键一步。集团内的技术知识和财务相结合，将建立一种新的商业模式，以在整个非洲大陆推广可再生能源。我们将为 Merensky 的 Weza 锯木厂和 FSC 认证森林的 10MWe CHP 生物能源工厂提供可融资的可行性评估。 1/4 的电力将流向 Merensky，3/4 流向 Ugu 区市政府和工商业承购商，从而提高能源可用性和负担能力。该项目将通过采用可再生能源来提高 Ugu 的能源可用性和负担能力来解决能源难题。该联盟将确保项目实施中至少 40% 的女性代表。 NewAfrica Bioenergy 是非洲生物能源工厂的综合开发商。其合作伙伴在南非以外成立了非洲最大的林业企业，建立了木材加工工厂，并筹集了 2 亿美元用于非洲投资。我们的合作者 NACE 是一家 SA 开发商和投资公司。 HMG 是世界第二大鳄梨种植商和分销商、南澳最大的锯木厂和第四大森林所有者。
