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.

该项目是新非洲生物能源（NAB）、新非洲清洁能源（NACE）和梅伦斯基木材（Merensky）（汉斯·梅伦斯基集团（HMG）的一部分）之间的合作项目，将为Weza 10MWe热电联产项目（为工业和农村用途以及乌古区市政府生产电力和蒸汽）提供可融资的可行性研究。该项目将生产用于生产的能源，并促进经济活动主要与农业和林业有关的农村社区提高能源效率。此外，该项目将展示一种提供可持续、低成本生物能源的新商业模式的可行性。根据国际能源署的最新报告，到2035年，生物质能有潜力满足非洲57%的能源需求。然而，尽管生物质能潜力巨大，但非洲只有0.58%的电力是利用生物质能产生的。缺乏具有强有力的授权和面向长期的行动计划的主管机构。从事生物质能发展的研究所、机构和利益相关者表现出较差的机构间协调。由于缺乏合作、协调和延误，生物质能生产的进展受到限制。由于协调不力，政策执行迟缓，限制了投资者对这一领域投资的兴趣。该项目的成功实施将推动NAB成为非洲领先的生物能源项目开发商和融资机构。该项目将是NAB与非洲其他农业企业合作建立低成本、中等规模和标准化项目的关键一步。集团内部的技术知识和资金的结合将建立一种新的商业模式，在整个非洲大陆推广可再生能源。我们将为梅伦斯基的Weza锯木厂和fsc认证森林的10MWe热电联产生物能源工厂提供可融资的可行性评估。四分之一的电力将提供给梅伦斯基，四分之三的电力将提供给乌古区市政当局和C&I承购商，从而提高能源的可用性和可负担性。该项目将通过使用可再生能源来提高乌古的能源可获得性和可负担性，从而解决能源三难困境。该联盟将确保在项目实施中至少有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，建立了木材加工厂，并筹集了2亿美元用于在非洲的投资。我们的合作伙伴NACE是一家SA开发和投资公司。HMG是世界第二大鳄梨种植和分销商，南非最大的锯木厂和第四大森林所有者。
