The Project Main Goals A highly scalable social impact green project, from 100% renewable source The implementation of cleaning sewerage water using the energy in the water and saving 14 % of the water losses in current systems The creation of >69,000 jobs at full implementation The use of its waste to create electricity and promote an industry to get rid of polluting waste dumps and Municipal Solid Waste The start of a sustainable manufacturing hub of energy generating equipment The supply of extremely clean methane gas that can be used in the transport industry – trains – busses and cars as well as industry The capture and use of CO2 Encouragement of intensive farming 2
SCOPE – the New IRP 2018 Proposal is saying No to this The main deliverables of the project is set in 3 phase. Phase 1 ESC the Group company will fund the production of gas from waste and biomass. This investment will exceed US$850,000,000.00 25% of this value is offered to its BBBEE Partners This phase will also include several social development projects in the field of hydroponics with an initial budget of R20,000,000.00 Phase 2 is the funding of a power generation facility of 1 Gigawatt based on an off take order from the department of energy , for the benefit of its BBBEE partners who will be the major share holders $ 1,100,000,000.00 Phase 3 is the funding of the power generation facility of 3 Gigawatt using deep subterrian coal for the benefit of its BBBEE partners who will be the major share holders $ 3,500,000,000.00 3
Issue Statement The proposed IRP 2018 Page 74 and 75 restricts private enterprise from generating more than 10 Mw for self use without growing via a 3 rd party which increases the cost for no gain. The Heidelberg project needs to generate 350 Mw for self use in Phase 1 and has the capacity to supply others process near with 500 Mw which can grow to 1,3 Gw. The proposed IRP 2018, does little to encourage a green clean gas industry badly needed by logistic companies and industrialist for manufacturing processes. The proposed IRP-2018 puts the use of fossil fuel (coal) as a priority. ESC has no problem with that, as long as it is subject to Carbon Capture technology and Carbon Taxation from the start. And states clearly to the public before it starts, the monthly water usage which will be extremely high. ( a typical 500 Mw plants will use 4,698,000,000,000 (4,7 trillion) litres per year equivalent to 64,5 million people home usage per year) Ref# https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Water_consumption_from_coal_plants The IRP does little to encourage South Africa to manufacture its own sustainable power generation equipment and prefers to import major equipment creating jobs in other countries. Plant Closure :- According to the Lesedi MM , the Town of Heidelberg needs this project as the British American Tobacco Heidelberg plant employs 1 100 people and produces more than 27 billion cigarettes a year will more than likely close . And the “Nock on Effect” is it would threaten business and indirectly related jobs in the towns of Heidelberg and Ratanda, income for the Lesedi Municipality, about 430 suppliers to the Heidelberg factory and 90 farms and 8 000 farm workers where tobacco is grown 4
The Proposed IRP 2018 will kill the project Without being allowed to cost effectively generate power from our waste and use it for productions needs as well as sell the balance to willing buyers the project cannot go ahead. ESC Recommendations If government is truly interested in creating jobs and driving the economy , they should simply open up the market and no limits should be imposed on renewable energy generation . And a fair asset recovery fee charged on distribution. This would encourage Foreign D irect Investment in manufacturing hubs with 1000’s of jobs being created. Government should sell off its aging power station fleet to private enterprise on the bases that the polluting plants are closed, but the licence is transferred to renewable energy in a micro format. So that power/energy can be generated closer to the needs. Coal could then be exported at double the revenue that Eskom offers. Further the Government should level the playing fields by insuring all power/energy generation if not renewable at the very least employs Carbon clean up technology. 5
Besides 69,000 jobs Why the Heidelberg project must be allowed to go ahead . The Heidelberg project uses its waste to generate power. Power is needed for the compression and refrigeration of its gasses and powering the plasma torches and balance of plant . The Heidelberg project can be scaled up and down and used for the effective replacement of sewerage farms which are currently polluting our waters. Moreover they become profit centres to the municipalities instead of costing millions to run. Our Technology saves 14 % of all sewerage farm water. No Chemicals are used in the process. The Heidelberg Technology can safely and profitably get rid of waste dumps and new Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). This is a huge dilemma for Johannesburg. If not solved waste collection fees will treble in 5 years. The Heidelberg facility can be used to obliterate medical and hazardous waste at temperatures > 3000 degrees C and is highly competitive as it make excellent syngas. The Heidelberg methane gas is 97% pure and unlike Sasol Gas (89%) has no Butane which destroys vehicle and locomotive engines The Mozambique gas project is still many years away and will be of the most expensive gas in the world. 6
