Bioenergy in South Africa’s Long-Term Power System Planning

Bioenergy could significantly enhance the security of supply in South Africa's transitioning energy landscape. However, despite its potential, bioelectricity is notably underrepresented in long-term power system planning.
Storm Morison at the Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies at Stellenbosch University (www.crses.sun.ac.za) has embarked in a large project that will delve into potential reasons behind this low uptake and explore the untapped potential of bioelectricity in contributing to a more resilient and flexible energy system in South Africa.

What and how much will be incinerated in Waste-to-Energy plants in 2035?

The focus of this work is to assess changes in the amount and key properties of MSW going to WtE as the circular economy unfolds under different circumstances and boundary conditions ("what-if" scenarios). The results are meaningful to identify both challenges and opportunities for future plant operation and planning.
