UNSOLICITED BID ON WASTE TO ENERGY PROJECT

EXTENSION ON PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD

Prince Albert Municipality received an unsolicited bid in terms of Section 113 of the Municipal Finance Management Act, 2005 and Section 37 of the Municipality’s Supply Chain Policy from Reuse Technologies South Africa to divert biomass from landfill through the manufacturing of renewable fuels and energy.  

The project is innovative and aims to diversify energy production, while at the same time decreasing landfill use, and increasing revenue and employment.  Reuse Technologies SA proposes to build a new waste to energy process plant located in Leeu Gamka.  During phase 1 the project aims to rehabilitate the existing landfill site in Leeu Gamka by establishing a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).  During phase 2 the MRF will be upgraded.  Approximately 500 job opportunities is envisioned during phases 1 and 2.  The facility propose to use treated waste water in their operations.  The proposed Reuse Technology SA Biomass Conversion Facility will use saccharides as the intermediate or platform chemical to make a variety of renewable fuels.  The proposed project is carbon neutral and thus able to attract carbon credits from the UN in terms of the Kyota Protocol and Paris agreement.  The proposed project requires the availing of 5 hectares of land in Leeu Gamka by Prince Albert Municipality, with a possibility of establishing a partnership between Reuse Technologies South Africa, the Prince Albert Municipality and the community.

The proposed project is aligned to the Municipality’s strategic IDP objective to minimize waste, better manage landfill sites and create job opportunities in the poverty pocket area of Leeu Gamka.
