1 SANEDI Energy: Fossil Fuels and Solar Potential in South Africa Dr (Prof) Tony Surridge Senior Manager: Advanced Fossil Fuels Programme 20 August 2014

2 South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI)

3 SANEDI function and mandate The Energy Act, 2008 (No.34 of 2008) establishes the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) SANEDI has 2 main functions: Energy research and technology development Energy efficiency measures implementation SANEDI may be viewed as the merger of SANERI and NEEA SANEDI strives to bridge the gap between R&D and demonstration & implementation A combination of state, donor and private sector funding would allow for key projects to be accelerated, leading to faster deployment and more employment and local manufacturing opportunities

4 SANEDI project involvement Prefeasibility Feasibility Detailed design Demo/Pilot Commercial SANEDI SANEDI/Private sector SANEDI/State owned entity/private Sector

5 SANEDI structure Predominantly nongrid; energy for poverty RE Research and Demo Centre Wind Atlas; Solar (PV&CSP); BioEn; Ocean Working for Energy EE Research and Demo Centre Starting up with energy data management and smart grids Centre for Energy Systems Analysis & Research SANEDI Management Green Transport Research and Demo Centre National Targets; Monitoring & Verification Carbon Capture and Storage; Clean Coal Technologies; Oil & Gas Fossil Fuels, CCS Research and Demo Centre LPG, CNG & Electric Vehicles

8 Renewable energy and the Global/South African landscape

9 Context SA primary energy needs met ~90% by fossil fuels - ~75% by coal SA among highest emitters of carbon dioxide in the world: SA ranked 12 th in the world in terms of top emitters per capita Global renewable power generating capacity Total renewable power capacity worldwide exceeded 1470GW (26%) by end 2012 (Ren21 GSR, 2013) Supplied 21.7% of global electricity demand by end 2012 (Ren21 GSR, 2013) SA RE plans supported by REIPPP [Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme]

10 Overall REIPPP Summary Technology MW allocation in bidding window 1 MW allocation in bidding window 2 MW allocation in bidding window 3 Onshore Wind ,5 787 Solar PV CSP Small Hydro 0 14,3 0 Lanfill gass Biomass Biogas Total Taken from DOE and Eskom sources

11 Context Urgent need: Reduce fossil fuel dependency Reduce carbon footprint Diversify energy mix and supply Possible solution??? Renewable Energy (RE) resources abundant, sustainable, can be quickly implemented, offer work opportunities and have a much lower impact on the environment

12 Drivers Increasing energy equity, reducing poverty and using energy for job creation Climate Change Global warming CO 2 emissions Energy supply diversification Imbalance of reserves Energy security

13 Renewable Energy Resources

14 Renewable Energy Sources Biomass Solar Wind Ocean Natural resources Naturally replenished

16 South African Solar resource php?pid=18&action=contpic&nwidth=500

17 With such a good Solar Resource why not Hybridise the Solar and Fossil Fuel energy sectors?

18 RECORD

19 RECORD work packages Coordinate Renewable Energy Research Facilitate RE research & collaboration Contribute to RE skills development Marketing and awareness creation of RECORD and RE in SA & Support RE business development

20 Current collaborative Projects Solar Roadmap (collaboration DOE, SANEDI, DST,GIZ and IEA) Mapping solar technologies and the way in which they fit in SA s long term energy plan Done in parallel with the DST solar technology study and the DOE IRP Solar measuring station project (collaboration GIZ, SANEDI, DST,SU, NMMU, SAWS, USTDA, Eskom) Construction of solar MET stations in specific locaions in SA Ultimate goal to produced averified ground measurement solar map of the resource available in SA Renewable Energy Testing, Training and Demo Facilities (collaboration SANEDI, GIZ, CSIR, TIA, Green Cape, CPUT,SU, NMMU) Centre for Solar Technology, Development and Innovation (CSTDI) spread across country at centres of excellence SouthAfrican Renewable Energy Technology Centre (SARETEC) at CPUT Centre for Energy Research (CER) at NMMU PV testing and research facility
