Date: Jun 21, 2022 | Process Energy and Environmental Technology Station (PEETS)

The South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) commissioned the University of Johannesburg’s Process, Energy and Environmental Technology Station (UJ PEETS) to take stock of the current status of micro-digesters and the wider state of the skill in South Africa and globally.

UJ PEETS, together with the DSI/NRF/Newton Fund Trilateral Research Chair in Transformative Innovation, the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Sustainable Development (UJ-TRCTI), conducted research over the period of two years, with significant levels of stakeholder engagement that has culminated in the development of a Sector Development Plan (SDP).

The SDP outlines three major pathways that the micro-digester sector in South Africa can take to ensure growth and sustainability of the sector by 2030.
