Innovative ways of generating energy and investment are critically needed in South Africa in order to industrialise and create jobs.
That was the message from Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Rob Davies, at the opening of a R150- million Eternity Power Thermal Harvesting plant in Rustenburg yesterday.
The plant is the first of its kind and uses waste heat from the converter cooling circuit at the Anglo American Platinum Waterval Smelter, according to the Department of Trade and Industry (dti). The development is collaboration between Vuselela Energy and Anglo American Platinum.
The dti committed R30 million through the Critical Infrastructure Programme, which supports infrastructure that is critical to investment.
