Determining Zambia’s potential for bioethanol production as a motor vehicle fuel to meet climate objectives by 2040.
… transport sector is driven by imported and costly fossil fuels. Apart from the cost element, fossil fuels are finite. The source is depleting as it is being extracted continuously. Fossil fuels are also pollutants to environment. They contribute 70% of global carbon monoxide (CO) and 19% of …

Investigation of the interface shearing resistance of steel and concrete on different rocks for renewable energy gravity foundation applications
Tidal stream energy is a form of marine energy with significant advantages compared to other types of offshore renewables, albeit the levelised cost of energy is relatively high. Various types of foundations have been considered for prototype tidal stream generators, however the utilisation of …

Techno-economic comparison of standalone microgrids for rural electrification in South Africa
… living in sub- Saharan Africa. There are number of reasons why rural electrification is generally low. People in rural areas generally live in small communities, located far away or from the grid or in geographically tough terrain. As a result, it is not financially viable to extend the grid to …

An update on the process economics of biogas in South Africa based on observations from recent Installations
This dissertation investigates, in the context of South Africa (SA), the process economics of energy from biogas, and hence the financial viability establishing a biogas plant in the absence of a formal incentivisation programme. Firstly, the study set out to establish an improved understanding of …

AI-based hybrid optimisation of multi-megawatt scale permanent magnet synchronous generators for offshore wind energy capture
The finite nature of earth’s natural resources has become a post-industrial reality. Despite their alarming depletion, fossil fuels still dominated the global final energy landscape. Technological advances and rapid deployment of various renewable energy technologies have demonstrated their …

Technical and economic assessment of renewable hydrogen production and utilization for the transportation sector
Hydrogen energy is mooted to play a critical role in decarbonization of the transportation sector, due in part to its relatively high energy density (120 MJLHV/kg) and clean combustion product (the only combustion product is water). Renewable hydrogen can be generated from various renewable energy …

Innovative hull design for servicing offshore wind turbines
… maintenance is a key operational issue for an offshore wind farm. Currently there is a 1.5m significant wave height (Hs) limit for the standard “step over” method of transferring personnel to an offshore wind turbine, though this varies with, vessel type, wave period and direction, as well as …
