South Africa: Taxi Recapitalisation Programme

The government is offering to pay taxi drivers to scrap their old, unsafe, polluting vehicles in an attempt to clean up and regulate the taxi fleet.  If drivers fail to turn in their vehicles during the window of opportunity, within which they would receive a scrapping allowance of R50 000,00, their vehicles will be impounded.  The renewal of the taxi system and its management will then be taken over by the municipalities.  The plan for this process is being finalized.

South Africa: Draft Biofuels Industry Strategy

The Draft Strategy proposes: a 4,5% biofuels industry development in South Africa and this will achieve 75% of the country’s renewable energy target - the strategy is based on the national blending specifications of 8% for ethanol (E8) and 2 % for Biodiesel (B2); a mandatory blending of biofuels with petroleum based fuels, by fuel producers and refiners, to allow for market development; that the existing fuel levy exemption for Biodiesel be extended to Bioethanol, and this be based on the energy content.

South Africa: Solar Traffic Lights

South Africa has begun a pilot program for solar power traffic lights. Four pairs of lights have been installed in  Cape Town to test their success. Due to power interruptions, officers often have to direct traffic when lights are out. If the project is a success, South Africa hopes to expand the program for more solar traffic lights.

South Africa: Biofuels Strategy

This strategy is based on a draft developed by the Energy by the Biofuels Task Team in 2006. The strategy proposes to make the liquid fuel supply 2% biofuels in 5 years. It targets sugar cane, sugar beet, canola, sunflower, and soy, but avoids use of corn because of food security issues. The strategy seeks to continue incentives to develop biofuels through tax breaks and exemptions, and addresses issues of production,  land use, water resources, and funding.

South Africa: Integrated Energy Plan (IEP)

The Integrated Energy Plan outlines the direction and steps to be taken by South Africa to meet energy needs. The plan declares South Africa’s continued reliance on coal, but also uses modeling to forecast which energy sources can be used most effectively to meet demand under four different scenarios. The plan advocates diversification of energy sources, including renewables, as well as fuel switching to improve energy efficiency.
