Cape Town joins 30 global cities in an equity pledge for inclusive climate action. Mayor Patricia De Lille signed the commitment in San Francisco, emphasising climate action’s role in poverty reduction and economic growth. SustainPower, supported by the city, now manufactures 500kW BioGas CHP generators locally, a first in South Africa. This initiative highlights how climate action fosters economic development and job creation.

LSU’s WorldStrides initiative brought 26 MBA students to Cape Town, exposing them to South African businesses like SustainPower. Ames Martin of SustainPower highlighted the potential of gas-to-power solutions in Africa. The visit, including a tour of New Horizons Energy, inspired students to consider global business opportunities, with some expressing interest in investing their skills in local ventures—a significant success.

SustainPower and Unique Hydra delivered a locally manufactured biogas power generator to Ibert (Pty) Ltd. The 220kW containerised CHP unit, launched in 2017, efficiently converts biogas into electricity and heat at an abattoir near Pretoria. This collaboration exemplifies innovative, sustainable energy solutions in Africa, leveraging high local content and international components for effective waste-to-energy processes.
