“Raw Materials Transportation: Comparisons and Options” – Karel Steyn (Workshop)

The transportation sector, contributing about 13% of total emissions, is the second-highest contributor to the South Africa’s greenhouse gas emissions. To decrease emissions the focus and effort is usually on privately owned smaller passenger Electric Vehicles (EV’s).

“Strategies for Improving Utility Sustainability” – Karel Steyn (Conference)

This presentation attempts to present the possible options for a hypothetical, illustrative electric utility facing challenges due to the impacts of renewables, the need for emission saving and pricing limitations. In this context, the flexibility potential throughout an electricity utility system, from the demand side, supply side, network operations, storage as well as generation and others are covered. The concepts and applicability are universal.
