ProposalDescription: 

The proposed development will entail the construction of a Biogas and Fertiliser Plant in the uMshwathi Local Municipality (please refer to Locality Map: Appendix 1). The primary input of the Plant is animal manure, proposed to be sourced from a local feedlot. The animal manure is mixed with water to the desired consistency and processed via an anaerobic digester. The estimated input of animal manure, running at full capacity, will be 18 tons/day. The outputs are threefold, namely: • 80m3/day liquid fertiliser; • 6 tons/day solid compost; and • 40 – 8m3/day biogas. In terms of utilization, the following with apply: • The liquid fertiliser will be used at the existing Sunshine Seedlings nursery (resulting in a net zero water use by the Biogas and Fertiliser Plant); • The compost will be applied to existing sugarcane fields and will be utilized in the existing Sunshine Seedlings nursery; and • The biogas will be utilized as a fuel source for heating the existing Sunshine Seedlings nursery tunnels during the winter months; firing boilers in a purpose-built essential oil distillery and for generating electricity in a closed combustion engine which will assist in powering the Biogas and Fertiliser Plant. Any excess biogas generated will be flared.
