LAND AND AGRARIAN REFORM
• An increase from 5% in 1994 to 21% of
freehold transferred
• Black growers produce 2.5 million tons of
cane
• Settlement of claims will see 50% of land
ownership in hands of black growers
• Land reform in sugar leading the way
RENEWABLE ENERGY
DEVELOPMENTS FROM SUGARCANE
• Globally more sugar industries are transforming to co-produce sugar, ethanol and electricity
• World’s two largest cane producers, Brazil and India, have access to sugar, regulated electricity and ethanol markets
• South African sugarcane value chain is cost but not revenue competitive

RENEWABLE ENERGY
DEVELOPMENTS FROM SUGARCANE
• South Africa - urgent need for additional power generation
• Renewable energy as electricity and ethanol part of dti sugar industry strategy

SUGAR INDUSTRY COGENERATION
VALUE PROPOSITION• All 14 sugar mills match fuel supply with own energy use• 100% cogeneration implemented at all 14 mills• Generic Sugar Industry Proposal
• New Power Island • Medium to High pressure power island• Develop additional area under cane • Develop additional fibre sources
• Mill Energy Efficiency and Agricultural Yield Improvements
• Cogeneration supplies steam to sugar mill• Sugar mill procures electricity from grid• Power station critical to operation of sugar mill• Tariff based on capital return, operating and fuel cost
7
Global trends• Diversify product offering• Improves revenue & cost
effectiveness• Brazil leading in ethanol• India leading in electricity
Electricity & Steam• Currently fuel supply to match
own energy use• At high efficiency 2 to 7 times
more electricityOther Products: Animal feed, paper, chemicals
Future – cellulosic ethanol
15% Fibre
15% Sugar
Tops and leavesnot currently utilized, is
about equal to sugarcane fibre
Fibre
Sugar to market
Sugars to fuel ethanol
Water free (blend to E10)
Water containing (Fuel Flex Vehicles)
Sugarcane – one of most efficient plants to convert sunlight to energy
Season – ethanol could extend existing 8 months
Sugarcane
Molasses

• Consolidated industry impact• Level of development at different stages 13
WAY FORWARD
• Members of the SA sugar have responded to Request for Registration and Information (RFRI) – 12 July
• Require an enabling procurement programme fulfilling both the electricity (Department of Energy) and sugar industry (dti) objectives• Contractual agreements• Procurement approach and timing• Process to engage on low
hanging fruit projects• Inclusion of biomass
cogeneration in long term energy plans e.g. IRP and IEP
