Abstract
The province of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa has two strong bioindustries, namely sugar and forestry, which produce considerable volumes of residue. What is the potential of these two waste resources to deliver cost-effective, green electricity? This question led to research at the University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB) to determine to what extent these two resources can offer feasible and economically viable sources of electric energy.
