Experience Exchange Workshop in Stuttgart drives EnerKey collaboration

From 13 to 17 July the EnerKey Experience Exchange Workshop took place in Stuttgart, Germany. A group of 20 guests representing the Gauteng Province and the cities as well as research and non-governmental energy organisations from South Africa were welcomed in Stuttgart.

Together with the German EnerKey partners and representatives of other energy institutions the opportunities and restrictions for sustainable energy supply and utilisation in cities and urban environments were analysed and discussed in the following three days in workshops, presentations and field trips. Among the field trips were visits to urban development sites with innovative energy concepts, power plants, one with biomass and another with waste incineration boilers and to sewage treatment plants. In these projects modern and innovative features of energy savings and renewable energy supply, e.g. based on solar energy, biomass or waste are implemented.

Initiative targets hazards of South African homes

Millions of people around the world have been glued to TV sets these past couple of weeks following the soccer World Cup. For audiences in host-nation South Africa, the most common venue is their home. Low-cost housing has boomed since the end of apartheid – thanks to social housing programmes – unfortunately many constructions have been of poor quality. They're causing health and environmental hazards, which are affecting the nation's poorest, hardest. A partnership programme between Germans and South Africans aims to changes this. It's called EnerKey.

Grüner Bauboom für Südafrikas Ärmste?

Die WM 2010 brachte Südafrika einen Bauboom. Nicht den Ersten, den seit 1994 werden
Sozialbauten für jeden "Armen" gebaut. So schnell, dass Umweltstandards keine Rolle
spielen. Das Projekt EnerKey will das ändern.
