Meet Shongile Nyavana Mathye, Director and CEO of Magulasavi Trading Enterprise (Pty) Ltd, a Centurion-based business with over a decade of experience across petroleum, construction, and waste management. Magulasavi supplies bulk fuel products — from diesel and jet fuel to LPG — and provides safe transport for medical, general, and hazardous waste. The company also delivers on residential, industrial, and commercial construction projects, including civil works and home automation. Shongile joined the Women in Green Construction, Waste Management, and Renewable Energy (WIG) Programme — hosted by the South African Supplier Diversity Council (SASDC) and sponsored by Sasol — to expand her network and drive meaningful change. “We want to be one of the biggest contributors in the industry by improving the current crisis through innovation,” she says. At the heart of Magulasavi’s vision is integration: merging construction, waste management, and green energy to build a more circular economy. Through projects like the company’s Net-Zero Energy Residential Development, they’re creating homes that produce as much energy as they consume — using solar, airtight insulation, and smart storage. Shongile acknowledges the challenges — financing, regulations, and skills gaps — but remains optimistic: “We’re moving from Net Zero to Net Positive. Imagine communities where buildings generate more energy than they consume, turning entire neighbourhoods into shared clean energy networks.” For her, sustainability is personal — about cleaner air, healthier communities, and affordable energy that improves quality of life. Through the WIG Programme, she’s strengthening her leadership and proving how women are shaping Africa’s green economy. 🔗 Contact Magulasavi Trading Enterprise: http://bit.ly/47e6wMx Glynnis Jackson IYBA-SEED Project GIZ South Africa, Lesotho & eSwatini Expertise France SNV #projectembrace

Industrialization often comes at the expense of the environment. AIIP is charting a different path by proving that Africa’s industrial revolution can also be a green revolution. Renewable Energy at the Core AIIP is designed to integrate renewable energy solutions into its infrastructure. Solar power, small-scale hydro, and wind integration are projected to cut operating costs by 25%, while reducing carbon emissions significantly. Waste-to-Value Systems The Park is pioneering circular economy models, where industrial by-products are recycled into new inputs. For example, agricultural residues from agro-processing plants will be converted into biomass energy, while plastic waste will feed recycling plants. Green Buildings and Smart Infrastructure Residential and commercial properties within AIIP are designed with energy-efficient systems, water recycling, and sustainable materials. These not only lower operational costs but also ensure long-term durability. Sustainable Transport Networks By integrating electric vehicle infrastructure and rail-linked logistics, AIIP is positioning itself as Nigeria’s first industrial hub with low-carbon mobility options. Building for the Next Generation Sustainability is not a side initiative — it is central to AIIP’s design. The Park proves that Africa’s industrial future can grow without sacrificing environmental responsibility. #AIIP

#Ethiopia’s Renewable Fuel Take-Off: Building Africa’s Next Biofuel and SAF Hub As Ethiopia advances its national energy transition, two landmark reports have crystallised the opportunity ahead: the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) 2025 Biofuel Strategy and the World Bank’s 2024 “Fueling Africa’s Flight” assessment. Together, they paint a compelling picture — one where Ethiopia could become a continental leader in bioethanol and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production. From Cassava to Sustainable Jet Fuel Ethiopia’s biofuel journey began with a simple ambition: to reduce fuel imports and create rural jobs through domestic ethanol production. The RSB Biofuel Strategy reaffirmed this goal, setting out a policy roadmap built on three pillars: 1. Feedstock expansion – large-scale cassava and sugarcane development with smallholder out-growers. 2. National blending mandates – progressive ethanol blending targets of E10 → E20, backed by fuel security objectives. 3. Private-sector participation – incentives for investors through public-private partnerships, concessional finance, and tax reliefs. Today, Ethiopia already produces ethanol from molasses for both E5 fuel blending and clean cooking, but supply remains far below potential. With the sugar sector under reform, the government aims to revive underutilised estates like Finchaa, Metehara, and Kessem — creating a platform for industrial biofuel expansion.

#LE_BIOGAZ... 100% practical training on the study and construction of a biogas production unit in Southwest Cameroon. This project was funded by UNDP and carried out by the NGO ROYAL GREEN WORLD, of which I am the renewable energy expert within the organization. The project consisted of training internally displaced people on the realities of the circular economy, sustainable development and ecological transition. We say thank you to #UNDP, thank you to #ROYAL_GREEN_WORLD and to all the participants who kindly attended this training. #ROYALGREENWORLD #PNUD #UNICEF #GREENPOWERBIOTECHNOLOGY #RÉCYCLAGE #BIOGAZ #ÉNERGIERENOUVELABLE

Sincere thanks to the team at RACE for 2030 and the Denmark in Australia/New Zealand - Trade Council for hosting a fascinating webinar on the Danish biogas experience last night. Key takeways: 1. it took 25 years to go from 1% renewable electricity to achieve the 38% penetration in place today in Denmark, despite their leading position in wind; it took only 8 years to do the same with biomethane, and they could be 100% self-sufficient for gas by ~2030! How? Policy alignment to prioritise 'hard to abate' gas users and make better use of biogenic waste in all its forms, leverage of existing infrastructure, and financial support with the right incentives to manage the transition. 2. gas demand overall will drop and it makes sense to electrify low temperature heat where this is practical and affordable, especially at a household level, but combined with an aggressive push to decarbonise the remaining gas supply, we could absolutely become 100% self-sufficient for industrial gas use in Australia with the right settings, in a remarkably short space of time. 3. the energy diversity and security that renewable gas brings, notwithstanding the Circular Economy benefits for nutrient recycling and better management of waste, can have a host of multiplying benefits, especially in regional areas. All in all, compelling and inspirational - let's get cracking Australia!

Truly amazing what can be achieved if we take a whole 'systems view' of the energy landscape, its role in supporting a modern economy and the need to embrace a diversity of options to decarbonise, in the fastest and most economical way possible. It's tough enough decarbonising existing electricity demand, notwithstanding the staggering growth of data centres and electrical vehicles that only add to underlying demand! The critical 'bottlenecks' in power network infrastructure we are now seeing across the country, the spiralling cost of their expansion and the pushback from regional communities only underscores the need for us to get on with a 'multi-pronged' strategy to decarbonise our energy supply that can help us to optimise the green transition in a way that is just, affordable, tailored and timely. Not always easy of course, but leading examples such as Denmark are living proof of the contribution that renewable gas can make to decarbonisation overall, and the speed at which such transitions can be mobilised. In Australia we have everything we need to become a big player in biogas - except the right policies and incentives that provide certainty for investors!
