The Residential Energy Consumption project is focused around the collection of residential energy consumption data. This data is based upon the types of electrical appliances and their end-use by individuals within the different Living Standard Measure (LSM) across South Africa. The appliance end-use data utilised within the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) model for analysis, enabling policy makers with a better understanding and visibility of residential energy side. Furthermore, this project supports aspects of the review of the National Energy Efficiency Strategy (NEES) targets, together with the National Standards & Labelling Programme (S&L) impact assessment.

Clean Coal – Research Specialist
Purpose
The Applied Energy Research, Development and Innovation Programme is host to
SANEDI’s clean coal and fossil fuels sub-programme, an existing areas that
requires immediate attention given the role of coal in South African energy security.
We require a specialist researcher in clean coal technology to support SANEDI
with exploring opportunities and areas of focus, namely: to drive the adoption of
clean coal technologies. South Africa is set to have coal in as a fuel in its fuel mix
after 2050 owing to the lifespans of its coal-fired power stations. A target of
achieving decarbonised electricity by 2050 is expressed in the South African
Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) (SA-UNFCCC, 2015).
Innovative R&D is required to contribute to realising this goal whilst still utilising the
energy derived from the rich resources of coal that we have while maintaining
levels of economic and social development. The research into coal and carbon as a material and the advancement of technologies and industry practices that significantly increase coal conversion efficiency and decrease environmental impacts is key. The successful individual will based at the SANEDI offices in Sandton, Johannesburg.
