Future skills and job creation through renewable energy in South Africa

March 31, 2019

South Africa is in the midst of an energy transition, with important social and economic implications, depending on the pathways that are chosen. Economic prosperity, business and employment opportunities as well as health impacts, issues related to the water–energy–food nexus and global warming impacts: through its energy pathway, South Africa will define the basis for its future development. Political decisions on South Africa’s energy future link the missions and mandates of many government departments beyond energy, such as environment, industry development, science and technological innovation.

Making Concrete a More Sustainable Building Material

whitePaper | November 11, 2022

Concrete is an outstanding building material. It is widely available, economical, hard and durable like stone, and easy to work with – all attractive properties for the construction industry. However, concrete also has its disadvantages. The cement contained in concrete consumes a lot of energy during its production process and emits large amounts of CO2. This, combined with the enormous demand for concrete and the simultaneous low recycling rate, makes concrete less-than-friendly for the environment.

Green Innovations of Antennas

whitePaper | May 16, 2022

Energy saving has become one of the most discussed topics of green development. Antennas, especially passive antennas, do not directly consume DC or AC electric energy, leaving them easily overlooked when energy saving is discussed. However, as unique devices that convert between radio frequency (RF) energy and electromagnetic waves, antennas transmit the RF energy to mobile devices. The efficiency in which the antennas convert energy has a significant bearing on the power consumed by base stations
