WASHINGTON D.C.- The U.S. Trade and Development Agency issued a grant to Swayana (Pty) Ltd, a Pretoria-based energy project developer, for a feasibility study that will use innovative U.S. technologies to convert waste gas also known as off-gas into a valuable commodity at a plant in South Africa's Mpumalanga province.
The project will use proprietary technologies from Illinois-based LanzaTech, Inc. to create ethanol from off-gas generated as a byproduct of ferroalloy smelting. This project will open up a new low-carbon footprint fuels and chemical industry in South Africa
"USTDA is pleased to support this cutting-edge project, which is creating new opportunities for innovative U.S. technologies that will support South Africa's commitment to reduce pollution in energy-intensive manufacturing industries," said USTDA's Acting Director Thomas R. Hardy.
