The City of Cape Town is looking to harvest methane gas from water treatment plants to make the city more self-sufficient, the city’s executive director for utility services, Lungile Dlamini has revealed.
The plan to use the methane gas from sewage was already at an advanced stage and the city was examining which technology was best suited before putting the project out to tender, said Dlamini.
Dlamini, along with other city officials, was briefing reporters last week as the City of Cape Town prepared to host World Water Day on March 22 in conjunction with the UN, the Dutch government and “all big-hitters in the world water community,” said Piers Cross, UN reporter for the event.
