Zinc Air takes up the challenge
IZASA has worked closely with Alternative Energy Development Corporation (AEDC) to promote the use of Zinc Air technology for rural development. Rural community development remains a challenge within South Africa. Urbanisation causes significant stress on existing infrastructure to the extent that the migrating population escapes from rural poverty only to be challenged by an urban existence no better than that left behind. The development of a sustainable rural community is possible if basic services can be provided. Unfortunately, the provision of basic electricity to many communities cannot be justified economically. The use of Zinc Air battery technology provides basic power for low power applications such as lighting to materially impact upon the quality of life of the community. Combined with the use of a gel heating system, a total solution can be provided economically to communities allowing them to develop in-situ generating local SMME opportunities and thus sustainable communities.
