BEEMA BAMBOO TO ENERGY
• This initiative in South Africa is a national
demonstration project that will enhance the
use of the beema bamboo biomass
feedstock for the generation of electricity.
The growing of bamboo will assist Eskom in
acquiring much needed sustainable biomass
feedstock for the co-firing of their power
stations.
![Page 16: Derek Naidoo](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013104/586cd8b91a28ab6d768bf6fb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
BEEMA BAMBOO TO ENERGY
• Eskom has to reduce its reliance on fossil
fuels by 10%, and replace it with a
sustainable biomass feedstock by 2026.
This translates to 12 million tons of biomass
feedstock per annum, hence the strategic
nature of the project, to this extent Green
Grid has signed a Non -Disclosure
Agreement with Eskom with regards the
research and development of the project.

BEEMA BAMBOO TO ENERGY
• The District Council of Ilembe pledged its
support for the project and has the
facilitated 500 hectares of land in the Local
Municipality of Mandeni for this project
• The District Council has in addition,
committed to providing assistance in
ensuring that all the legal requirements are
met for the establishment of the project.

BEEMA BAMBOO TO ENERGY
• South Africa needs a Sustainable Biomass
Feed stock for energy generation.
• To provide a product that can create a
sustainable supply of BIOMASS FEEDSTOCK
by establishing, a tissue culture laboratory
for the propagation of the bamboo shoots, a
bamboo energy plantation and a power plant
that will use the bamboo as a feedstock to
generate electricity.

BEEMA BAMBOO TO ENERGY
• “Beema” is a specially bred variety by Dr. N.
Barathi of Growmore Biotech Ltd., which has
a potential to grow very fast and yields very
high biomass due to the fact that the wall
thickness of “Beema” Bamboo is 3 times
more than other bamboo.
• The carbon content of “Beema” Bamboo is
between 46 to 48%.
![Page 20: Derek Naidoo](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013104/586cd8b91a28ab6d768bf6fb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BEEMA BAMBOO TO ENERGY
• The dry matter production of “Beema”
Bamboo under optimum condition reaches
40 to 50 tons per acre or 100 to 125 tons
per hectare.
• The total carbon accumulation every year,
after 5 years of growth is from 18 tons to 23
tons per acre, which is equivalent to 69 tons
to 80 tons per hectare respectively.
![Page 21: Derek Naidoo](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013104/586cd8b91a28ab6d768bf6fb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
BEEMA BAMBOO TO ENERGY
• Due to this fact, “Beema” Bamboo acts as a
“Carbon Sink”. When “Beema” Bamboo is
grown individually in the gardens and parks,
it sequesters 400 to 500 kg. Of carbon di-
oxide every year, thereby reduces the Carbon
di-oxide in the surrounding places.
• “Beema” Bamboo generates 70 to 80 CER
per acre / year, which is equivalent to 175 to
200 CER per hectare every year.

HOW BAMBOO
Become a Hi-Biomass Crop
• Biotechnology played an important role in
crop development & improvement of bamboo
variety ( < 1 tons/Ac to 10 tons/Ac)
• High biomass yielding bamboo clones
developed according to the soil and climate
• Precision farming methods developed for
maximizing the biomass yield
( < 10 tons/Ac to 50 tons/Ac)

decomposition.
•Vermicompost is a high-grade, nutrient-
rich plant fertilizer helps to increase the

•Worm composting adds additional input
by improving the soil health.
