Access to essential services (water, health, education, access to facilities, etc.) Access to essential services will be taken as an indicator of social sustainability, measured by the number of additional people gaining access in comparison with the baseline. Access must be directly related to the service and not an unintended impact. Access to affordable clean energy services The CDM and JI provide an important opportunity to improve the coverage of reliable and affordable clean energy services, especially to the poor and in rural areas. Where of a relevant scale, security of energy supply (an indicator of a country’s ability to generate the power that is needed for services and the economy in comparison with the baseline), should be taken into account. Empowerment The sub-indicator is used to evaluate the project’s contribution to improving the access of local people to and their participation in community institutions and decision-making processes. Education/skills The sub-indicator is used to assess how the project activity enhances and/or requires improved and more widespread education and skills in the community. Gender equality The sub-indicator is used to assess how the project activity requires or enhances improvement of the empowerment, education/skills and livelihoods of women in the community.

Considered the small size of the project, we judge this a major positive impact. 0 The project does not change access to essential service in a direct way. 1 The Letaba factory is supplied with an affordable, clean energy source. However, no poor people will directly benefit, since the energy is entirely used on-site. This is therefore a minor positive impact. 0 The project does not particularly lead to empowerment in the sense of this indicator. Indirectly, the shareholding held by BEE (“Black Economic Empowerment”) persons will contribute towards the eradication of historical economic imbalances in the country. 1 The project will lead to local skills development in the installation and maintenance of the peel driers and biomass boiler. 0 Gender equality is not particularly enhanced through the project, however, it is ensured that no adverse impact on gender equality is caused by the project. C Economic and technological development Indicator Score Comment Employment (numbers) Net employment 1 10-15 contracting and 1-3 permanent jobs generation will be taken as an indicator of will be generated. Considering the small economic sustainability, measured by the number size of the project, this is a considerable of additional jobs directly created by the CDM project in comparison with the baseline. positive impact. Sustainability of the balance of payments Net 0 Since neither in the baseline nor in the
foreign currency savings may result through a reduction of, for example, fossil fuel imports as a result of CDM projects. Any impact this has on the balance of payments of the recipient country may be compared with the baseline. Hard currency expenditures on technology, replicability and contribution to technological selfreliance: As the amount of expenditure on technology changes between the host and foreign investors, a decrease of foreign currency investment may indicate an increase of technological sustainability. When CDM projects lead to a reduction of foreign expenditure via a greater contribution of domestically produced equipment, royalty payments and license fees, imported technical assistance should decrease in comparison with the baseline. Similarly a reduced need for subsidies and external technical support indicates increased self-reliance and technology transfer.
