The primary supplier of both sawdust and wood chips will be Matumi as detailed above. BioTherm <strong>Energy</strong> has a long<br />
term supply agreement with Matumi which will <strong>to</strong> the extent necessary be supplemented by buying in the spot<br />
market. Matumi has not been selling wood chips before and will be installing a chipping machine specifically <strong>to</strong><br />
service the BioTherm <strong>Energy</strong> agreement. BioTherm will be ceding the fuel supply agreement <strong>to</strong> African Realty Trust.<br />

A.4.2. Size of the project:<br />
A.4.3. Category(ies) of project activity:<br />
Renewable <strong>Energy</strong> (Ecologically Sound <strong>Biomass</strong>)<br />
A.4.4. Brief explanation of how the anthropogenic emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHGs) by<br />
sources are <strong>to</strong> be reduced by the proposed project activity, including why the emission reductions would not<br />
occur in the absence of the proposed project activity, taking in<strong>to</strong> account national and/or sec<strong>to</strong>ral policies<br />
and circumstances:<br />
In the absence of the Project Activity, <strong>Letaba</strong> Estates would continue <strong>to</strong> burn coal for its peel drying and energy<br />
needs and so the combustion of the coal would continue <strong>to</strong> generate greenhouse gas emissions in the form of<br />
carbon dioxide. There is no legislative obligation on the owners of sawdust heaps <strong>to</strong> remove these, nor on <strong>Letaba</strong><br />
Estates not <strong>to</strong> use coal for peel drying and/or steam. <strong>Letaba</strong> Estates would further continue <strong>to</strong> use electricity drawn<br />
off the national grid for cooling.
