Green Energy Nest (Mindfour Group)

Renewable Energy

Green Energy Nest (GEN), by Mindfour Group, builds decentralized clean-energy balancing hubs that combine solar PV, battery storage, and an AI energy-management system into one adaptive, resilient infrastructure. A typical hub pairs about 1.26 MWp of solar with 3.65 MWh of storage and roughly 1 MW of export capacity, optimised in real time for day-ahead and balancing markets, with islanding capability that keeps critical infrastructure - schools, hospitals, emergency centres - powered during blackouts. The modular architecture scales into regional balancing clusters, and future phases introduce 100% recyclable composite PV modules instead of glass. GEN follows a hybrid B2B/B2G model via Build-Own-Operate and Public-Private Partnership schemes, earning from day-ahead, intraday, and balancing markets, grid-support and resilience services, and future carbon credits. Its climate impact is significant: an eight-hub network avoids around 56,250 tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to about 2.5 million trees.

Project Team • University of Johannesburg

Transportation

A research team at the University of Johannesburg is developing a Pure Electric Vehicle (PEV) designed to reduce environmental pollution from conventional agricultural machinery. Led by Prof. Nnamdi Nwulu and Mr. Musole I. Muheme, the initiative addresses the need for cleaner, energy-efficient alternatives in the agricultural sector. The PEV integrates advanced control technologies, including a loop controller that minimizes voltage drop and optimizes power use. With remote control functionality to support precision farming, the vehicle is tailored to the needs of small-scale agricultural operations. The solution offers a sustainable, low-emission alternative that contributes to both environmental conservation and improved farming efficiency.

GreenSweep EcoServices (Steinkopf Tourism Investments)

Waste Beneficiation

GreenSweep EcoServices is a South African cleantech initiative focused on transforming waste into valuable resources through innovative and scalable solutions. Operating under Steinkopf Tourism Investments in the Northern Cape, the organisation is developing two integrated systems aimed at addressing waste management, environmental sustainability, and agricultural challenges.
The first innovation is an Advanced Landfill & Waste Diversion Plant, designed to process mixed waste, recover recyclable materials, and convert organic waste into compost, significantly reducing landfill pressure and environmental pollution.
The second innovation is a Solar-Powered Circular Processing System, a modular and mobile unit that operates in rural and off-grid areas. This system processes organic waste into compost and liquid fertilizer using renewable energy, supporting sustainable agriculture and local economic development.
Together, these solutions promote a circular economy approach, enabling communities and municipalities to reduce waste, create jobs, and generate income from recycled materials and agricultural outputs. The innovation is designed to be affordable, scalable, and adaptable to South African conditions, with strong potential for replication across the country.
GreenSweep EcoServices aligns with national and global climate goals by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving resource efficiency, and supporting green economic growth.

EPS-Environmental & Process Solutions (Pty) Ltd

Waste Beneficiation

Environmental Process Solutions (EPS) has developed an advanced Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTLF) technology that converts wet organic and biomass waste into high-quality biocrude. Unlike conventional processes, HTLF efficiently handles high-moisture feedstocks, eliminating the need for energy-intensive drying and enabling cost-effective processing of diverse waste streams. EPS addresses two critical challenges: sustainable waste management and clean energy production. By diverting waste from landfill, the technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions while unlocking value from underutilised resources. In doing so, it produces a diesel-like biocrude suitable for refining or co-processing in existing petroleum infrastructure, enabling immediate integration into current fuel supply chains. The solution is designed for modular deployment, supporting job creation, circular economy integration, and measurable environmental impact.
