CLEAN : Nuclear and renewables South Africas ambitious new energy mix

The video tutorial discusses the process of waste management where waste is mixed and placed in conditions ideal for bacterial breakdown, producing methane gas as a primary fuel. It highlights an integrated resource plan aiming for 42% renewable energy by 2030. The video also covers the cost and payback period of energy systems, emphasizing their role in clean energy and energy savings.
