Energising Africa
Affordable. Sustainable. Eco-friendly.
P-GEM is a South African-based manufacturing, marketing and distribution business, focused on developing sustainable green energy solutions for Africa and other less-developed regions.
P-GEM’s Biomass Gasifiers are purpose-built to meet the needs of the agricultural industry and specifically those farmers who rely heavily on heating, cleaning and power generation. In addition to helping them “get off the grid” most farmers already have a supply of biomass on site which can used as feedstock for the gasifiers.
The application of Biomass Gasifiers is suited to those businesses that are heavily dependent on thermal energy in their manufacturing or production processes. These could range from heating spray booths (Panel Beaters) and drying flowers to curing concrete and generating electrical power, as well as heating up pottery kilns.
The hospitality industry is a major consumer of electricity, particularly in terms of heating water and food preparation. Our gasifiers offer the most cost-effective way to reduce electricity costs and at the same time become a reliable green energy source. They are already being used at two resorts in the Western Cape.
South Africa and many other African countries are facing an energy crisis, which cannot be addressed by solar and wind power alone. Our Biomass Gasifiers are well-placed to meet the energy needs of Africa’s more vulnerable communities and at the same time create jobs through the collection and distribution of biomass.
