The government wants South Africa to become a manufacturer of "green technology" such as parts for renewable energy plants, Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies said at the Living Planet Conference on Friday.

South Africa’s Integrated Resource Plan seeks 17.8GW of energy from renewables by 2030.

Mr Davies said the New Growth Path had identified "the green economy" as one of six growth drivers for South Africa. The New Growth Path was adopted in 2010 as the country’s framework for economic policy and the driver of its jobs strategy.

Minister Rob Davis and the whole of the government of the day is out of touch with the reality of how things are done at grass roots
The comment of starting green tech technology in South Africa is wishful thinking
Our company is battling for more than three years with the government and specifically the northern Cape to built a renewable factory on PV solar systems with no joy
Over 480 jobs could have been created
So we have decided to move our project outside of South Africa to a country that really want to do something for their people and environment

A far more simple concept is to expand the growing of giant bamboo. Bamboo biomass can be converted to bio energy. This concept can utilize marginal or degraded land, sequesters CO2, creates jobs and the biomass can be converted to bio coal, bio diesel, or a wide range of other products. Every 1000 ha will create about 500 seasonal and 200 permanent jobs.
The resulting biomass can be converted to bio coal or bio diesel,
