The Project, undertaken through BioSteam Energy, recently established together with Alien Fuel Limited, represents Fusion Fuel’s first operational footprint in the Southern African market and a key milestone in its industrial decarbonization strategy.
Groundbreaking activities began this week, with production of the proprietary biomass boiler and fuel systems already underway. The equipment fabrication is being performed by Alien Energy Limited, an affiliate of Alien Fuel. The full plant is expected to be commissioned and enter commercial operation in January 2026, with initial revenues to follow thereafter.
The Project will replace a fossil-fuel-based steam generation system with a carbon-neutral biomass solution and is expected to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and generate verified carbon credits through landfill avoidance and fuel-switching benefits.
“We’re excited to see the Project move from paper to reality,” said John-Paul Backwell, CEO of Fusion Fuel. “This marks the beginning of our South African operations and provides a tangible example of how Fusion Fuel can deploy sustainable energy solutions to deliver measurable emissions reductions in hard-to-abate industrial sectors.”
