A quest to supply SA with clean, alternative energy
JOHANNESBURG - Entrepreneur Andri Hugo is on a quest to position Novo Energy as a leading supplier of clean, alternative energy and authority in the natural gas economy of South Africa.
In an interview with Business Report, the businessman says the Novo Energy is committed to providing integrated energy solutions in South Africa and help the country move away from its coal based economy, among other things. “There are lots of energy reserves in southern Africa. Africa has been blessed with an abundance of resources, including minerals, energy, natural resources and human capital. A combination of these, through industrial activity, can address most of the socio-economic challenges we face.”
Hugo says they also supply the Johannesburg Metro Police Department with CNG as some of its vehicles run on natural gas, and Tshwane’s A Re Yeng Bus Rapid Transit system as all its buses run on CNG. “As a gas aggregation hub we can receive gas, process the molecules, and manage the logistics of getting the gas to our customers,” he says.
“Now because of this new infrastructure we can help them make the switch to natural gas – a cleaner more sustainable alternative energy that’s half the price and we can distribute gas anywhere in the country.”
