A Commitment to Sustainable Energy
In a significant step towards sustainability, Chemetall has partnered with leading renewable energy company Ener-G-Africa to install a 500kWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system at its Boksburg site. This project underscores Chemetall’s commitment to enhancing operational efficiency, reducing its carbon footprint, and driving innovation.
This state-of-the-art PV system substantially enhances Chemetall’s South African operations. Projected to generate approximately 1,000MWh of electricity annually, it provides a sustainable and reliable energy source. This move not only reduces operational costs but also significantly decreases the company’s reliance on non-renewable energy, aligning with global sustainability objectives. By harnessing solar power, Chemetall is setting a new benchmark for the industrial sector.
A Strategic Partnership for a Greener Future
At the heart of this project is the successful collaboration between Chemetall and Ener-G-Africa. With a wealth of experience in designing, installing, and maintaining large-scale PV plants, Ener-G-Africa ensures the system is both efficient and reliable, meeting Chemetall’s long-term energy needs.
Ener-G-Africa has a robust track record in the renewable energy sector, with projects spanning South Africa, Namibia, and other African countries. The company’s focus on delivering cost-effective, sustainable energy solutions makes it an ideal partner for Chemetall. Expected to operate for at least 25 years, the new PV plant offers enduring benefits to the Boksburg site, slashing operational costs and propelling Chemetall closer to its environmental goals.

The company’s commitment to training local workers helps cultivate the essential skills needed to maintain and expand renewable energy infrastructure within these communities.
Ener-G-Africa’s projects have had a substantial economic impact, contributing over ZAR 10 billion to the South African economy alone. This uplift is crucial in areas where job opportunities are often scarce. Chemetall’s choice of partner reflects a deep dedication to both sustainability and social responsibility, ensuring its investments deliver positive impacts far beyond its own operations.
A Global Vision for Sustainability
A global vision for sustainability is integral to Chemetall’s business strategy. The company is dedicated to reducing energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and using resources more efficiently as part of a broader commitment to fostering a sustainable future.
The PV plant in Boksburg is a clear example of Chemetall putting its sustainability goals into action. This initiative in South Africa is part of a larger strategy to implement renewable energy solutions across the company’s global operations. Beyond environmental benefits, this focus on renewable energy also makes sound business sense. By reducing energy costs and increasing energy independence, Chemetall is better equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving market.
Chemetall’s new PV plant in Boksburg marks a significant advancement in the company’s sustainability journey. The project exemplifies the power of collaboration between industry leaders and renewable energy experts like Ener-G-Africa, creating a positive impact on the environment and local communities while supporting Chemetall’s long-term business goals.
