This project is constructed as a pilot project, and aims to increase
copper extraction from the ore by using warmer leaching fluid heated
up by solar system instead of conventional heating source. The solar
system is a standalone system not connected to conventional heating
system. The system has been in operation since March 2013.

In an effort to reduce production costs and increase its competiveness in a
market place, the Cape Town based „Cape Brewing Company", also known as
CBC, became the first brewery in South Africa to use solar thermal technology
to produce over 60% of its hot water demand from the sun. The beer brewing
process requires water temperatures of 85°C which was previously generated
by a traditional paraffin boiler. By using solar thermal energy, CBC has reduced
the associated energy costs by more than 50%, thereby significantly reducing
its carbon impact on the environment and now rightfully claiming that they are
producing South Africa's first "Green Beer".
