Local engineering SMMEs Sysdel and Sovereignty Systems have joined the exclusive club of entities that have successfully developed and flown stores on a very demanding fast-jet combat aircr
The CSIR is pleased to announce the commencement of its Vaccine Production Technologies course (CSIR-VP-1A), scheduled to start on Monday, 21 July 2025, as part of its African Biomanufacturing Workforce Training and Skills Development Programme.
The deadline for applications is 05 May 2025.
The CSIR, an entity of the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) – in collaboration with a number of local partners – has completed work on a local ventilator to be rolled out nationwide to patients showing respiratory distress in the early phase of COVID-19 infection.
The development forms part of government’s National Ventilator Project (NVP) under the auspices of the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic), and is supported by the Solidarity Fund. The first batch of ventilators will be provided to state hospitals around the country that are currently experiencing pressure due to the unavailability of equipment to deal with the pandemic.
The report provides a detailed analysis of loadshedding statistics and the energy availability factor (EAF) during this timeframe.
The study compared Eskom's aggregated generation resources for 2024, including coal, nuclear, hydro, pumped storage, open cycle gas turbine, renewable energy independent power producer procurement programme, solar photovoltaic, wind and concentrated solar power with their installed capacities and energy production outputs from January to December 2024 to assess their impact on loadshedding.
This iteration also examined national average electricity tariff increases and compared it to the tariff in other countries.
The second edition of an atlas showing South Africa’s vulnerability to climate change has been launched in Johannesburg, to help the country’s economic and social sectors take informed decisions to avoid risks related to climate change. Developed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), an entity of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), the South African Risk and Vulnerability Atlas (SARVA) disseminates spatial and non-spatial data that describes, assesses and evaluates the risks and vulnerabilities facing the country due to climate change.
The CSIR has submitted formal comments to the DoE on the draft IRP 2018.
