Abstract	The development of an innovative waste-to-energy plant in rural South Africa is now underway. A plan to construct a test unit that uses chicken droppings from a nearby chicken farm as a fuel source is presented. This waste-to-energy plant offers an opportunity to provide economic development and community empowerment. The system is based on two critical components: (1) a power generation plant which uses chicken droppings as a fuel source, and (2) a waste processing unit that is based on magnetic induction heating technology. The ultimate goal of the power plant is to utilize it as a vocational training tool to teach young people of the community to become power plant technicians, a vocational option that has never been available in rural African communities until now.
