These are used to determine the demand for transportation for all types of freight and then predicting how this demand will change over the next 30 years. 14 Mining freight: Supply/Production and Demand/Consumption areas 2012 0 – 0.2 mtpa 0.2 – 0.4 mtpa 0.4 – 0.6 mtpa 0.6 – 0.8 mtpa 0.8 – 1 mtpa 1 – 2 mtpa 2 – 5 mtpa 5 – 25 mtpa 25 – 50 mtpa 50 – 200 mtpa 2042 16 Demand forecasting: Market share considerations Longer distances High volumes Certain Commodity types Short-haul distribution is more efficient Rail is a bulk mover Typically bulk minerals heavy on road Big parcels in a single move goods/containers/etc. Corridor effect Concentrated corridors attract more traffic Road friendly Road or rail Rail friendly • Fundamental to the working of the Freight Demand Model is the ability to analyse the quantities, parcel sizes and distances associated with each commodity on the network. • Rail naturally works better for longer distances, big parcel sizes and bulky commodities. 17 Coal from the Waterberg • Coal from the Waterberg used in these scenarios. 18 Contents Setting the scene Transnet Market Demand Strategy Demand Integrated supply chain approach Train operating principles Coal loading at Lephalale Rail capacity developments Port capacity developments Major programmes Conclusions 19 Planning hierarchy The Long-term Planning Framework (LTPF) provides Transnet and the Operational Planning: Level 1 Where: Operating Divisions broader stakeholder community with a planning framework within What: Operational Plans which the long-term development of South Africa’s Freight Purpose: Resource allocation & Operational enablement Transportation network and the expansion of Transnet’s operational Timescale: Day-, week- , month- , months ahead footprint can be executed.

  • South African Coal Mining Industry: Socio-Economic Attributes
    E-ISSN 2039-2117 Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 4 No 14 ISSN 2039-9340 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy November 2013 South African Coal Mining Industry: Socio-Economic Attributes Ken Mathu Vaal University of Technology Richard Chinomona Vaal University of Technology Doi:10.5901/mjss.2013.v4n14p347 Abstract Coal has been an important commodity in South Africa for many years and it is one of the oldest mining enterprises in the country. Its role since 1923 as a primary source of energy has steered the economy and society to prosperity. The energy generated especially electricity and synthetic fuels impacts on all sectors of the economy and the society. The country has enough coal for domestic consumption and for export to last the country for longer than it has existed. There are 73 collieries distributed through the coal mining areas with majority of them (61) situated in the Mpumalanga coalfields. The only problem with coal mining is raising carbon footprint and carbon emissions that have become a global issue for nearly the last two decades. The five leading coal mining companies (Anglo Coal, BHP Billiton, Exxaro, Xstrata and Sasol) produce over 80% of the South African coal. The rest is produced by junior miners that comprise the newly established Black Economic Empowerment companies. The domestic coal consumption is 75 percent of the total coal produced in the country while 25 percent is exported. The interactions of the role players in the coal mining industry commencing with the government regulations, supply chain members, employees and the society who are the beneficiaries of the process underpins the socio- economic attributes of the industry.

  • Logistics Implications in the South African Coal Mining Industry Supply Chain
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 20 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy September 2014 Logistics Implications in the South African Coal Mining Industry Supply Chain Dr. Ken Mathu Vaal University of Technology Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n20p503 Abstract The importance of the South African coal mining industry goes back to more than 100 years. However, the logistics role of the of the coal supply chain since early 1920s when coal started replacing hydro power as a primary source of energy continues to be of significance to socio-economic attributes and of concerns in environmental impacts. The coal transportation modes are conveyor belts, rail, road and water. The South African coal serves both domestic and export markets. The leading industry players are the five leading international resources companies which produces over 80% of the commodity in the country. The companies are BHP Billiton, Anglo American, Xstrata/Glencore, Sasol and Exxaro and they jointly own Richards Bay Coal Terminal which is also the leading coal export terminal in the world. The other 20% of coal is produced by the black economic empowerment companies also known as junior miners. The domestic coal is mainly used for the generation of electricity, production of synthetic-fuels/petrochemicals, as a catalyst in the heavy industries and for cooking and space heating at homes. The coal logistics benefits the communities where the mines and consumers are located, but it also has adverse effects on the environment. These factors are some of the major logistics implications in the South African coal supply chain.

  • Towards Greening the South African Coal Supply Chain
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 27 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy December 2014 Towards Greening the South African Coal Supply Chain Ken Mathu Vaal University of Technology Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n27p1632 Abstract South Africa is predominantly a carbon economy. The coal supply chain impacts on the environment commences with mining, processing, transportation and processing by the end users. The country possess the largest coal reserves in the African continent, it is among the leading producers in the world and one of the top twenty leading nations in carbon emissions globally. Coal is the primary source of energy in South Africa producing 88% of the total electricity generation and one-third of liquid fuels production. Hence, the needs for greening the coal supply chain.The South African government newly adopted national development plan for the next twenty years proposes future reduction for coal dependency by boosting development of renewables sources of energy despite their high implementation cost. There are new legislations in support of clean energy development and sustainability initiative as mandated by the United Nations Convention on Climate Change. Greening the coal supply chain require combined efforts from the government and the industry. The focus areas include use of clean technologies in mining, processing, burning coal at power stations and the industries. Improved transportation system in form of intermodal transport with emphasis on the rail use over the road and maintaining or increasing the use of conveyor belts where appropriate would be the future for the coal value chain.
