  • The Future of South African Coal: Market, Investment, and Policy Challenges
    PROGRAM ON ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Working Paper #100 January 2011 THE FUTURE OF SOUTH AFRICAN COAL: MARKET, INVESTMENT, AND POLICY CHALLENGES ANTON EBERHARD FREEMAN SPOGLI INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES FREEMAN SPOGLI INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES About the Program on Energy and Sustainable Development The Program on Energy and Sustainable Development (PESD) is an international, interdisciplinary program that studies how institutions shape patterns of energy production and use, in turn affecting human welfare and environmental quality. Economic and political incentives and pre-existing legal frameworks and regulatory processes all play crucial roles in determining what technologies and policies are chosen to address current and future energy and environmental challenges. PESD research examines issues including: 1) effective policies for addressing climate change, 2) the role of national oil companies in the world oil market, 3) the emerging global coal market, 4) the world natural gas market with a focus on the impact of unconventional sources, 5) business models for carbon capture and storage, 6) adaptation of wholesale electricity markets to support a low-carbon future, 7) global power sector reform, and 8) how modern energy services can be supplied sustainably to the world’s poorest regions. The Program is part of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. PESD gratefully acknowledges substantial core funding from BP and EPRI.

  • Enviroserv Chloorkop Landfill Site Expansion Project Wetland, Soil and Land Capability Specialist Study Report
    ENVIROSERV CHLOORKOP LANDFILL SITE EXPANSION PROJECT WETLAND, SOIL AND LAND CAPABILITY SPECIALIST STUDY REPORT Report No.: JW100/19/6007-25 May 2019 Internet presence: www.jaws.co.za Synopsis EnviroServ Waste Management (Pty) Ltd own the existing Chloorkop Landfill Site (CLS) and operate it in terms of a waste management licence (Ref: 16/2/7/A230/D17/Z1). Municipal solid waste is received from the Midrand area, including the City of Johannesburg and the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. The CLS is located in the Chloorkop Industrial area on Portion 63 of Klipfontein 12-IR and is accessed from Marsala Road. The waste body at the CLS has finite airspace, defined by the permitted footprint, height and design parameters and will not be able to receive waste once it reaches airspace capacity. EnviroServ is proposing to expand the CLS in order to provide additional airspace for ongoing disposal of municipal solid waste. The proposal is to expand the Chloorkop Landfill Site onto adjacent properties (Erf 334 and 335 of Chloorkop Extension 6), CLS Expansion Project. The concept is to establish engineered, Class B waste disposal cells on the target properties for ongoing disposal of municipal solid waste. The additional waste disposal cells would join with the current CLS waste body. The facility will include a small Material Recovery Facility for the separation of clean recyclables from the waste. Supporting infrastructure would be integrated with the CLS and/or redeveloped as appropriate. A municipal road, Anker Street, separates part of the expansion area from the CLS and thus a phased approach is likely.
