Theuns Blom added that biofuel to be used for the proposed project will be sourced from the Mpumalanga area. The Biomass Co-Firing Demonstration Facility at Arnot Power Station is a pilot study. A pilot scale study was tested at a test site at the Rosherville MW facility in order for Eskom to get a feel of logistics involved. Eskom now want to try it on a full scale as part of their strategy to see how much biomass can be used to reduce the carbon footprint. -

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.

The Transvaal Highveld has one of the largest potentials for air pollution in South Africa. The area around Witbank and Middleburg in the eastern Transvaal Highveld, is highly industrialized with several coal-fired power stations, burning coal dumps and heavy industries. The pollution levels in this area have been the centre of much dispute in recent years, and yet little emphasis has been placed on the severity of atmospheric deposition despite the fact that acid deposition is a major world-wide environmental concern. This study focusses on the chemistry and severity of atmospheric depositions to the south and south-east of the Witbank-Middleburg Power and Industrial Complex. Bulk depositions were sampled at seven sites during the year August 1982 to August 1983 and rain samples covered five sites for four of the six months of the 1983/84 rainy season. -
Mercury Emissions from South Africa's Coal-Fired Power Stations
Mercury emissions from South Africa’s coal-fired power stations Belinda L. Garnham*1 and Kristy E. Langerman1 1Eskom Holdings SOC Limited, Megawatt Park, 1Maxwell Drive, Sunninghill, Sandton, [email protected], [email protected] Received: 8 August 2016 - Reviewed: 3 October 2016 - Accepted: 2 November 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2410-972X/2016/v26n2a8 Abstract Mercury is a persistent and toxic substance that can be bio-accumulated in the food chain. Natural and anthropogenic sources con- tribute to the mercury emitted in the atmosphere. Eskom’s coal-fired power stations in South Africa contributed just under 93% of the total electricity produced in 2015 (Eskom 2016). Trace amounts of mercury can be found in coal, mostly combined with sulphur, and can be released into the atmosphere upon combustion. Coal-fired electricity generation plants are the highest contributors to mer- cury emissions in South Africa. A major factor affecting the amount of mercury emitted into the atmosphere is the type and efficiency of emission abatement equipment at a power station. Eskom employs particulate emission control technology at all its coal-fired power stations, and new power stations will also have sulphur dioxide abatement technology. A co-beneficial reduction of mercury emissions exists as a result of emission control technology. The amount of mercury emitted from each of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations is calculated, based on the amount of coal burnt and the mercury content in the coal. Emission Reduction Factors (ERF’s) from two sources are taken into consideration to reflect the co-benefit received from the emission control technologies at the stations. -
1 Legislation, Performance Standards and the Dingleton Resettlement Dr
Legislation, Performance Standards and the Dingleton Resettlement Dr Gwendolyn Wellmann [email protected] www.gwendolynwellmann.com Abstract During the recent two decades, resettlement in South Africa has changed significantly, and whilst the country does not at this time have a national resettlement policy or a law specifically addressing resettlement, the process is supposed to be in accordance with the Constitution of South Africa and the country’s legal framework. On occasion, a private sector implementer will claim to adhere to international performance standards and policies of the International Finance Corporation (IFC). In December 2007, AngloAmerican Kumba Iron Ore announced that it will relocate the Dingleton town to another location, and the first group of Dingleton residents were resettled to temporary accommodation in late 2014. As of March 2021, the process is ongoing with at least 50 households still in temporary accommodation with no real end to the resettlement in sight, with the company suing resettled persons for rental in arrears for accommodation provided for them in company housing post-resettlement, with mediation and arbitration processes also ongoing for other cases. Background Dingleton was a town located adjacent to the Sishen Iron Ore mine, which is located near Kathu in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Sishen Iron Ore belongs to Anglo American subsidiary, Kumba Iron Ore. The town of Sishen was built in the early 1950s by the then state-owned mining company Iron and Steel Corporation (ISCOR), which was founded by the South African government in 1928. In 1989, ISCOR became the first South African state-owned entity to be privatized in a R3.7 billion deal that led to its listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange at R2 a share. -

Mining & Water Risk Management Case Study: Exxaro Resources Ltd
Mining & Water Risk Management Case Study: Exxaro Resources Ltd. Carly Fink Research Scholar Center for Sustainable Business June 2016 The Challenge Freshwater scarcity threatens numerous industries across the globe, including the metals and mining sector. Water is used in numerous activities in mining, from processing and dust suppression to transport. The sector is therefore highly dependent on a consistent supply of water. Yet, the need for adequate quality and high volumes, along with the resulting pollution from operations, expose the sector to numerous water-related risks. Further, many of the world’s mining reserves are located in water-scarce regions, such as Chile, South Africa, and the Middle East, where corporations compete with municipal, agricultural, and industrial demands. Conflicting demands for water can lead to temporary plant shutdowns or in worst case scenarios, loss of the license to operate, resulting in stranded assets and significant financial repercussions.1 According to the CDP, one third of reporting metals and mining companies had operations in regions of high water scarcity or water stress in 2013.2 92% of respondents also reported exposure to water risks that have the potential to impact their business now or within the next five years.3 Already, companies are experiencing physical, regulatory, financial, and reputational risks related to water that threaten their growth and license to operate. In 2015, almost two-thirds of companies in the materials sector reported experiencing detrimental water-related impacts. The top reported impacts were higher operating costs, transport disruption, and plant/production disrupt that led to reduced output. These disruptions have resulted in reduced CAPEX, lower revenues, increased operating costs, and reduced shareholder value.4 In fact, companies reported losses as high as 6.5% of EBITDA (FY 2011).5 As one of the most water- intensive industries, future mining growth depends on securing a stable supply. -
