Coal mining occurs predominantly in Mpumalanga and Limpopo. As of 30 June 2023, there is an estimated 5,106Mt of coal reserves from operational mines. Approximately 48% of these reserves are based in Mpumalanga and 50% are based in Limpopo, with this being concentrated largely to one mine which has declared reserves of approximately 2,568Mt.
Manganese, aluminium keep South32 anchored in SA as energy coal sale picks up pace One of the biggest events in South Africa's coal mining sector this year is the sale of South32's South African Energy Coal (SAEC), a division of the Perth-headquartered company that produces about 28 million tonnes a year (Mt/y) of thermal coal of...
An interdisciplinary MIT faculty group examined the role of coal in a world where constraints on carbon dioxide emissions are adopted to mitigate global climate change.
