In 2022, South Africa's proved coal reserves accounted for per cent of the world's total (BP, 2022). These coal reserves are equivalent to GtCO 2, or 77 per cent of the global carbon dioxide emissions from energy sources in 2022 (see Figure 1 in the main report). The country does not have major proved reserves of oil and gas. Fossil fuel extraction and use. South …
· A large percentage of South Africa's coal power plants make use of coal with a relatively high ash content. The ash composition comprises of about 80% fly ash and 20% coarse ash. In the coal process, the coarse ash is quenched in the submerged scrapper conveyor (SSC) prior to it being conveyed onto the ash conveyor belt for final disposal into the ash dump. LCA …
· South Africans should not pin their hopes on Eskom's newest coal-fired power stations to help solve the load-shedding crisis either.

PART A: Review of the South African Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) Section 1: Overview of the REIPPPP The South African REIPPPP is a competitive tender process that has been designed to facilitate private sector investment into grid-connected renewable energy (RE) generation in South Africa.
· Building on an earlier study to analyse the implications of the 2022 coal power procurement programme, this study assesses the impacts of the inclusion of GW of new coal-fired power plants in the IRP 2022, using the South African TIMES model (SATIM). Because proponents of new coal plants typically use three arguments in support of new coal,
In both South Africa and India, coal transitions will likely have an outsized impact in certain areas because of the concentration of coal production in a handful of states. We focus on Mpumalanga and Jharkhand—two prominent coal-dependent regions in South Africa and India and analyze coal dependency and just transition prospects in these jurisdictions.
