General
According to the 2010 BP Statistical Energy Survey, South Africa ended 2009 with coal reserves of 30408 million tonnes. This equates to 3.68% of the world total. South Africa has Africa’s only significant coal reserves.
South Africa ended its 2009 coal production with 250.02 million tonnes, 4.13% of the world total. The world’s major producers are China, the USA, India, Australia, Russia, Indonesia and South Africa.
South Africa ended 2009 coal consumption with 99.43 million tonnes oil equivalent, 3.03% of the world total. South Africa is Africa’s only significant coal consuming nation.
Production
South Africa is currently the fifth largest coal producing country in the world, producing, on average, around 224 million ton of marketable coal each year. Currently, about 77% of South Africa’s primary energy needs are provided by coal. Due to the relative lack of suitable alternatives, this situation is unlikely to change over the next 10 years.
Coal’s role as a fossil fuel is likely to become increasingly important in a world in which concerns over energy security are rising and demand for energy is growing strongly. According to the World Coal Institute, proven coal reserves are sufficient to sustain production at current levels for 147 years.
According to the 2009 BP Statistical Energy Survey, South Africa had 2008 coal production of 250.39 million tonnes, 4.24% of the world total. South Africa’s coal production was valued at approximately R59.9Bn in 2009.
According to the 2009 BP Statistical Energy Survey, South Africa had end 2008 coal reserves of 30408 million tonnes, 3.68% of the world total. This figure differs somewhat from those published by Eskom in 2009, which state that South Africa’s coal reserves are estimated to be 53 billion tonnes.
Demand
South Africa is the world’s third largest coal exporting country, exporting 25% of its production internationally. South Africa uses 53% of the balance of its coal production for electricity generation, 33% for petrochemical industries (Sasol), 12 % for metallurgical industries (Iscor) and 2% for domestic heating and cooking. Eskom is the 11th largest electricity generator in the world, while Sasol is the largest coal-to-chemicals producer.
The main challenge to the ongoing use of coal as an energy source is environmental concerns.
About 51% of South African coal mining in carried out underground, with the balance produced by open cast methods. The industry is highly concentrated, with a handful of companies producing about 80% of the saleable coal production. More than 58 000 workers are employed in this industry.
Uses and Roleplayers
Most of the country’s coal is currently mined in the Highveld, Witbank and Ermelo coalfields located in Mpumalanga province. Geology has determined that the Witbank coalfield is by far the most important source of South Africa’s mined coal at present. However, the future of South Africa’s coal industry depends on the development of the Waterberg deposits, which extend into Botswana.
Throughout history, coal has been used as an energy resource, primarily burned for the production of electricity and/or heat, and is also used for industrial purposes, such as refining metals. A fossil fuel, coal forms when dead plant matter is converted into peat, which in turn is converted into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, after that bituminous coal, and lastly anthracite. This involves biological and geological processes that take place over a long period. The Energy Information Administration estimates coal reserves at 948×109 short tons (860 Gt). One estimate for resources is 18 000 Gt.
Coal is the largest source of energy for the generation of electricity worldwide. Coal is extracted from the ground by coal mining, either underground by shaft mining, or at ground level by open pit mining extraction
