By Kim Harrisberg. DURBAN, Sept 29 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — To understand why South Africa is the continent's biggest greenhouse gas emitter, look to the vast coal-fired power stations that dot the plains of Mpumalanga province. Mpumalanga has eight coal plants within a 100-km (62-mile) radius and recent research showed it was the world's second …
This is South Africa's coal belt. Here, miners dig up about three-quarters of the coal that fuels one of the world's most coal-fired economies. The sooty stuff provides 27% of …
Because proponents of new coal plants typically use three arguments in support of new coal, namely that it is cheap; that it is important for jobs; and that power systems require coal plants for "baseload", the study will briefly outline the literature that refutes these claims, using examples and evidence globally and in South Africa.
However, overall, coal production in the NDC scenario declines by 1.1% per year between 2017 and 2050 in a least cost energy pathway for South Africa. This points that there is a need for planning for South Africa's due to the relative economics of new supply options alone. Even with limited implementation of climate change policy, coal is no ...
Even if Eskom decided to stick with coal, the company says it would need more than $20bn to make its ageing coal power plants compliant with South Africa's current minimum emissions standards.
Over 90% of South Africa's power currently comes from coal, however it plans to get this down to 46% by 2030, and down to 30% by 2050. The country's new energy plan envisions wind power supplying 15% of its electricity by 2030, solar 11% and hydro 10%, topped up with 16% gas and 1 GW of new coal plant.
Asian economies are continuing to build new coal-fired power stations. SA should allow privately owned coal power stations to compete with Eskom. We need to allow the coal economy to grow and create jobs. New pollution reduction technology can be applied, as China has done. There is no reason to stop coal power when it is so abundant here.

But it only mentions the partial decommissioning of Eskom's 16 coal-fired power plants and of reducing South Africa's reliance on coal for energy to less than 20% by 2050. The document appears ...
On July 21, 2020, the South African NGO groundWork secured a court victory shutting down the proposed 600 MW Khanyisa coal-fired power plant in the Mpumalanga province. At a time when coal and other fossil fuels generate 91 percent of energy in the nation, this win builds momentum for a cleaner energy system and speaks to the growing movement …
South Africa's energy department has said it will start preparing for the end of coal-for-power use in the country but cautioned that a …

South Africa does in fact have two mega-coal plants of recent construction, both theoretically producing almost 10,000 MW of power together, while consuming 30 million mt per year (mtpy) of coal. These have, however, been plagued with design faults and construction overruns, and Eskom's own experts doubt they will run to nameplate capacity.
South Korea is South Africa's third largest export destination. Its net zero emissions by 2050 target will see its coal-fired power plants increasingly replaced by renewable energy.. Outside of South Africa's three biggest export destinations, there is rapidly declining hope for further opportunity in other markets.
"South Africa, as such a big coal generator, and with so many opportunities to quickly replace coal generation with clean electricity, would need to be collapsing its coal generation much faster ...
