Coaltrans is delighted to return to South Africa to present the 12th Coaltrans Southern Africa.The past year has seen significant developments shape South Africa’s coal sector, ranging from concerns over power tariffs to ongoing regulatory debate. Whilst the continued exploration and development of the Limpopo coalfields signals South Africa’s enduring status as one of the world’s most lucrative coal sectors, many questions remain as to how these extensive assets will be utilised. Southern Africa as a whole promises to play a key role in global coal dynamics in the years ahead. Join us to understand how to position your business at the forefront of these opportunities.
POWER GENERATIONRecent months have seen heated debate surround South Africa’s power sector. As power demand continues to climb, both within South Africa and further across the SADC region, what is the best way forward for increasing the availability of affordable power whilst continuing to encourage growth in coal exports?
COAL SUPPLY CHAINChallenges across Southern Africa’s coal infrastructure continue to underpin the rate of progress in regional coal development.
As coal exploration stretches further afield, what infrastructural plans are underway to facilitate development, and how existing supply chain routes are being adapted to improve co-ordination and harmonisation across the region.
THE CHANGING FACE OF SADC COAL PRODUCTIONWhilst South Africa remains one of the world’s leading coal producers, key challenges are pushing the industry to examine how the coming years will play out. Hurdles ranging from water scarcity to the ongoing skills shortage are some of the questions surrounding the future of this influential market. However with extensive untapped potential known to exist within the junior mining sector and a wealth of opportunity across the wider SADC region, the opportunities for investment and innovation are great.
COAL BUYING DYNAMICSAmidst reports that Indian thermal coal imports alone more than doubled between November 2012 – November 2013, how is Southern African coal being affected by changing coal buying dynamics, both at home and abroad? What are the key factors shaping trends, and what does the year ahead hold for coal prices?
