South Africa's coal mining industry's comeback rides on Waterberg coal basin, says Frost & Sullivan

摘要

The global consumption of coal is expected to increase by 4% per annum between 2010 and 2030 in line with the rising global demand for energy. To boost production, the South African coal mining industry needs to open up new mines in the Waterberg coal basin to replace the depleted mines in the Highveld, Witbank and Ermello coalfields in Mpumalanga.
