for years to come (employment, exports).
•
260 Mt coal produced per annum
•
190 Mt coal consumption per annum

About SACCCS
• Established in 2009 as a leading authority for CCS
- a division of SANEDI;
• Mandate

• Capacity building
• State of readiness for CCS Project
• The role CCS plays in lowering CO₂ emissions
Hosted by
Government Support
“Developing countries are ready to play their part in
reducing global emissions, but obviously rich
countries have to take the lead”
“With financial and technological support from
developed countries, South Africa for example will be
able to reduce emissions by 34% below business as
usual by 2020 and 42% by 2025”
“We want a complete and legally binding agreement.”
- President Jacob Zuma, Copenhagen 2008

Pilot CO₂ Storage Project
• Objectives
• Demonstrate CO2 storage in
South African conditions;
• Gain experience and develop
South African capacity in handling
and storing CO2;
• Provide an educational facility for
public and stakeholders.
