The coal mining industry is one of the most important industries in South Africa. It’s responsible for providing electricity to the country and even contributes to the country’s GDP.
Coal mining is a process that extracts coal from underground, usually by digging. The coal is then processed into coke, which can be used as fuel or in steel making.
How South Africa Uses Coal as a Major Energy Source
South Africa is a major coal producer and exporter. The country has the largest coal reserves in Africa.
Coal-fired power plants produce electricity by burning coal, which releases energy as heat. The heat is then used to boil water and create steam, which turns turbines that generate electricity.
The benefits of coal-fired power plants include clean air, cheap energy, reliable power supply, and low emissions.
