South African energy and chemicals group Sasol, which is under increasing pressure to lower its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, has indicated a willingness to participate in demonstration projects aimed at deploying its Fischer-Tropsch assets in combination with 'green hydrogen', produced from renewable energy and water using electrolysis. Sasol's current hydrogen-production methodology involves the use of coal and water in a process that is highly carbon-intensive. This coal-based hydrogen is, in turn, used in Fischer-Tropsch reactors to produce a suite of products, including diesel and kerosene, or jet fuel. view more

A Proudly South African continuous miner, which is being shipped to Australia for final assembly, is due to go into operation Down Under in May, Mining Weekly Online can today report. "It certainly shows that the Australian mining industry has gained a lot of confidence in our ability," said Danie van Wyk, the CEO of JA Engineering Works, the exporter of the remotely controlled Wildcat JAE42A, which was designed and manufactured by JAE in Jet Park, Boksburg, and which has a high local content of 90%. JA Engineering Works is a 200-employee, 30.5% black-owned original-equipment manufacturer of not only continuous miners but also shuttle cars, roof bolters and feeder breakers, all of which are powered by grid electricity or large generators. The company is also a leading manufacturer of battery scoops, which are powered by direct-current batteries.

Dusty Hakskeenpan, in the Kalahari desert, is not exactly the place one expects a bunch of Brits to hang around during a hot African summer. It's 260 km from the nearest big town - Upington - and average daytime temperatures hover somewhere in the mid-thirties, if not higher. But, the men and women who started to descend on one of the world's flattest surfaces from October onwards were not ordinary tourists. They were here as part of a hunt to set a new land-speed record. view more

Incoming Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter can expect a rocky start to his tenure as boss of the troubled power utility, as the National Union of Mineworkers plans to demonstrate and hand him a memorandum on his first day in the office. The Num has been disgruntled at Eskom lately, not least due to what the union calls an increasing workload and plummeting morale as a result of load-shedding, which escalated to stage 6 earlier this week. President Cyril Ramaphosa and Eskom leadership said on Wednesday that sabotage likely played a role in some of the system failures that forced Eskom to implement the latest round of load-shedding. This comes against a backdrop of the highly anticipated Special Paper on Eskom, and the planned unbundling of the power utility into three entities - generation, transmission and distribution. De Ruyter is due to start serving as Eskom CEO on January 15 next year. Num energy sector coordinator Paris Mashego told Fin24 on Thursday that the union planned to demonstrate on his first day at the office. view more
