The document is a Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP) for Anglo American Coal South Africa (AACSA) covering the period from 2016 to 2020. It outlines the company's energy and carbon emission management plan (ECO2MAN), detailing emission sources, calculation methodologies, and planned mitigation measures for its South African coal operations.

• For the year 2016, AACSA's actual emissions were 532,749 tCO2e, which was 4,086 tCO2e lower than the projected carbon budget of 536,833 tCO2e.
• AACSA identifies two primary sources of Scope 1 emissions: fugitive methane released during coal mining and the combustion of fossil fuels in mobile machinery.
• The company is implementing Advanced Process Control (APC) technology at three coal processing plants to improve efficiency, with the first installation expected to be operational in March 2019 and the remaining two in Q4 2019.
• AACSA has installed continuous methane monitors at Zibulo Colliery and a new ventilation shaft at Greenside Colliery. This technology is intended to provide more accurate emission readings rather than reduce actual emissions, as the company believes current IPCC Tier 2 estimates for South Africa may be overestimating fugitive methane.
• The scope of the PPP changed over time; Eskom-tied mines (New Vaal, New Denmark, and Kriel) were included for 2016-2017 but were removed from the scope for 2018-2020 due to their planned sale by January 2018.
• Methane flaring occurs only intermittently at the New Denmark Colliery, with a calculated flare efficiency of 98%.
