  • The National Air Quality Officer granted a postponement of compliance with minimum emission standards for new plants for the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2025 for three specific categories: Coke Oven H2S Recovery (requiring a recovery efficiency of at least 90% for sulphur-containing compounds), Coke Battery Combustion (with a limit of 90mg/Nm3), and Sinter Plants (with a limit of 80mg/Nm3).
  • The application for an alternative limit regarding the Coke Battery (Subcategory 3.2) was declined. The Coke Production facility must perform and report emission measurements quarterly until 31 March 2022, after which limits will be determined.
  • ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited (Newcastle Steel Works) is required to submit quarterly progress reports on its compliance roadmap, commitments made during the postponement application, and the implementation of offset projects. The first report was due by 1 July 2020.
