This document is a formal submission from Sappi Southern Africa Limited to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs, dated 15 December 2017. It provides Pollution Prevention Plans regarding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in accordance with the National Pollution Prevention Plans Regulations (General Notice No. 712). The report details the production processes of five specific facilities and reports Scope 1 emissions, noting that while absolute emissions may increase due to production upgrades, emissions per ton of product are decreasing.

• Sappi Southern Africa Limited reports that its Pollution Prevention Plan focuses exclusively on Scope 1 emissions. The company notes that absolute emissions may increase as operations are upgraded to increase production, although the emissions per ton of manufactured product are reducing. Additionally, the company states that sequestration and carbon sinks are currently excluded from their emission reporting, though biogenic CO2 from production processes is included.
• The document describes the production processes and emission sources for five facilities: the Lomati Sawmill, which uses biomass-fired boilers for timber drying; the Ngodwana Mill, an integrated Kraft mill using coal, bark, and black liquor for steam; the Saiccor Mill, which focuses on cellulose production using coal and magnesium fired boilers; the Stanger Mill, which uses bagasse and coal-fired boilers to produce paper; and the Tugela Mill, which produces pulp and lignosulphonate using coal and natural gas fired boilers.
• The company utilizes a monitoring methodology aligned with the National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting Regulations, specifically employing Tier 1 and Tier 2 emission factors from the 'Technical Guidelines for Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Industry (April 2017)'.
