EXPLORING ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR COAL TRUCKERS IN A BIOMASS SUPPLY CHAIN

The document outlines job creation potential for coal truckers transitioning to biomass supply chains in South Africa, highlighting that lignocellulosic biomass offers the highest employment potential, with 3,076 driver jobs possible in coal regions alone.

• The lignocellulosic biomass and syncrude supply chain presents the highest employment potential for truckers, with the ability to create 3,076 driver jobs specifically within coal regions.
• Nationally, the lignocellulosic biomass supply chain could create 6,400 trucking jobs, of which nearly half (3,076) would be located in coal regions.
• Beyond new driver roles, the transition to biomass supply chains is expected to preserve most existing employment related to truck refuelling and maintenance.
• The document analyses four specific biomass-to-SAF supply chain options for job transfers: Solaris tobacco, A-molasses, industrial off-gas ethanol, and lignocellulosic biomass.
