This document is an internal Air Quality Strategy from Eskom, a South African state-owned electricity utility. It outlines a framework to reduce atmospheric emissions of particulates, sulphur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and heavy metals from its power stations to ensure compliance with South African legislation, specifically the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act, No 39 of 2004 (NEMAQA). The strategy details specific emission targets based on plant age, proposed technical retrofits, resource requirements, and the integration of air quality management with water, coal, and climate change strategies.
