This parallel report, submitted by the Instituto Internacional de Derecho y Medio Ambiente (IIDMA) and the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) to the Committee on the Rights of the Child, argues that Spain's continued reliance on coal-fired power plants violates children's rights to health and a sustainable environment. The authors highlight the severe respiratory impacts of air pollution on children and the contribution of these plants to global climate change, urging the Spanish government to phase out coal power.

A statement by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) responding to a National Post commentary, arguing that coal-fired power plants significantly impact air quality and public health through the emission of sulphur dioxide and fine particulate matter.

A briefing by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) discussing research on accelerated sea-level rise and the necessary emissions reductions for Canada to meet global climate targets.

A letter from a consortium of health groups to the Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change urging the federal government to phase out coal-fired power plants across Canada within ten years to improve public health and meet Paris Agreement commitments.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), representing groundWork, Earthlife Africa Johannesburg, and the Vaal Environmental Justice Alliance, filed an appeal on May 28, 2015, against the atmospheric emission licence (AEL) FDDM-MET-2011-08-P1 issued to Eskom's Lethabo Power Station. The appeal argues that the Fezile Dabi District Municipality failed to consider critical health impacts and ambient air quality standards when varying the AEL to incorporate the National Air Quality Officer's (NAQO) decisions to postpone compliance with Minimum Emission Standards (MES).

This document is a formal appeal submitted by the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) on behalf of groundWork, Earthlife Africa Johannesburg, and the Highveld Environmental Justice Network. The appeal challenges the variation of the Atmospheric Emission Licence (AEL) for Eskom's Hendrina Power Station, issued by the Nkangala District Municipality on 31 March 2015. The appellants argue that the AEL improperly incorporates postponements of Minimum Emission Standards (MES) granted by the National Air Quality Officer, thereby permitting pollution levels that exceed national standards in a declared priority area with already compromised air quality.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) submitted a letter to the Department of Environmental Affairs on 24 June 2014, arguing that Eskom failed to conduct necessary health impact assessments for its applications to postpone Minimum Emission Standards (MES). The CER highlights expert estimates of significant premature deaths and economic costs resulting from Eskom's emissions and notes that Eskom previously withheld its own internal health risk reports from the public.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), representing several community and environmental groups, submitted a formal reply on 24 March 2014 challenging Eskom's applications for postponement from the Minimum Emission Standards (MES). The CER disputes Eskom's claims that its power stations have a marginal impact on air quality and health, arguing that Eskom's Atmospheric Impact Reports (AIRs) are anecdotal, use insufficient modeling domains, and fail to quantify the health risks associated with secondary PM2.5 formation and mercury emissions.

The Centre for Environmental Rights, representing various community and environmental groups, submitted formal objections on 14 February 2014 against Eskom's application to vary the Atmospheric Emission Licence (AEL) for the Duvha Power Station. The objections center on the potential for increased particulate matter (PM) emissions, flawed environmental modelling, and the contradiction of the Highveld Priority Area's air quality goals.

The AES Corporation, an independent power producer, faced a conflict between its 'least-cost' strategy—which relied on coal—and its commitment to social responsibility. To address the projected 15 million tons of carbon emissions from its Thames plant in Connecticut, the company evaluated several offset options, including energy conservation, carbon scrubbing technology, and reforestation in tropical developing countries, while also considering a long-term strategic shift toward natural gas or renewables.

This document is the conclusion and appendix of the Hendrina Power Station Energy Services Consolidated Life-ex Report. It evaluates the feasibility and requirements for extending the operational life of the coal-fired power station, comparing the costs and risks of life extension against the construction of new plants.

This document provides a technical critique by consultant Dr. Ranajit (Ron) Sahu regarding Eskom's applications to suspend compliance timeframes for Minimum Emissions Standards (MES) at various coal-fired power plants. The author argues that Eskom's justifications for delays—including plant decommissioning, water scarcity, and capital costs—are untenable or substantially inflated, and suggests alternative technologies to achieve emission reductions.

Dr. Ranajit (Ron) Sahu, acting as a consultant for the Centre for Environmental Rights, provides a technical critique of the South African Department of Environmental Affairs' (DEA) proposal to increase the Minimum Emission Standard (MES) for sulphur dioxide (SO2) from 500 mg/Nm3 to 1000 mg/Nm3 for coal-fired power plant stacks.

This document is a submission from Eskom to Working Group 5 of the SABS Sub-Committee 146A regarding the setting of Minimum Emission Standards. The proposal, adapted from European Union Directive 2001/80/EC, outlines Eskom's recommendations for emission monitoring, reporting, and compliance assessment, specifically tailored for the power generation sector in South Africa.

A 2009 statement from Eskom to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) regarding draft minimum emission standards. Eskom expresses support for the standards as a long-term goal but argues that the proposed timeframes and limit values are practically and financially unfeasible for its existing power station fleet due to resource constraints and economic impacts.

This document is a formal response from Eskom to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) regarding an application to postpone compliance with Minimum Emission Standards (MES) for the Arnot Power Station. It provides specific stack emission limits, outlines Eskom's lack of plans to upgrade the station for certain pollutants, and presents ambient air quality monitoring data from the Hendrina station.

This report analyzes the public health and economic consequences of Eskom's failure to comply with South Africa's Minimum Emissions Standards (MES). It compares various compliance scenarios, concluding that Eskom's current retrofit plan provides minimal health benefits due to a failure to address sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions, and that full compliance or the adoption of Best Available Technology (BAT) would significantly reduce premature deaths and economic losses.

This report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) evaluates the air quality, health, and economic impacts of the proposed Lephalale Coal Mine (LCM) and its associated independent power plant (IPP) in South Africa. The analysis identifies significant underestimates in a previous environmental impact assessment (EIA) and projects substantial premature deaths, morbidity, and economic losses over the project's 35-year lifecycle, particularly if coal is burnt at existing power plants lacking emission controls.

This 2017 annual emission report for the Lethabo Power Station details pollutant emissions for the 2016/2017 financial year (April 1, 2016, to March 31, 2017), as required by the station's Atmospheric Emission Licence.

This report details the methodology and emissions inventory used for an air pollution health risk analysis concerning the existing Matimba Power Station and the proposed Project Alpha Power Station in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. It describes the use of CALMET and CALPUFF dispersion models to simulate pollutant concentrations and the subsequent application of dose-response relationships to estimate health risks, specifically total non-accidental mortality and respiratory hospital admissions.
