This document is a confidential briefing regarding an engagement between Sasol and Deputy Director General Judy Beaumont of the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) on November 3, 2012, focusing on air quality improvement and emission abatement scenarios at the Secunda complex.

This report provides an economic and technical evaluation for the life extension of the Hendrina Power Station, focusing on necessary interventions to maintain operations until 2025. It details required upgrades for boiler, turbine, electrical, and common plant areas, emphasizing the trade-offs between refurbishment and replacement to ensure reliability, safety, and legislative compliance.

This report section details the legislative and technical compliance requirements for the life extension (Life-ex) project at the Hendrina Power Station. It covers safety regulations for pressure equipment and boiler structures, emission limits under the South African Air Quality Act, and a comprehensive list of mandatory Eskom and international standards for turbine, electrical, and common plant areas. The document identifies specific areas of non-compliance, particularly regarding emissions, transformer maintenance, and environmental management of waste and water systems.

This executive summary submission to the Eskom Board Social, Ethics and Sustainability Committee provides an update on the company's environmental performance, compliance status, and associated risks as of end January 2017. It details emissions and water performance, legal contraventions, pre-compliance notices from the Department of Environmental Affairs, and progress on biodiversity and bird mitigation strategies.

This briefing document, submitted to Eskom's Board Social, Ethics and Sustainability Committee on 29 May 2017, provides an update on the organization's environmental performance, compliance status, and risk management for the 2016/17 financial year. It details emissions and water usage metrics, legal contraventions, the progress of air quality improvement and offset projects, and the implementation of biodiversity and bird mitigation strategies.

The Grootvlei Power Station Annual Emissions Report for the 2016/17 financial year, submitted by Eskom to the Chief Air Quality Licensing Officer, details the station's pollutant emissions, the progress of a particulate matter reduction project, and compliance with atmospheric licenses.

This document is a response from Eskom to a request for information by the Centre for Environmental Rights. It reveals that Eskom does not have standalone decommissioning or emission reduction plans for its coal stations, but instead manages these through broader air quality strategies. A 2010 strategy included in the text outlines a prioritised approach to meeting Minimum Emission Standards, highlighting significant constraints such as water scarcity in the Highveld and the high cost of retrofits (estimated at R28 billion CAPEX in 2009 terms), while suggesting 'offset projects' as a cheaper alternative to technical upgrades.

This document is a response from Sasol South Africa Ltd to a request for information under the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA), dated 18 May 2009. It provides a detailed list of emissions and environmental data, including air pollutants, water usage, and waste management, while citing various legal and commercial reasons for withholding specific detailed datasets.

A letter from Sasol South Africa Limited to the Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries regarding the company's commitment to air quality management and sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions.

This executive summary, submitted to Eskom's Board Sustainability and Ethics Committee on 20 May 2016, details the company's environmental performance, compliance risks, and legal liabilities for the 2015/16 financial year. It highlights failures to meet emissions and water usage targets, significant financial requirements for air quality compliance, and specific legal breaches of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) and the National Water Act.

This March 2013 executive summary and accompanying board minutes detail Eskom's 'Environmental Compliance and Performance Journey Map'. The document outlines a strategy to address systemic environmental non-compliance, specifically regarding air emissions, water usage, and biodiversity, while acknowledging that production pressures and resource constraints have hindered the utility's ability to meet statutory standards.

This guide from the Centro de Movilidad Sostenible outlines three methods for vehicle homologation to certify compliance with emissions, efficiency, and safety requirements, enabling the implementation of vehicle labeling, consumption standards, and incentives for cleaner vehicles.

The Environmental Loadings Factors screen is a tool within the TED data pages used to specify and manage environmental effects for technologies, allowing for the entry of numeric values or expressions for loading factors such as emission factors.

This guide explains how to reference data variables, results variables, fuel variables, and constants within expressions in the LEAP software to create models with both exogenous and endogenous variables.

This guide describes the Geographic Mapping screen in LEAP, which allows users to create named lists of raster-based GIS data sets to allocate emissions to grid squares for visualization in interactive maps.

This guide explains how to specify up to three pollution control technologies, such as SOx scrubbers or particulate filters, when providing environmental data for energy technologies in the TED system.

This guide describes the mapping functionality within the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP), detailing how users can visualize energy and environmental results geographically using MapWinGIS integration.
