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.

This document is a pollution prevention plan submission by Sasol South Africa (Pty) Limited and Sasol Mining (Pty) Limited. It details the company's production processes for liquid fuels, chemicals, ammonia, and nitric acid, alongside its coal mining operations. The report provides greenhouse gas (GHG) emission data for 2015 and 2016, the methodologies used for these calculations, and a list of mitigation interventions aimed at reducing GHG intensity through energy efficiency and process improvements.

A letter from the South African Minister of Energy to the Centre for Environmental Rights regarding the government's energy policy and the coal Independent Power Producer (IPP) programme.

This document is a legal response submitted by ACWA Power Khanyisa Thermal Power Station (RF) (Pty) Ltd (ACWA) to the Minister of Environmental Affairs. ACWA objects to a condonation application by the NGO Groundwork, which seeks to appeal the integrated environmental authorisation for the Khanyisa Thermal Power Station. ACWA argues that Groundwork's notice of intention to appeal was filed excessively late and that the legal justifications provided—specifically the reliance on the Thabametsi judgment regarding climate change assessments—are legally unsound.

A court order from the Constitutional Court of South Africa dated 6 November 2019, dismissing an application for leave to appeal filed by Atha-Africa Ventures (Pty) Limited.

The Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) informed the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) that it would not provide written reasons for its decisions to finance the Thabametsi and Khanyisa coal fired power plants, arguing that such decisions are not 'administrative action' under the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, 2000 (PAJA) and are protected by client confidentiality.

The document establishes a standard directive for applicants for mining rights to submit a scoping report within 30 days of application acceptance. It defines 'consultation' as a two-way communication process and 'community' as historically disadvantaged persons with rights to a particular area. The guideline details the obligations of the applicant, including identifying and notifying affected parties, conducting meetings to assess impacts on cultural, socio-economic, and biophysical environments, and documenting these interactions through minutes and attendance registers. The resulting scoping report must include the methodology used, a description of the existing environment, an identification of anticipated impacts, and a description of the engagement process.

The document outlines how individuals can become activist shareholders by purchasing a single share in a company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) to gain the right to attend Annual General Meetings (AGMs). It explains that South Africa's Constitution and the Companies Act (2008) provide the legal basis for challenging corporate pollution and demanding transparency. The guide provides practical instructions on using broker platforms like Easy Equities, conducting research on fossil fuel investments, and formulating direct questions for corporate boards to push for a just transition.

A letter from the IPP Office to the Centre for Environmental Rights regarding the Coal Baseload IPP Programme and the appeal against the environmental authorisation for the Thabametsi Independent Power Producer Power Station.

This document is a formal response from the eMalahleni Local Municipality (ELM) to a questionnaire from the Centre for Environmental Rights. The questionnaire seeks to determine if air quality in the Nkangala District Municipality has improved since 2007. The ELM reports significant resource constraints, a lack of operational monitoring equipment, and an inability to confirm air quality improvements, noting that physical observations suggest pollution is worsening.

The report values South Africa's commercial fishing industry, highlighting its significant contribution to the Western Cape's economy and the risks posed by marine phosphate mining. It finds that the hake and small-pelagic sectors are the most economically valuable, with substantial spatial overlap between their fishing grounds and proposed mining areas. The analysis warns that mining could lead to habitat destruction, water quality deterioration, and loss of MSC certification, while noting significant uncertainty regarding the actual scale of these impacts.

This document is a data submission annexure from Hillside Aluminium for the 2018 reporting year, detailing activity data and greenhouse gas emissions related to aluminium production.

This document is a resubmitted Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP) from Hillside Aluminium (Pty) Ltd to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA), dated August 20, 2018. The resubmission follows a rejection of the initial June 21, 2018, filing due to missing pages and incorrect 2016 emission data. The report describes the aluminium production process at the Richards Bay facility and outlines a commitment to implement environmental projects over a five-year period.

It outlines the facility's operational processes for producing ferromanganese and details commitments to improve greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting and implement energy reduction projects.

This report provides a wetland ecological assessment for Phase 1 of the proposed ATHA Yzermyn underground coal mine in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Conducted by Scientific Aquatic Services (SAS), the study evaluates the Present Ecological State (PES), Ecological Importance and Sensitivity (EIS), and potential impacts of mining activities on local wetland systems, including channelled valley bottoms and hillslope seeps.

This document is a Social and Labour Plan (SLP) for Atha-Africa Ventures, detailing the company's strategies for employee training, community development, and socio-economic impact within the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa.

This document is an appendix containing a summary of the Social and Labour Plan (SLP) for Atha, outlining its commitments to socio-economic development in South Africa, specifically regarding human resource development and local economic development.

The document describes simulated groundwater table drawdown in the Karoo aquifer, noting that the zone of impact for the deeper fractured aquifer extends approximately 2 km north of the mine, though significant impacts are limited to areas immediately above the underground workings.

This document is a page from a groundwater model report by Yzermyn, discussing simulated groundwater table drawdown in the deep fractured Karoo aquifer and the potential impacts on springs and ecosystems.

The document identifies risks to various wetland systems and seep wetlands caused by underground mining, specifically the formation of a groundwater cone of dewatering. It proposes mitigation strategies including monitoring, grouting, and the treatment of decant water post-closure.
