Thungela and the Council for Geoscience (CGS) announced their collaboration in research into emissions reduction technologies, specifically focusing on carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS).
Jabu Ndlovu, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Thungela, said “we are committed to embracing technologies that reduce emissions from coal combustion, ensuring a sustainable global future. As a coal producer and exporter, we recognise the importance of adapting and mitigating emissions.”
Ndlovu said through this partnership, Thungela will contribute to climate change efforts, by developing and implementing geoscience-based solutions that support national priorities and international climate agreements.
Mosa Mabuza, CEO of the Council for Geoscience, said about the newly formed partnership, “less than 2 weeks ago, Minister Mantashe called for stronger public-private partnerships, to help SA meet its climate commitments. Today’s signing represents a collaborative effort to drive research, development and implementation of geoscientific programs.”
