The promise of new coal-fired power generation capacity in South Africa (post Medupi and Kusile), and in particular the promise of ‘clean coal’ technologies, has long been in the country’s planning pipeline, but has perhaps been short of a reality check as to the actual potential for delivery.

A new report by internationally renowned coal power plant expert Dr. Ranajit (Ron) Sahu confirms that the proposed 1500 MW of new coal-fired power generation capacity will cause significant air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, even if the cleanest technology currently available is used.

In this video, Chris Yelland, managing director at EE Business Intelligence, interviews Dr Ron Sahu to explore the subject of 'clean coal' technologies for South Africa.
