<\/b>Eskom CO2 data<\/strong><\/b><\/b><\/h3>

Under the Paris Agreement, South Africa has pledged that the country\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions will be within a range between 398-510 Mt CO2-eq by 2025 and between 350-420 Mt CO2-eq by 2030. Historically, electricity accounts for approximately 42% of national greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve this target, the country will need to invest in lower or zero-emitting technologies, as the current coal-fired electricity generation fleet reaches the end of its life.<\/p>

The CO2<\/sub>\u00a0figures reported below are calculated figures based on coal characteristics and power station design parameters based on coal analysis and using coal burnt tonnages. Figures include coal-fired and gas turbine power stations, as well as oil consumed during power station start-ups.<\/p>

Note:<\/strong> The figures reported quarterly are indicative and may differ with those published in Eskom annual Integrated report.<\/p>
