Creamer Media’s Real Economy Year Book has been divided into separate reports under the banner Real Economy Insight, and investigates key developments in the automotive, construction, electricity, road and rail, steel, water, coal, gold, iron-ore and platinum sectors. The pumps sector has also been included as a new addition.
This eight-page brief is a synopsis of key developments in the coal sector over the past 12 months. It provides an overview of the global and South African coal markets and the role of coal in South Africa’s economy, with a particular focus on the role of coal in the generation of electricity.
This brief has been compiled using information published in Engineering News and Mining Weekly, as well as of information available in the public domain, and does not purport to provide analysis of market trends.
