The organization faced the problem of not having a single platform to efficiently monitor and manage its complex city infrastructure, which includes utilities like water, electricity, waste management, and traffic systems. It initiated a project to develop a centralized City Command and Control Center (C-4) to integrate these various systems using Internet of Things (IoT) technology on a single network. This would allow the city authorities to holistically oversee the city's infrastructure in real-time and address issues proactively. The project was implemented between July 2013 to June 2015, and involved developing smart infrastructure across buildings and utilities that could be remotely monitored and managed through the C-4 center.

This document provides an overview and recommendations for modernized bioenergy opportunities in West Africa. It summarizes that traditional biomass makes up 50-80% of energy consumption in West Africa but access to modern energy is low. Recommendations include focusing first on low-cost biomass resources like agricultural residues rather than energy crops, and prioritizing low-capital projects like improved cookstoves. Public-private partnerships and learning from other regions' experiences are emphasized to support bioenergy development and access to modern energy services in West Africa.

SIANI Expert Group: Food Security and Energy AccessSIANI
This document summarizes the work of an expert group examining the linkages between energy access and food security at the household level in sub-Saharan Africa. The group aims to bring public attention to the unexplored links between energy access and food security by identifying research gaps. The group's activities include reviewing literature on the impacts of energy access on food security, facilitating knowledge exchange, and suggesting areas for future research. The motivation is that limited research has addressed the connections between energy access and components of food security like storage, processing, and utilization. Preliminary findings show people adjust their livelihoods in response to fuelwood scarcity in ways that can impact food security, though more research is needed to better understand this relationship.

2. Coaltrans is delighted to return to South Africa to
present the 12th Coaltrans Southern Africa. The
past year has seen significant developments shape
South Africa’s coal sector, ranging from concerns over
power tariffs to ongoing regulatory debate. Whilst the
continued exploration and development of the Limpopo
coalfields signals South Africa’s enduring status as
one of the world’s most lucrative coal sectors, many
questions remain as to how these extensive assets will
be utilised. Southern Africa as a whole promises to play
a key
role in global coal dynamics in the years ahead. Join
us to understand how to position your business at the
forefront of these opportunities.
POWER GENERATION
Recent months have seen heated debate surround
South Africa’s power sector. As power demand
continues to climb, both within South Africa and further
across the SADC region, what is the best way forward
for increasing the availability of affordable power whilst
continuing to encourage growth in coal exports?
COAL SUPPLY CHAIN
Challenges across Southern Africa’s coal infrastructure
continue to underpin the rate of progress in regional
coal development.
As coal exploration stretches further afield, what
infrastructural plans are underway to facilitate
development, and how existing supply chain routes
are being adapted to improve co-ordination and
harmonisation across the region.
THE CHANGING FACE OF SADC
COAL PRODUCTION
Whilst South Africa remains one of the world’s leading
coal producers, key challenges are pushing the
industry to examine how the coming years will play
out. Hurdles ranging from water scarcity to the ongoing
skills shortage are some of the questions surrounding
the future of this influential market. However with
extensive untapped potential known to exist within
the junior mining sector and a wealth of opportunity
across the wider SADC region, the opportunities for
investment and innovation are great.
COAL BUYING DYNAMICS
Amidst reports that Indian thermal coal imports alone
more than doubled between November 2012 –
November 2013, how is Southern African coal being
affected by changing coal buying dynamics, both at
home and abroad? What are the key
factors shaping trends, and what does
the year ahead hold for coal prices?

8. Exxaro’s Grootegeluk Mine
The Grootegeluk surface coal mine operation is situated
in the Waterberg Coalfield. The latter has a strike length
of approximately 88km east-west and ±40km north-south
as defined in the Republic of South Africa, but extends
westward into Botswana.
The coal is beneficiated to produce a multi-product blend
of semi-soft coking coal and thermal coal. After about one
metre of topsoil has been removed, the overburden is drilled
and blasted before being loaded by hydraulic shovels
into trucks.
All thermal coal produced at the mine is sent to the Matimba
Power station at a rate of 14.5 million tonnes a year.
Eskom’s Matimba Power Station
The planning of Matimba as a base-load station began in
1978. The construction of Matimba started in 1981, and the
first unit was placed on commercial load in September 1987.
Its design is suitable for less water usage and therefore is well
located in Lephalale (previously known as Ellisras) where
water is scarce. Matimba is the Tsonga word for “Power” – It
is the largest direct dry cooling power station in the world,
an innovation necessitated by the severe shortage of water
in the area where it is situated. The station obtains its coal
from the adjacent Grootegeluk Colliery which has sufficient
coal reserves to guarantee Matimba a minimum lifespan of
35 years with a possible extension to 50 years at 3,600 tons
of coal per hour. The annual send-out power from Matimba
amounts to approximately 28 000GWh. Matimba is the
holder of the world record of 80 days for six units on load.
