Creamer Media’s Real Economy Year Book has been divided into separate reports under the banner: Midyear Brief (MYB), and investigates key developments in the automotive; agriculture; construction; energy; hydrogen; roads, rail and ports; steel; water; manufacturing; pumps; coal; gold; iron-ore and platinum group metal sectors.
This brief is a summary of sources of information published on the Engineering News and Mining Weekly websites, as well as of information available in the public domain.
The Coal MYB is a three-page synopsis of key developments in South Africa’s coal sector over the past 12 months. The sector still dominates the country’s energy mix, however, it is no longer economically viable to send coal by road to ports for export.
This brief does not purport to provide an analysis of market trends.
