Coal continues to be the leading energy generator

41% of the world's electricity is currently powered by coal, and consumption is expected to remain the same over the next 30 years, and with rising prices and strong demand for coal in southern Africa, coal will not be ignored in the ever-growing competitive energy market ...

There is strong demand for coal in southern Africa, and it is likely to remain the most affordable fuel for electricity generation in many developing and industrialized countries for decades.

The API4 marine thermal coal export price index has risen significantly and is currently trading at USD 97 per tonne, up 98% from 2016. Although it is expected that in the next five years, prices will be stable to about $ 80 per tonne, and there is an investment opportunity in the industry.

In December 2017, the International Energy Agency predicted that global demand for coal would reach 5.5 billion tons in 2022, up from 5.3 billion tons in 2016. The report says that while renewables and nuclear are the world's fastest growing forms of energy, fossil fuels are expected to continue to meet most of the world's energy demand until 2040.
