The Social and Environmental Consequences of Coal Mining in South
Applying this percentage directly to the usage of coal by the Netherlands, this would come down to 3.25 Mt/a of coal being mined in South Africa. This amount could possibly increase to 7.4 Mt/a with the contemplated building of additional coal-fired power stations. 3.25 Mt/a represents 3.6% of South Africa's total coal exports per year.

Anthracite
Anthracite coal is a highly carbonated fossil fuel that produces the most heat of any fossil fuel on the market, and its low sulphur content makes it a very clean-burning fuel. Bituminous coal is also known as "soft coal," while anthracite is known as "hard coal." Nakomati anthracite is a private company located in South Africa.
