Thungela Resources CEO July Ndlovu said yesterday the coal miner was investing in geoscience solutions to curb carbon emissions after the company signed an agreement to drive Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) research.
Signed with the Council for Geoscience (CGS), the agreement seeks to advance geoscientific initiatives related to climate change mitigation.
As a coal producer and exporter, we recognise the need to adapt and mitigate emissions from the burning of coal, said Ndlovu.
He said the agreement with the CGS was demonstrative of Thungelas commitments to active participation in climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.
By working with the CGS, we are investing in geoscience-based solutions that support national priorities and international climate agreements, including South Africas Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement, said Ndlovu.
