NATIONAL ASSEMBLY QUESTION 881.
Mr L W Greyling (ID) to ask the Minister of Energy:
(1) Whether the state-owned mining company is involved in a coal-to-
liquids project; if so, what national strategic objectives are
being pursued by its involvement in such a project;
(2) whether an environmental management report has been done for
this project; if not, why not; if so, what will the projected
greenhouse gas emissions be from this plant? NW962E
REPLY
1. The state-owned mining company is not involved in a coal-to-liquids
(CTL) project. However, nothing precludes it from mining and supplying
coal as feedstock to a CTL facility or participating in a future CTL
project.
2. There is no environmental management report as there is no CTL project
being undertaken by the state-owned mining company.[pic]
