India's Jindal Steel and Power Company (JSPL) reportedly plans to start construction of a coal mine
in the Mmamabula coalfield in southeast Botswana in 2022.
The mine is expected to help the company supply
the proposed coal-fired power plant and export market.
The proposed mine is expected to have an annual capacity of 4.
5 million tonnes of coal
.
Neeraj Saxena, head of Jindal Steel Power in Botswana, said: "Work will begin next year and will be developed
in phases over two to three years.
Regional demand is increasing and the South African market is interested
in Botswana coal.
”
Contrary to the growing trend of abandoning fossil fuels, Botswana is still looking to develop its estimated 212 billion tonnes of coal resources
.
Earlier this month, at the COP26 climate conference, the Botswana government agreed to a global pledge
to reduce coal consumption.
However, the country withdrew its commitment to
terminate the issuance of new coal mining licenses.
Over the next 20 years, Botswana has pledged to increase the share of renewables in its electricity from the current 2% to 18%.
