UNDERGROUND COAL GASIFICATION AND POWER GENERATION PROJECT NEAR THEUNISSEN,
FREE STATE PROVINCE
 AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT SCOPING REPORT (DSR) FOR COMMENT
 INVITATION TO A PUBLIC MEETING
Dear Stakeholder
Background
African Carbon Energy (Africary) was established in 2007 as a BEE mining and minerals company and a
diversified energy producer in Southern Africa and abroad. The company has expertise in mining and
gasification, specifically underground coal gasification (UCG).
Africary has prospecting rights on the farm Palmietkuil about 26 km north-north-west of Theunissen in the
Free State Province and proposes to establish a UCG project with a 50 to 60 megawatt (MW) electrical
power plant.
UCG is an in-situ gasification process that converts coal deep underground into combustible gas, which is
extracted for beneficial use via boreholes. A comprehensive Background Information Document is appended
to this letter for your information.
Purpose of this letter
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process is being conducted in terms of the National
Environmental Management Act (NEMA), 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998), as amended, and the Environmental
Impact Assessment Regulations, 2010, as well as the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act
(MPRDA), 2002 (Act No, 28 of 2002) as amended, and the MPRDA Regulations, 2004.
Golder Associates Africa (Pty) Ltd, an independent company, is conducting the EIA process for the proposed
Africary UCG project.
The first phase of an EIA is the Scoping Phase. During this phase, interested and affected parties (I&APs)
are invited to register and to participate in the EIA process by identifying issues of concern and suggestions
for enhanced benefits, for consideration.
The Draft Scoping Report is being made available to stakeholders for comment on the EIA process. All
comments received will be considered during the Impact Assessment Phase.
Draft Scoping Report
The Draft Scoping Report is available for public review and comment for 40 days from Friday, 19 July 2013
to Wednesday, 28 August 2013 on the website www.Golder.com/public or at the public places listed below:

How long has Africary been busy with
research on the Underground Coal
Gasification (UCG)?
Mr Gert Cronje
Landowner, Theunissen
Public Meeting, Tuesday,
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
Africary started investigating the feasibility of the UCG
project in 2012. Some data was available from a previous
mining EIA that was done by BHP Billiton.
What percentage of UCG energy is used
in other countries worldwide?
Mr Gert Cronje
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
Such detailed information is not available. According to the
Zeus Development Corporation, a Houston-based energy
research company, more than 60 projects are in
development around the world.
Has other research been conducted in the
world relating to the negative impacts
such as explosions and contamination at
UCG plants?
Mr Gert Cronje
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
Yes, UCG exploration has been going on in Russia and
other countries for more than 70 years and there is a fairly
extensive body of literature on the subject, some of it
dealing with environmental impacts.
Is Africary aware of an explosion in
Queensland Australia that occurred at a
UCG plant during 2010?
Mr Gert Cronje
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
The UK-based Extreme Energy Action Network has
mounted a campaign against hydraulic fracturing (fracking)
and UCG in the UK and they have made references to
UCG-related exsplosions on their website. See www.frackoff.org.uk
Africary will take note of lessons to be learned from other
projects.
What are the plans and future
development for the whole area? Two
years ago BHP Billiton told us that there is
a lot of coal underground. It seems that
everything is not being revealed to us.
Mr Gerhard Cronje
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
We cannot comment on what BHP Billiton communicated
to the public, but they did prove substantial coal reserves.
Africary proposes to establish a 50-60 MWe demonstration
power plant on a portion of these reserves. Further
development will depend, inter alia, on the technical and
commercial parameters of the demonstration project.

As farmers, we do not know this UCG
technology, we haven’t heard much about
it. The public have not been given enough
time to undertake additional research in
order to understand the whole process of
this project, while Africary has been
planning this for years.
Mr Gerhard Cronje
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
The EIA consultants and the proponent would be happy to
have a separate meeting with land owners in the area and
discuss the technology in depth with them.
It is noted that some academic personnel
from the University of the Free State have
joined the public meeting, this is a positive
sign. Could other external specialists also
be involved to audit the work of the
consultants and the proponent?
Mr Gerhard Cronje
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
Thank you for your comment. Any stakeholder is welcome
to appoint specialists to ensure that due process is
followed by the consultants.
Please note that Molopo SA has been
awarded gas extraction rights in the
proposed project area. The proposed
project will infringe on Molopo’s right to
extract Coal Bed Methane (inter alia) in
the area.
Mr Robert Katzke, Molopo
Exploration and Production
(Pty) Ltd
Written submission.
One-on-one meeting,
Tuesday 13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel.
This matter will be resolved between Africary and Molopo
The coal seam does not just stop where
the Africary concession stops; it spreads
to a wider area. Like gold, it does not
remain only under one farm. Will the
burning not continue to spread along the
seam underground?
Mr Martin van der Merwe
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
The combustion requires fuel and oxygen. While the fuel
(coal seam) does extend far and wide, the oxygen is
strictly controlled. At that depth, there is no way that
oxygen can enter the gasifier other than via the injection
well. The spatial extent and the rate of the burn are
controlled by the oxygen injection point and the rate at
which the oxygen is supplied. If the oxygen supply is cut
off, the combustion stops.
The scope of this project is limited to the Palmietkuil farm
boundaries. This reserve is sufficient for 50MW power
generation for 20 years.

How will people benefit in terms of BEE?
Cllr Julius Sibisi
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
A Social Impact Assessment will form part of the specialist
studies done for the proposed project. This Assessment
will indicate the benefits for local procurement and
employment. As required by the MPRDA, a Social and
Labour Plan will be submitted together with the mining
right application.
What will the local economic benefits be?
Cllr Julius Sibisi
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
Whilst there are never enough employment opportunities
in any mining venture to satisfy the demand, communities
must consider the ripple effects of more people coming
into the area needing accommodation and food, transport,
entertainment etc. The Social Impact Assessment will
take local benefits into account.
How many people (farm employees) will
lose their jobs as a result of this land
being bought by Africary?
Mr Gert Cronje
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
No farmers or their employees will lose their jobs as a
result of the UCG project. The UCG plant will only occupy
a small area on the surface of the farm. The UCG process
will happen underground and will not influence any existing
agricultural or other economic activities on the surface.
This type of energy has certain
advantages and there are options for
carbon dioxide sequestration. We are
doing research on a fundamental level
and would like to work closely with you on
this project. We do have funds available to
enable us to give inputs and monitor if
necessary.

Electrical power generation via coal gasification produces
less CO2 per unit of power generated than the
conventional burning of coal in power stations.
Underground coal gasification also offers better
opportunities for carbon capture and storage. South Africa
contributes less than 1.5% of the world’s CO2 emissions

Can Africary assure people that the UCG
technology will not cause both human and
animal deaths?
Cllr Julius Sibisi
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
Thank you for your concern. Accidents can occur in any
type of industry. The UCG process is inherently very safe
because it takes place deep underground.
Construction and operations will comply with OHSA and
MHSA requirements. Extensive risk and safety
management will be applied.
The vibration of land from mining activities
can be felt far away. Will the vibrations
from your project affect people?
Cllr Julius Sibisi
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
UCG is not a mining activity, it is a thermo-chemical
process – there is no machinery or moving equipment
once the injection and production wells have been drilled.
Drilling will typically take place once every 4-7 years. The
UCG process will happen 350 m under the surface and
should not cause any vibrations to be felt at the surface.
What are the risks associated with both
explosions and pollution on animals?
Mr Gert Cronje
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
The risks of explosions in the gas cleaning plant and the
turbine combustion unit are well understood and will be
minimised by adherence to established industry standards
for design and operation of such plants. The potential for
pollution is also well understood for this type of project in
general, but it will be quantified for this project specifically
by means of specialist studies as detailed in Chapter 7 of
the Scoping Report
Will the process result in soil damage?
Cllr Julius Sibisi
Written comment
No, the ash that will be left after gasification will stay
underground. Upon decommissioning, the boreholes will
be sealed, the surface infrastructure will be removed and
the 2 – 3 ha site of the power plant will be rehabilitated
I would appreciate to discuss options for
baseline bacterial monitoring - even at my
research Platform's own costs. We have
done a lot of microbial work at Star and

What is the impact of the ash that remains
after the process? Will this not
contaminate the groundwater?
Mr Burger Kotze
13 August 2013,
Theunissen Hotel
The shallow aquifer (20-40m deep) that is accessible to
groundwater users is separated from the coal seam by
about 290m of solid rock and should remain unaffected.
During gasification, the hydrostatic pressure should ensure
inflow of groundwater from the deep aquifer into the
gasification chamber. After gasification the chamber will be
purged of combustion products to minimise the potential
for pollution of the deep aquifer over the long term.
Additionally, all wells will be cemented and fitted with a
steel lining to isolate the well from the surroundings.
