Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. South Africa produces in excess of 260 million tonnes of coal (2003 estimate) and consumes almost three quarters of that domestically. Around 77% of South Africa's energy needs are directly derived from coal and 92% of coal consumed on the African continent is produced in South Africa. The use of coal in South Africa dates back to 300 AD when coal furnaces were used to melt iron and copper, but large-scale exploitation did not occur until the mid-19th century. The largest coal deposits in South Africa are to be found in the Ecca Group, a stratum of the Karoo Supergroup, dating from between 280 and 250 Ma. The Ecca Group is extensive, covering around two thirds of South Africa and contains more than a third of all coal reserves in the Southern Hemisphere.
