“Developing countries are ready to play their part in reducing global emissions, but obviously rich countries have to take the lead”

“With financial and technological support from developed countries, South Africa for example will be able to reduce emissions by 34% below business as usual by 2020 and 42% by 2025”

“We want a complete and legally binding agreement”- President Jacob Zuma, Copenhagen 2009

South Africa: committed to addressing climate change

Geological Storage Atlas

• Identifies Potential CO2 Geological Storage Regions

• Launched by Minister of Energy 10 September 2010

• Atlas Report released January 2011

Geological Storage Atlas

Next Steps

Geological Storage Atlas

• Potential Storage Areas• Four Geological Basins

• Un-mineable Coal Seams

• Geological Basins1. Orange Basin – off-shore

2. Outeniqua basin – off & on-shore

3. Zululand Basin – off & on-shore

4. Karoo Basin – on-shore

16

Atlas Summary• Potential Storage [excluding Karoo]

• 150Gt

• 98% Offshore

• Need 4Gt to Store 40Mt/year

• Further Investigation:

• Karoo under further Investigation [starting with IEA GHG]

• Zululand Basin to ‘Effective Level’ [UK Govt]

• Onshore Outinequa Basin to ‘Effective Level’ [Europe Aid]
