In contrast to the growing number of countries seeking to wean themselves off coal, Zimbabwe is opening new coal mines that authorities say will allow the country to meet its energy needs and, eventually, become an exporter of the polluting fuel.
Coking coal, also called metallurgical coal, is turned into a fuel used for smelting in steel production. Ncube estimated that the new mining operations in Hwange — nine of which have started or completed construction since 2018 — will add a surplus of about 5,000MW to Zimbabwe’s power capacity. In a hard-hitting report released earlier in August, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change pointed the finger squarely at the burning of fossil fuels by humans as one of the main drivers of global warming, warning it is already too late to stop decades of future climate disruptions.
The new mining operations, which will produce coking coal for domestic use and export, are also expected to unlock about 1,000 much-needed job opportunities in the province, Moyo said.But Fidelis Chima, co-ordinator for the Greater Whange Residents Trust , a non-profit community group, said there was no need to dig down when Zimbabwe only has to look up for cleaner sources of energy.
