(Thu, 26 Oct 2017) South Africa produces small amounts of crude oil and natural gas and must rely on its domestic coal production to fuel its electricity sector and crude oil imports to feed its refineries. Additionally, South Africa has one of the world’s largest synthetic fuels industries and uses proprietary technology to convert coal and gas to liquid. South Africa has struggled with power shortages in recent years, which spurred development in electricity capacity fueled by coal and renewable energy over the past two years.
