'CLEAN' COAL?:

Water pours from an excavator bucket as coal is extracted from below the water's surface at an opencast mine in India. Taken four years ago, this picture of drenched coal arising out of a water-filled pit is indicative of the potential environmental mixing and matching that can occur with mining. India, which does not demand the high grades of coal previously associated with South African coal exportation, has become a major recipient of coal dispatched from the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT), in KwaZulu-Natal, in recent years. During 2017, 81% of the coal loaded at the RBCT was delivered to India, Pakistan and South Korea, with 10.1% going to Europe and 7.8% to Africa.
