The creation of a formal public-private platform to assess solutions to a pending “gas cliff” for industrial consumers in South Africa points to the fact that the issue is finally being taken seriously by all stakeholders, Industrial Gas Users Association of South Africa (IGUA-SA) executive director Jaco Human tells Engineering News. The task team is being led by the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition and the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy and includes IGUA-SA and its members, as well as Eskom, the Central Energy Fund (CEF) and Sasol.
