Join us at the 21st Annual Southern African Coal Conference on 4-6 February, 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa!

Southern Africa’s coal industry faces a complex mix of challenges and opportunities ranging from finance and investment to logistics and geopolitics. At the 21st Annual Southern African Coal Conference, we look to unravel these complexities, bringing together the top industry leaders, government officials and experts to discuss the most pressing issues, including:

  • What will be the main drivers of South Africa’s coal market in 2026?
  • Which geopolitical risks could have the biggest impact on thermal prices?
  • Is the world moving closer to energy addition rather than energy transition?
  • Will coal benefit from the proliferation of AI and global data centers?
  • Will Transnet’s performance improve in 2026 with the arrival of private operators?
  • Could clean coal technologies prolong the life of Eskom’s aging coal plants?
  • What are the options for junior miners in 2026 and beyond?
  • What are the latest coal developments in Botswana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Tanzania?
  • What other surprises could be in store for the coal industry in 2026?

Join coal leaders and experts in Cape Town in February 2026 to gain actionable intelligence and make crucial connections to thrive in the new year. As an industry stakeholder, you can’t afford to miss the 21st Annual Southern African Coal Conference.
