South Africa is the largest coal producer in Africa and one of the largest in the world, producing 250 million tonnes of the fossil fuel a year. Coal is the country’s primary energy source. Other countries on the continent with considerable coal reserves (although much smaller than South Africa’s) include Zimbabwe, Botswana, Nigeria, Central African Republic, and Tanzania.
