Mpumalanga’s Energy Evolution: From Coal to Gas
Mpumalanga is moving beyond its legacy as a coal stronghold to embrace a new role as a domestic gas hub. Kinetiko Energy’s Amersfoort project has officially confirmed the province’s potential for significant natural gas production. Following record-breaking tests in late 2025—where methane purity topped 98.5% and flow rates vastly exceeded commercial benchmarks—the project is transitioning toward a small-scale LNG pilot plant. This facility, slated for 2026, aims to provide local industry with a cleaner, more reliable alternative to traditional coal power.
