In March 2012, the Minister of Public Enterprises asked all SOCsto implement energy saving initiatives in buildings under theirmanagement. In response, Transnet has taken the following steps: divisions and Transnet Property to introduce everydayelectricity conservation measures and manage emergencyswitch-off where required; water tanks to heat pumps, power factor correction to controlpeak power consumption, a building management system toreduce air conditioning plant consumption and lightingcontrol, installation of prepaid meters to ensure correctrecovery of electricity consumption, introduction of naturallighting, replacing electrical stoves with gas, introductionof temperature sensors in geysers and in air conditioningsystems and the insulation of piping to retain temperatures; implemented to record electricity use and action plans forevery building in Transnet on a monthly basis; being implemented to reach all Transnet employees; Management programme are replacing inefficient lighting inspecified Transnet buildings; and efficiency in lighting, heating and cooling solutions atits manufacturing sites and depots.The energy efficiency focus for 2012/13 targets initial savingsper unit of production, wherever immediately feasible, and aimsto improve the Company’s systems, equipment and technologyfor monitoring consumption and savings. These steps will befollowed in subsequent years by more specific energy efficiencymeasures appropriately designed for different parts of thebusiness.COAL LINE100 NEW CLASS 19ELOCOMOTIVES10,0% ENERGYREGENERATEDIRON ORE LINE44 NEW CLASS 15ELOCOMOTIVES20,0% ENERGYREGENERATEDSustainability performance: Environmental dividendsEnergyefficiency targets2012/13ElectricityefficiencymeasuresTargets 2012/13% savingson 2011/12DieselefficiencymeasuresTargets 2012/13% savingson 2011/12Freight Rail traction kWh/ton km 3,0% Litres/ton km 3,0%Freight Rail property kWh/m 2 3,0% n/a n/aRail Engineering kWh/man-hour 4,0% Litres 4,0%National Ports Authority kWh 4,0% Litres –Port Terminals kWh/ton 5,0% Litres/ton km 2,7%Transnet Property kWh/m 2 5,0% n/a n/aPipelines n/a 0% n/a n/aSustainability Report 201271
Environmental dividends (continued)Climate change mitigation and adaptationSouth Africa made an international commitment in 2009 to reduce its GHG emissions by 34,0% and 42,0% by2020 and 2025 respectively; to plateau emissions for 10 years thereafter; and to decline emissions from2036. In October 2011, Government released the National Climate Change Response White Paper, aiming overthe next two years to establish sector-specific GHG emission reduction outcomes and carbon budgets whichwill translate into company-specific emission reduction outcomes. Companies and economic sectors will berequired to submit mitigation plans to achieve the desired outcomes. Carbon pricing, with a possible carbontax, will then be introduced.In February 2012, the DPE advised SOCs to develop specific climate change strategies in line with theirmandates that support a low-carbon economic growth trajectory with opportunities for green industryjobs growth.As a first step in embedding a climate change response strategy into our business, Transnet completed itscarbon footprint study in 2011/12. Transnet will be participating in the voluntary Carbon Disclosure Projectfrom 2012/13.For the year 2011/12, Transnet accounted for 4,31mt C0 2equivalent. This is approximately 1,0% of the SouthAfrica’s total transport sector emissions and approximately 10,0% of South Africa’s total GHG emissions in2011/12. Transnet ranks as the 10 th largest GHG emitter in South Africa in 2011/12. South Africa is a majorcontributor globally, ranking 14 th in GHG emissions.EskomSasolBHP BillitonArcelorMittalSAAnglo AmericanGold FieldsPPCHarmony GoldEvraz Highveld SteelTransnetSappiMondi Group16,616,410,55,95,35,04,64,34,22,070,9230,30 50 100 150 200 250Million tons CO 2equivalentSource: Carbon Disclosure Project, 201272
