Pipelines for Operation Phakisa!

*Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) – Proposed Pipelines for Offshore Oil and Gas Lab*
Mining for gas is not viable unless there is a vast infrastructure to move the gas around the country. This map illustrates the proposed corridors. Now is the time to engage with this process, voice your concerns and ask questions.

To identify the most appropriate development corridors for the location of a Gas Pipeline Network and expansion of the Electricity Grid Infrastructure, CSIR has been appointed by the Dept Environmental Affairs to undertake the SEA Process, in collaboration with the SANBI. This process aims to pre-assess the environmental, social and economic constraints and opportunities for gas transmission pipeline within the proposed corridors.
The first Public and Authority Outreach took place in November 2017 to present the SEA Process and draft initial corridors to stakeholders. The initial corridors have subsequently been refined and specialist assessments undertaken to pre-assess environmental sensitivities within the proposed corridors.
*The following Public Participation Meetings are planned to present the draft findings of the specialist studies. You are invited to participate in the SEA Process by attending. *
