In addition, Total markets coal to French customers through its subsidiary CDF Énergie.

With the start-up of production on the Tumelo mine in January 2009, the subsidiary Total Coal South Africa (TCSA) owns and operates four mines in South Africa. A fifth mine is under development in Dorstfontein with a start-up expected in late 2011. The Group is also looking into several other mining development projects.

South African coal, produced by TCSA or bought from third-party’s mines, is exported through the port of Richard’s Bay in which Total has a 5.36% interest. In 2008, TOTAL and its partner Mmakau Mining acquired an additional 1 Mt/y of harbor handling rights through the interests they hold in the fifth phase of the port’s development.

Total sold approximately 7.3 Mt of coal worldwide in 2009 (compared to 8.4 Mt in 2008 and 10 Mt in 2007), mainly intended for power generation, of which 3.6 Mt was South African coal. Half of this volume was sold in Europe and the other half in Asia. On the South African domestic market, sales amounted to 0.3 Mt in 2009, primarily destined for the industrial and metallurgic sectors.
