Petrographic, mineralogical, morphological and organic constraints of the Permian shaly-coal in the Tuli Basin of Limpopo-Area Karoo-Aged basin, South Africa: Implication for potential gas generation

The transition to a low-carbon energy source from coal has become imperative to mitigating the escalating climate change crisis. This study aims to investigate the organic-rich shale core samples of the Limpopo-Area Karoo Basin, retrieved from the borehole at depth 480–580 m. These samples were subj...
