Transitioning SA's Petrochemical Value Chain

Upstream

Upstream of Secunda and Sasolburg, consideration is given to a selection of the process inputs, both those currently required for production, and those that may be required to transition towards a Paris-aligned future:

  • Coal, mined and used for process and energy inputs.
  • Natural gas used for process and energy inputs.
  • Electricity, including that from the grid and that generated by Sasol, and from both fossil fuels and renewables.
  • Green hydrogen, produced from water in electrolysers using renewable energy.
  • Sustainable carbon, which may be sourced in various ways.
