Operations18
1. For the Sasol Energy and Chemicals businesses (excluding Natref and Mozambique).
2. For Category 11; applicable to Sasol Energy.
3. Reduction milestones have been developed for the context within which we operate and based
on ability to reduce emissions. Sasol Energy has limited opportunities for reduction by 2026, as
compared to Sasol Chemicals.
4. For combined Sasol Energy and Chemicals baseline and due to production variances and mitigation.
5. Power purchase agreement.
6. Msenge Emoyeni project (20-year PPA), in addition to the committed 1 200MW procurement.
Demonstrated 10% higher SAF
yields19 with Sasol’s proprietary
G420 catalyst through the CAREO-SENE research programme
7. Sasolburg Midlands solar photovoltaic (PV) project to kick-start green hydrogen production.
8. South African Energy Efficiency Confederation.
9. Initial 600MW procured jointly with Air Liquide, of which 200MW is Sasol’s portion.
10. For our Eurasian and North American sites.
11. Resulting in 230 tCO2e reduction to date.
12. Reducing feedstock costs and allowing Sasol to re-evaluate timing of potential liquefied natural gas
(LNG) intake, PT5-C is a Mozambique gas exploration-licence area where we hold a 70% interest.
13. International Sustainability and Carbon Certification.
