• Short- to medium-term reductions,
including switching to lower- and
low-carbon energy sources
and additional process and energyefficiency improvements.
• Integrate and scale renewable energy
into operations.

2. 200MW is Sasol’s portion of the initial jointly procured 600MW in partnership with Air Liquide.
3. Having sold part of the Air Separation Units (ASUs) to Air Liquide, 800MW represents Sasol’s consumption of the total
1 200MW target for Sasol.
4. Incremental transition gas, if economically viable.
5. Targets include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, representing 95% of total emissions.

• Developed a just transition
roadmap with prioritised
interventions focusing on affected
workers and communities.

• Continuing to take steps
to respond to current and
projected future weather and
climate risk for our people,
surrounding communities,
business and infrastructure
• Using quality carbon offsets
as a last resort measure to
complement our three-pillar
emission-reduction framework.

MILESTONES AND ACTIONS
• Integrating cleaner alternative
feedstocks such as gas and green
hydrogen.
• Employing optimised processes
and sustainable carbon feedstocks
to reduce our emissions profile,
where viable.
• Collaboratively finding opportunities
to beneficiate our concentrated carbon
dioxide sources.

ADAPTATION AND
JUST TRANSITION RESPONSE
• Assess and define interventions to reduce emissions in the short (up to 2025) to medium term (2026 to 2035) and transform our
operations in the medium to long term (2036 to 2050).
• Communicating with our
stakeholders through
transparent climate change
disclosures.

scope 3 emissions.
7. Non-value-adding or redundant assets.
8. Net zero ambition follows a strict mitigation hierarchy prioritising on-site reduction before offsets.
9. In the best case scenario the fossil-fuel-free vision materialises, with no need for CDRs, while the worst-case net zero scenario
