facilities, a portion of these products are used in further
downstream facilities. Nameplate capacity represents
the total saleable production capacity. Due to the
integrated nature of these facilities, the requirement for
regular statutory maintenance shutdowns and market
conditions, actual saleable volumes will be less than the
nameplate capacity.
Smaller production sites can be found at the
site Novaki in Slovakia, Linz in Austria and
Birkenhead in the UK.
The following table summarises the main
production nameplate capacities of the chemicals
segment globally. Due to the integrated nature of these

Within the individual product groupings, capacities are shown integrated. Capacities are rounded to the nearest 100kt. “X” indicates that the
location produces the specific product grouping.
(2)
Ethylene and Propylene: Predominately used for internal production of derivatives. In the Americas, this represents our historic ethylene
cracker plus Sasol’s 50% of our LIP JV cracker.
(3)
Polyethylene, Polypropylene and PVC. In the US, this represents Sasol’s 50% share in the LIP JV.
(4)
Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) in Eurasia partly used to produce Surfactants internally.
(5)
Paraffins mainly consumed for LAB production.
(6)
C6+ Alcohols partly used for production of Surfactants.
(7)
Ethylene Oxide (EO) and derivatives such as Butyl Glycol Ether (BGE), Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) and Amines. Ethylene Oxide
predominantly used to produce Surfactants.
(8)
Business divisions include Performance Solutions (PS), Essential Care Chemicals (ECC), Advanced Materials (AM) and Base Chemicals
(BC).
(9)
Inorganics in Europe and the US mainly as a co-product from the Alcohol-Ziegler process, part of our AM business division.
