In 2025, Sasol achieved an ~20% Group net reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our 2017 baseline. This was driven by a combination of factors:
- Lower production volumes, which reduced gross GHG emissions by 13.5% relative to 2017.
- Operational factors, including lower pure gas throughput, reduced steam production, and enhanced stability in the Secunda gas circuit.
- Methodology improvements, with a revision to the emissions calculation methodology at the Secunda gas production unit, leading to a restatement of FY24 emissions.
- Expanded Energy Reduction Roadmap (ERR) levers, now incorporating sustainable market mechanisms.
- Carbon offsets, where 3.8 Mt CO₂e credits were retired by SA Energy and Chemicals, contributing significantly to the 19% net reduction from the 2017 baseline.
- Energy efficiency gains, with Group energy efficiency improving by 2.9% year-on-year, particularly at Secunda Operations and Chemicals Eurasia.
The reduction was primarily driven by a decline in Scope 1 emissions, partially offset by an increase in Scope 2 emissions due to higher electricity imports as internal electricity generation decreased.
