Advancing Global Chemical Safety: Sasol’s Commitment to International Cooperation

Since 2023, Sasol has been a proud advocate for chemical safety and security through its active support of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)) Capacity Building Programme. In partnership with the South African Department of
Trade, Industry and Competition, Sasol hosted four candidates for three weeks, offering them practical industry experience.

The OPCW is committed to the global eradication of chemical weapons and preventing their re-emergence by enforcing the Chemical Weapons Convention. A key component of this mission is the beneficial relationship with the chemical industry, exemplified by the Industry Candidate Training Program. This program fosters cooperation by training industry professionals in compliance, safety, and security measures related to chemicals.

Sasol’s collaboration with the OPCW ensures that industry partners are well-equipped to support the OPCW's verification regime and contribute to a safer, chemical weapon-free world. Over the past two years, Sasol has supported these four candidates, focusing their research on:

  • Endocrine disruptor classification processes
  • Studies on the phase-out of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in firefighting foam
  • Security aspects during the life cycle of Sasol products
  • Green hydrogen safety

By engaging in these critical areas of international cooperation, Sasol not only enhances its own safety and security protocols but also contributes significantly to global chemical safety and security initiatives. This commitment underscores Sasol’s dedication to fostering a safer and more sustainable world.

Gas Solutions

Gas for coal transition

  • Switching from coal to gas is one of the most immediate ways to cut carbon emissions while improving energy efficiency. Sasol provides a secure, consistent gas supply as a cleaner-burning alternative, helping industries lower their environmental footprint without sacrificing performance. This practical, transitional solution is a vital step towards a diversified, low-carbon energy portfolio.

Renewable Energy

Renewable energy – Wind and power generation

  • From harnessing the wind to generating reliable renewable power, Sasol is expanding South Africa’s clean energy mix. We design integrated renewable energy projects that reduce carbon intensity while maintaining a dependable supply for your operations. Whether powering industrial facilities or supplementing grid capacity, our solutions deliver operational stability and environmental benefits that support your long-term energy strategy.

Biofuels

Biofuels – Renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel

  • We’re redefining fuel for a low-carbon future. Sasol’s renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel deliver the same performance and chemical properties as conventional fuels, but can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% on a lifecycle basis.
  • Produced from sustainable feedstocks such as moringa and solaris vegetable oils, these fuels are fully ‘drop-in’, meaning you can use them in existing equipment, infrastructure, and aircraft without costly modifications. By developing a local, cost-effective feedstock supply chain, we ensure these solutions are both scalable and sustainable.
