INTRODUCTIONRISKS AND OPPORTUNITIESOUR FUTURE SASOL STRATEGYGOVERNANCEDATA AND ASSURANCEIMPROVING OUR EMISSIONS REPORTINGAs part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we undertake periodic reviews and updates to our GHG inventory,its methodologies and emission factors. We do this to enable a well-designed and maintained corporate GHG inventory andto continuously align with the IPCC and GHG Protocol.Methane emissions from Mozambique OperationsRestatementsRecent divestments and improvements to our GHG inventory calculations necessitated a review of our2017 baseline for Sasol Energy, including removal of specific sources of emissions. A high-level summaryof these updates are indicated in the graph and points below:• Secunda Operations removed scope 2 emissions relating to the sale of the ASUs to Air Liquide forthe years 2017 to 2021;• Secunda Operations reviewed scope 1 emissions from 2017 to 2019 based on independent technicalaudit findings, with improvements made to the calculation methodologies; and• Sasol Mozambique reviewed scope 1 emissions to include methane sources not reported from 2017.Since 2004, Sasol has been calculating and reporting CO2 emissions from flaring activities and fuel gascombustion at our main operating site in Mozambique, the Central Processing Facility (CPF). At COP26, thedecisions taken relating to methane emissions, coupled with stakeholder issues (see page 9 - 10), promptedus to focus on these emissions and undertake a review of our emissions inventory, particularly in Mozambique.As a result, we identified additional methane-emitting activities and added these emissions to our inventory.The scope of the review included detailed mapping of all potential sources, development of a baselinemeasurement approach for additional emitting activities and collection of emissions data. Internationaland South African GHG quantification methodologies were used to calculate emissions. Where physicalmeasurement methods or country specific guidelines did not exist, methodologies aligned to internationalbest practice, such as those developed by the IPCC, were leveraged.Two main methane sources were identified:• Mozambique Operations (inclusive of the operating wells, pipelines to the CPF and the CPF); andSasol Energy 2017 re-baselining2 0511.9%-0.1%1 18963 00063 92664 000-3.2%Minorrestatementsover the last5 years62 000Assessments indicate that ~819 ktCO2e were emitted for our Mozambique Operations in 2022 (see table below),of which methane was ~16kt (~368 ktCO2e), excluding the Pande-4 well. These calculations have been assuredby an independent third-party specialising in technical verification of GHG inventories.

This well had experienced a catastrophic blow-out in1965, resulting in the operator at the time implementing multiple interventions over 400 days to controlthe well. Further interventions took place over the years and the well appeared stable. However, todaywater and small quantities of gas are being emitted in the surface area surrounding the well.61 00060 0002017 previous baselineSecunda Scope 2Secunda Scope 1Others2017 re-baselinedSasol Mozambique’s emissions for 2022tCO2tCH4tN2OtCO2eOperationalFugitive emissionsFlaring emissionsFuel gas1 85334 070420 83315 7400,67,500,060,75363 88034 102421 227Total operational emissions456 75615 7480,81819 209SASOL CLIMATE CHANGE REPORT 202211
