5.Represents 95% of total Group emissions. This excludes Mozambique, Natref and some
strategic business units.
6. Represents a combined Sasol Energy and Chemicals restated 2017 baseline due to
divestments and methodology improvements (see page 11).
7.Reviewing the Sasol Chemicals baseline for 2017 as actual operating efficiencies at LCCP
units are better than design specifications used to determine base year emissions.

TARGETS
FOR 2022
1.
GHG emissions have been calculated and reported in accordance with the GHG
Protocol (www.ghgprotocol.org) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) 2006 Guidelines, data breakdown provided on page 56.
2.
See text in insert “Emission reductions since 2017”. Group emissions do
not equal target baseline.

Target
8.Natref, Mozambique and some strategic business units are excluded from our 2030
GHG target. Target setting for Natref will be undertaken in consultation with our Joint
Venture (JV) partners.
Achieved a ~7% reduction off the combined Sasol
Energy and Chemicals restated 2017 scope 1 and 2
baseline, equating to a 4,4 MtCO2e reduction:
▪ The lower emissions profile relative to 2021 is largely
attributable to reduced production rates at Sasol
Energy, which also results in a higher GHG intensity;
▪ In 2021, Sasol provided guidance to the market
that Secunda’s production would be between 7,4 and
7,5 Mt; however due to lower than targeted production
in 2022 our GHG emissions are lower than anticipated;
▪ We expect production to normalise to levels of 7,2 to
7,5 Mt in the coming year which will likely result in a
higher emissions profile for Secunda in 2023;
▪ Our scope 2 emissions at Sasol Energy are higher
because of an increase in purchased electricity to allow
for the diversion of internal gas from power production
(gas engines and turbines) to the process, as well as an
increased grid emission factor; and
▪ For Sasol Chemicals, we are seeing benefits from shifts
to renewable energy and implementation of process
and energy efficiency improvements. Implementing
artificial intelligence carbon dioxide measurement
tool at our Lake Charles Chemicals Complex. Further
information to be disclosed in future reports.
Overall, we remain on track with our commitment
to achieve a 30% reduction by 2030.
