Leveraging our extensive Fischer-Tropsch experience
Expanding our G2LTM collaboration
with Topsoe
Building on our successful partnership,
Sasol ecoFT and Topsoe are working
to jointly license and develop technologies
for the production of sustainable liquid
fuels and chemicals using FT technology.
We offer customers integrated solutions across
the value chain as a single point licence to produce
sustainable synthetic fuels and chemicals –
specifically PtL or e-Fuels – using sustainable
carbon sources, green hydrogen and renewable
energy. In addition, we offer basic engineering,
catalyst, hardware and specialised technical
support.
Investigating Sustainable Aviation
Fuel production in Sweden
Sasol ecoFT and energy group
Uniper formed the SkyFuelH2 joint
venture to investigate the possibility
of establishing a facility in Sollefteå,
Sweden to produce SAF based on green
hydrogen and carbon from biomass using the
FT process. As part of the agreement, Sasol will
supply the FT catalyst and technical services and
market our share of the product on behalf of the
joint venture.
Together, we are also developing new
technologies, such as Topsoe’s electrified
reforming platform, solid oxide electrolysis and
Sasol’s next generation FT catalyst to maximise
product yields and enhance carbon- and
hydrogen-conversion efficiency. Ultimately,
this will help reduce fuel and chemical
greenhouse gas emissions.
Exploring the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel in Hamburg
Under the name ‘Green Fuels Hamburg’, energy
supplier Uniper, energy technology group
Siemens Energy, aircraft manufacturer
Airbus and Sasol ecoFT are investigating the
feasibility of producing CO2-neutral kerosene,
or PtL kerosene, in Germany.
Supported by the Technical University of Hamburg,
the Hamburg Senate and Hamburg Airport, Green Fuels
Hamburg aims to make a significant contribution to
decarbonising aviation. If feasible, the production
capacity would be at least 10 000 tons of green kerosene
annually from 2026, representing 20% of the blending
quota of PtL kerosene specified by the German
government in its PtL roadmap. The potential facility
would use the FT process to produce SAF from green
hydrogen and processed biogenic carbon dioxide.

Accelerating power-to-liquids (PtL) for near-carbon-neutral flights
German aircraft manufacturer Deutsche Aircraft and Sasol are working on a joint research project
for H2-SAF (PtL) applications, with plans to collaborate on the certification of sustainable
‘drop-in’ jet fuels and the ramp-up of PtL use in aviation.
With its D328 eco, Deutsche Aircraft is developing a plane that
will achieve near-carbon neutrality. It will be able to use any
certified SAF and regular kerosene, as well as PtL-based fuels.
Paving the way to
clean cement
Concrete Chemicals –
a consortium of Sasol ecoFT,
global cement producer CEMEX
and renewable energy company
ENERTRAG – is studying the
feasibility of clean cement
production by converting emitted
CO2 into renewable chemical
products and clean, synthetic fuels.
The partners will combine their
technical know-how in a feasibility
study in Rüdersdorf, Germany.
Sasol will contribute FT technology
to produce synthetic and Sustainable
Aviation Fuel; ENERTRAG will produce
green hydrogen with energy from
wind and solar plants; and CEMEX
will capture CO2 generated during
the production of cement.
Sasol ecoFT and Deutsche Aircraft join
forces to accelerate Power-to-Liquid (PtL)
aiming for carbon-neutral flight
The H2-SAF (PtL) application is a scaleable, long-term solution
to minimise the CO2 footprint of aviation. The process uses CO2
recycled from regular air and hydrogen, produced with green
energy, to form a synthetic fuel. Fuels like this have the same
performance characteristics as regular kerosene: high energy
density at low volume, proven safety and full compatibility with
established infrastructure. They also contain fewer aromatics and
sulphur, less CO2 emissions and non-CO2 or contrail effects.
As a first step in the research partnership, we will explore the
compatibility of materials and system components with blended
synthetic fuels produced through Sasol’s FT technology in our
existing coal-to-liquids (CTL) process.
