Chemicals roadmap update
Sasol Chemicals is advancing efforts toward its 30% GHG reduction target. Progress across the different regions includes:
Eurasia:
• Eurasia is on track to contribute to the 30% GHG reduction target by 2030.
• Priority focus lies on reducing scope 2 emissions.
• Key achievements include signing PPAs at Marl, Brunsbüttel and Nanjing, resulting in reductions of approximately 30 ktpa.
• Sasol’s Augusta, Sarroch and Terranova, as well as the Novaky site in Slovakia, will also benefit from FY25 PPAs, resulting
in a total reduction of approximately 44 ktpa.
• Additional scope 2 reductions stem from utility providers in Marl (Evonik) and Novaky (SSE) transitioning from coal to
natural gas and nuclear energy, respectively.
• Augusta and Brunsbüttel are actively developing projects to reduce energy consumption, focusing on fuel gas.
North America:
• Despite global business challenges, Chemicals America maintains a multi-pronged approach to achieve its 2030 target.
• Capital-intensive reduction initiatives are temporarily on hold.
• The renewable energy procurement programme shifted from large Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs) to
a Green Tariff Agreement (GGO) with a local power supplier in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
• The GGO Agreement allows incremental uptakes of renewable energy, with the first increment set to reduce scope 2
emissions by 10 ktpa in FY25.
Recent initiatives:
• Successful implementation of initiatives over the past 18 months contributed 146 ktpa towards the 2030 target.
• Notable actions include closing the Oil City plant in Pennsylvania (11 ktpa reduction), optimising steam sources at the
Lake Charles facility (75 ktpa reduction) and utilising hydrogen-rich steam in the ethylene cracker (60 ktpa reduction).
Future strategies:
• Additional opportunities and levers for reduction include carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), electrification,
fuel swapping and additional hydrogen usage and energy optimisation.
