Sasol is an integrated oil gas company with
substantial chemical interests. In South Africa, these operations
are supported by mining coal and converting it into synthetic
fuels and chemicals through proprietary Fischer-Tropsch technology.
The company
also has chemical manufacturing and marketing operations in
Europe, Asia and the Americas. Its larger chemical portfolios
include polymers, solvents, olefins and surfactants and their
intermediates, waxes, phenolics and nitrogenous products.
The
group explores for and produces crude oil in offshore Gabon,
refines crude oil into liquid fuels in South Africa, and retails
liquid fuels and lubricants through a growing network of Sasol
Convenience Centres. Sasol also supplies Mozambique natural
gas to customers and to its petrochemical plants in South Africa.
The company recently opened its first gas-to-liquids facility
outside of South Africa at Doha in Qatar and is in talks with
China regarding the possible establishment of coal-to-liquid
plants in China.
Sasol's focus is on the manufacturing, refining
and marketing of automotive and industrial fuels and oils, with
a growing interest in gas. Its entry into hydrogen- and methane-rich
gas production and exploration has extended into southern and
West Africa.
In the industry, Sasol provides premium fuels and lubricants
that meet or exceed stringent specifications. It also produces
jet fuel, fuel alcohol and illuminating kerosene.
Sasol is a
signatory of Responsible Care, a worldwide initiative that strives
to improve performance in safety, health and the environment.
