Sasol Limited is an integrated chemicals and energy company headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. The firm is best known for its proprietary Fischer-Tropsch technology, which converts natural gas or coal into high-quality liquid fuels and chemical feedstocks. Through its gas-to-liquids (GTL) and coal-to-liquids (CTL) processes, Sasol produces diesel, kerosene, naphtha and a wide range of specialty chemicals, serving customers in transportation, plastics, agriculture and consumer goods markets.
In addition to its synthetic fuel operations, Sasol manufactures an extensive portfolio of chemical products, including polymers, solvents, waxes and surfactants. The company also produces ammonia and various fertiliser grades for agricultural use. Its research and development facilities focus on improving process efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and expanding the application of its chemical technologies into new market segments.
Founded in 1950 to support South Africa’s liquid fuel independence, Sasol has grown into a multinational enterprise with operations spanning Africa, North America, Europe and Asia. Key assets include the Secunda CTL facility in South Africa—one of the world’s largest coal-based synfuels complexes—and the Lake Charles Chemicals Project in the United States. Sasol holds upstream interests in gas fields in Mozambique and participates in global research collaborations aimed at advancing low-carbon energy solutions.
