Sasol Commits to Next Generation Catalyst Supply for e-SAF Pioneer INERATEC
Sasol Chemicals, a business of Sasol Ltd. (JSE: SOL: NYSE: SSL), and German startup INERATEC have signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) committing to the supply of Sasol's next generation catalyst as soon as the development cycle is completed in 2026. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: INERATEC operates the largest Power-to-Liquid (PtL) facility worldwide – called ERA ONE – for the production of e-Waxes and e-Fuels. The facility's annual production target of up to 2,500 tons of sustainable e-Fuels is enabled by Sasol's current state-of-the-art Cobalt FT catalyst. The introduction of the next generation catalyst will allow the facility to exceed the current capacity and improve the e-kerosene yield by 15%. 'To date, the necessary feedstocks for e-SAF, such as green hydrogen, are quite scarce,' explains Dirk Uys, VP Sales South African Chemicals. 'That's why improving yields is the most important lever we have at the moment to make large-scale commercialization feasible.' From the earliest tests to the recent plant opening, Sasol Chemicals has provided INERATEC with its benchmark catalysts based on the company's proprietary Fischer-Tropsch know-how. The LoI marks another milestone in the two companies' on-going collaboration, that also extends to the German-South African CARE-O-SENE research project, where both are consortium partners. The large-scale commercialization of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) is a cornerstone in de-fossilizing air transportation, with commitments from industry, politics and the scientific community to speed up development and commercialization. 'This is a fast-developing field. The start-up of ERA ONE early June 2025 is an important signal from INERATEC and we aim to stay a key player in the growing e-SAF market,' comments Tim Böltken, Founder and Managing Director INERATEC. 'Having an experienced partner like Sasol Chemicals is a hugely important aspect for our ambitions.' The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, on which Sasol's benchmark catalysts are based, was discovered and patented in 1925 by German chemical scientists Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch. Since the 1950s, Sasol has developed the process as proprietary technology, making the company the world leader in this field. Proven over the last 30 years, Sasol's Cobalt Fischer-Tropsch catalysts are currently the most reliable and effective of their kind. About Sasol Sasol is a global energy and chemicals company. We harness our knowledge and expertise to integrate sophisticated technologies and processes into world-scale operating facilities. We strive to safely and sustainably source, produce and market a range of high-quality products globally, creating value for our stakeholders.

Micronised Waxes of the Future: Sasol Chemicals Sets New Standards for CO2 Reduction in Inks, Paints and Coatings
JOHANNESBURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 20, 2025-- Sasol Chemicals expands its product line of micronised waxes with SASOLWAX LC Spray 30 G and LC Spray 30 G-EF – solutions with a 32% lower Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) compared to Sasol's market-leading products, Spray 30 G and Spray 30 G-EF. This milestone was achieved through optimisations in the Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) Fischer-Tropsch (FT) production process. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: (Graphic: Business Wire) 'At Sasol Chemicals, we are driven to deliver innovative solutions that help our customers achieve their sustainability goals,' said Vernon Jansen van Rensburg, Head of Sales & Market Development, Differentiated Portfolio, Sasol Chemicals. 'The introduction of these drop-in alternatives to our standard products is a logical next step following the recent introduction of our lower carbon waxes for hot melt adhesives and asphalt additives. At the same time, we maintain the exceptional performance of our class leading micronised products. We are proud of setting this new landmark with lower-carbon wax solutions which prioritise both quality and greenhouse gas emission reduction.' Micronised waxes offer superior performance across a variety of inks, paints and coatings formulations, including architectural coatings, powder coatings, can- and coil coatings, wood coatings and printing inks. SASOLWAX LC Spray 30 G and LC Spray 30 G-EF deliver exceptional surface protection, slip, rub resistance and gloss control, enabling manufacturers to produce high-quality end products while significantly lowering their CO2 emissions. Sasol's underlying calculation approach for PCFs has undergone critical third-party review, ensuring transparency and reliability in quantifying emissions. It complies with international standards, including ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and ISO 14067. Sasol's GTL FT waxes offer a range of benefits tailored for modern manufacturing requirements. Unlike mineral oil-based waxes, they are MOSH/MOAH-free. These products also fall outside the European Chemicals Agency's (ECHA) polymer classification, meaning they do not meet the definition of microplastics, aligning with evolving regulatory expectations. Additionally, Sasol's GTL FT waxes are free of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). As a leader in GTL-based Fischer-Tropsch technologies, Sasol Chemicals continues to innovate with sustainable solutions. The company's GTL waxes, produced from natural gas, are renowned for their consistent high quality, sulphur-free composition and excellent thermal stability. SASOLWAX LC Spray 30 G and LC Spray 30 G-EF build on this foundation by offering the same exceptional properties with the added benefit of a significantly reduced carbon footprint. For further information, please visit us at the European Coating Show in Nuremberg from 25 to 27 March in Hall 3 at booth 156 or visit our website. Sasol Chemicals partners with our customers, suppliers and communities to create innovative solutions for a better world. Our unique chemistry provides the building blocks for a sustainable future and is used by more than 6,500 customers in 120 countries in countless products that improve the quality of life for people around the world.
