Chifeng/Inner Mongolia – Sasol has commissioned Envision Energy to undertake a design study for a green hydrogen system at its Sasolburg operations, marking an important step in evaluating pathways to produce lower-carbon fuels and chemicals.

The collaboration was showcased during a visit by South African Minister of Electricity and Energy, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, to Envision's Chifeng Hydrogen Net Zero Industrial Park in Inner Mongolia, during the South Africa-China Energy Investment Conference.

The design study will assess the integration of renewable energy generation, storage and electrolyzer technologies to support the production of green hydrogen. Subject to the outcomes of the study and future investment decisions, the green hydrogen could be used in the production of e-methanol and potentially sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) at Sasolburg.

Sasol is evaluating opportunities to leverage its existing industrial capabilities and infrastructure while assessing technologies that could support its energy transition pathway and future market opportunities.
