Optimised emission reduction roadmap (ERR)
Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements demands a strategic approach that balances innovation with profitability.
This is achieved through the development of comprehensive roadmaps and the implementation of integrated solutions.
Creating confidence in our ability to deliver on roadmaps
The optimised ERR is now more economically attractive than the previous base case while still allowing us to meet our
compliance obligations and reach our decarbonisation targets. The optimised plan is still on track to deliver 30% GHG
reduction by 2030.
Building trust in our ability to meet environmental and climate commitments is critical to
securing our licence to operate and sustaining stakeholder confidence. At Sasol, this is
underpinned by a strong track record of executing complex compliance roadmaps through
integrated planning, technical excellence, and disciplined delivery.

• We have developed and refined site-specific environmental roadmaps that enable
compliance while maintaining safe, reliable production.
With our optimised ERR, we can
decarbonise and:
• Our integration of technical solutions – such as reusing incinerator feedstock in gasifiers –
demonstrates our engineering agility and problem-solving capability.
Achieve air quality compliance
~2 GW renewable energy
• Tangible progress on our air quality roadmaps reflects focused investment, regulatory
alignment, and delivery discipline.

As we transition to a lower-carbon future, we will continue evolving our roadmaps with the
same level of rigour and agility that has characterised our environmental compliance efforts
to date.

Sasol’s optimised ERR demonstrates our ability to lower our carbon footprint while continuing to deliver value. In 2025,
we made key adjustments to the roadmap that allow us to maintain stable production while improving emissions
performance. These include:
• Transitioning away from recycling fine coal and
progressing more effective alternatives, significantly
reducing capital costs.
• Expanding our renewable energy ambition to 2 GW
to replace a greater portion of coal-based electricity
with cleaner, cost-effective power.
• Continuing to use carbon offsets and renewable
energy credits (RECs) to provide flexibility for
emissions that are currently hard to abate.
At the same time, we are clear that coal will continue to
play a role in our energy mix as we transition at a pace
that makes sense across operational, economic, and
social considerations. Our approach reflects a careful
balance between advancing decarbonisation, maintaining
affordability, and sustaining our operations and broader
socio-economic commitments on the path toward a
lower-carbon future.
