International Chemicals (IC) roadmap
IC is advancing efforts towards its 30% GHG reduction target, with progress across the
different regions.
IC is making progress towards its
30% GHG emission reduction target.
At the end of FY25, actual emissions
were ~23% lower than the FY17 baseline.
Emissions reduction efforts contributed
~12% (337 ktpa), the remainder is due to
lower unit utilisation.
Balancing cost and climate ambition, we
plan to reduce a further 650 kt over the
next five years, to reach the 30%
reduction target, through a range of
cost-effective CO2 reduction solutions.
These planned solutions fall into four categories:
A Renewable electricity: Through implementation of a virtual PPA (VPPA)
for Lake Charles and PPAs and guarantee of origins (GO) for Sasol Italy.
A Low carbon utilities: Through procuring bio-methane for Augusta and
low-carbon steam for Brunsbüttel/Marl.
A Process energy efficiency: Through implementation of energy savings
projects or process optimisations in Brunsbüttel, Marl, Augusta and Lake
Charles.
A Business optimisation: The continuous strengthening of the business alters
the asset portfolio.

International Chemicals reached
a significant milestone in its
commitment to reducing greenhouse
gas emissions through a virtual
power purchase agreement (VPPA)
with Akuo, a French independent
producer of renewable and
distributed energy which will cut
approximately 90 000 tons of annual
CO2 emissions. We will purchase
91 megawatts of renewable power
per year – about 50 percent of the
annual electricity consumption at
our Lake Charles Chemicals Complex
starting mid-FY27.
