technology and production


our main south african production processes
Hydrocarbon feedstock production
Sasol Mining supplies the feedstock coal we need for our Secunda petrochemical plant. Through Sasol Petroleum International (SPI) and Sasol Gas, we obtain natural gas through a cross-border pipeline linking the Temane field in Mozambique to our Secunda complex. We use this gas as our sole hydrocarbon feedstock at Sasolburg and as a supplementary feedstock to coal at Secunda.
30-70

Gas production
The main Sasol coal-to-liquids (CTL) process at Secunda commences in the multi-unit gasification plant where we convert coal, with the aid of heat, pressure, steam and oxygen, into crude synthesis feed gas (syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide). Once cooled and recovered from the gas stream, the gasification condensates yield the first generation of co-products: tars, oils and pitches, as well as ammonia, sulphur and phenols.

High-temperature syngas conversion


At Secunda, we send the purified syngas to our suite of ten Sasol Advanced Synthol (SAS) reactors where the syngas reacts, under pressure with the aid of an iron-based catalyst at a temperature of about 350C, to yield hydrocarbons primarily in the C1 to C20 range. Our SAS process also produces reaction water and oxygenated hydrocarbons, which we recover, purify and market as solvents. We cool the hydrocarbons from the SAS reactors in a product recovery plant until most components are liquefied. Through fractionation, we exploit the differences in boiling points to yield separate hydrocarbonrich fractions, as well as methane-rich gas, most of which is converted into syngas via autothermal reforming for further internal processing. We sell the balance as pipeline fuel gas. We split our C2-rich stream into ethylene and ethane. Through a process of thermal decomposition, we crack the ethane in conventional furnaces to produce ethylene for further purification before we convert it downstream into polyethylene. We also purify propylene from the light hydrocarbon gases to provide feedstock for our two Secunda polypropylene plants and Sasolburg butanol and acrylates plants. We sell some of our ethylene and propylene to third-party polymer producers.

Note: On the following three pages we illustrate Sasol's integrated business model in detail (diagrams 1, 2 and 3 on pages 13, 15 and 16). All diagrams have been colour coded alike to assist in the identification of the various processes and products. Similarly, where appropriate, the content has also been flagged with colour bars which refer back to the diagrams.

technology and production

our main south african production processes continued


16, 17

Through proprietary Sasol technology, we recover and purify three alpha olefins from the oil stream (comprising a broad slate of hydrocarbons with carbon numbers ranging from C4 to C20) from the SAS reactors: 1-pentene, 1-hexene and 1-octene. Some international customers use the hexene and octene as co-monomers for making speciality grades of polymers, while a few customers use the smaller quantities of pentene mostly as feedstock for producing certain agrochemicals. We purify the SAS oxygenates in our chemical workup plant to produce alcohols, acetic acid, ketones and ethyl acetate, all of which are solvents. On behalf of Sasol Olefins & Surfactants, Sasol Solvents also converts some of our higher alpha olefins (C11-C12) into Safol detergent-range alcohols.

Oil refining Our joint-venture Natref oil refinery at Sasolburg uses conventional refinery processing units to convert imported crude oil into petrol, diesel, jet fuel and illuminating paraffin, as well as ethylene and propylene feedstock, fuel oil, bitumen and sulphur.

Low-temperature syngas conversion


At Sasolburg, we reform natural gas with steam and oxygen at high temperature in two autothermal reformers (ATRs) to produce syngas. Our iron catalyst-based fixed-bed tubular and Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate (Sasol SPD) Fischer-Tropsch (FT) processes convert the syngas at a lower temperature than the SAS reactors to produce linear hydrocarbon waxes and paraffins. When used with our advanced cobalt catalyst, the Sasol SPD FT reactor forms the heart of our three-step gas-to-liquids (GTL) process, the Sasol SPD process (see page 15). The Sasol SPD process is used in the Oryx GTL plant in Qatar and will be used in the Escravos GTL plant under construction in Nigeria. Sasol Solvents converts some of the Sasolburg syngas into methanol and butanol. Sasol Nitro produces ammonia from synthesis gas and converts some of this ammonia into nitric acid and ammonium nitrate-based explosives and fertilisers.

GTL and CTL technology


The gas-to-liquids (GTL) and coal-to-liquids (CTL) programmes were launched in 1997 with the formation of Sasol Synfuels International (SSI). Operations began in 2007 at our Oryx GTL joint venture with Qatar Petroleum, with design levels of production capacity achieved. SSI cares for its people and believes in a zero-harm culture. The present recordable case rate is lower than 0,15. In Nigeria, the Escravos GTL (EGTL) project is under construction and remains an opportunity for Nigeria to play a leading role in one of the most advanced sectors of the energy and fuel markets in the world today. In line with our strategic intent, SSI is pursuing international opportunities, most notably in Uzbekistan, Canada, USA, Australia, China and India, to leverage our proprietary Fischer-Tropsch conversion technology.

Producing a new-generation diesel


With a high cetane number (70+ versus the conventional 45 55), low sulphur (less than five parts/million), low aromatics (less than 1%) and excellent cold-flow characteristics, Sasol GTL diesel is far superior in quality than crude oil-derived diesel. This low-emission, premium-grade fuel is also ideal as a blend stock for upgrading conventional diesels. After many thousands of kilometres of testing, GTL diesel is compatible with all fuel distribution infrastructures as well as engine and exhaust after-treatment technologies and it can be used either neat or in blends with crude oil-derived diesel in any compression ignition engine. Performance benefits of GTL diesel include improved cold-start properties, reduced noise and cleaner combustion. Our CTL technology also produces a low-sulphur, low-emissions diesel.

Bringing GTL diesel to the world


3

In 2007, operations began at our Oryx GTL joint venture with Qatar Petroleum. Today, it is the worlds largest operating commercial-scale GTL facility. Oryx GTL is recording exceptional performance, at times in excess of 35 000 b/d produced. Marketed mostly as a blend stock in Europe and Asia, Oryx GTL diesel has notably superior properties. Recent technology developments in the cost-effective extraction of shale gas and resulting lower gas prices present an opportunity for expansion of our GTL facilities. Following agreements with Talisman to acquire a 50% stake in their Farrell Creek and Cypress A shale gas assets respectively, we have embarked on a joint feasibility study with Talisman to look at the potential for a GTL facility in Canada. In Nigeria, the development of the Escravos GTL plant is advancing, in partnership with Chevron and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Completion of the project is due in 2013. A feasibility study is under way to establish a GTL plant in Uzbekistan, in partnership with Petronas and Uzbekneftegaz, with an estimated capacity of 1,5 million tons of GTL product a year.

Pursuing international CTL opportunities


1

SSI is progressing well with its plans to develop Sasols first CTL plant outside South Africa. In China, the feasibility study for a plant at the Ningdong Energy and Chemicals base has been completed, with encouraging results. The project will be undertaken with Sasols partner in China, the Shenhua Ningxia Coal Group, and we await the Chinese Governments approval for the project to go ahead. Sasol is conducting a pre-feasibility study into a CTL facility in India. The Indian government has awarded the SSI and Tata Group joint venture long-term access to the Talcher coalfield in Orissa.

Some of the leading car manufacturers are investigating the potential of using more efficient homogenous charge compression ignition in their new-generation engines and we believe our Fischer-Tropsch fuels will support the technology.

Sasol Petroleum International


Sasol Petroleum International (SPI) manages the groups upstream interests in natural gas and oil assets, and is active in upstream operations: exploration, appraisal, development and production.
7 In Mozambique, SPIs (70% equity and operator) produces gas and condensate from the Pande and Temane fields through its central processing facility (CPF) located in Temane, in partnership with Companhia Moambicana de Hidrocarbonetos (25% equity) and the International Finance Corporation (5% equity). Production at the CPF started in 2004 at a rate of 120 million GJ/a from the Temane field, and feeds both Mozambican as well as South African markets. The Pande field was brought on stream in 2009 as part of the 183 million GJ/a expansion project. This project is estimated to cost USS$306 million and is scheduled to be completed in 2011.

Progress continues in Asia-Pacific


9 In December, 2009 SPI signed a Farm-in Agreement with Finder Exploration to take up a 45% equity stake in the promising AC/P-52 permit in the offshore Browse Basin. This deal supplements the existing acreage position in the block WA-388, which is located in the offshore Carnarvon Bason. 10 SPI has also progressed exploration activities in Papua New Guinea. Initial seismic acquisition has been successfully concluded and subsequent prospect evaluation has matured a drill site in PPL-285, which will be drilled in the second quarter of 2011. Additional seismic is being acquired in 2011 to further detail possible follow-up drilling locations.

Expanding our upstream portfolio


Global exploration and new venture activities are focused on a number of core areas: Southern Cone Africa, Australasia and North America regions. These activities aim to fuel our upstream growth plans and are targeting both conventional and non-conventional gas opportunities.
4 On 17 December 2010, SPI signed an agreement with the Canadianbased Talisman Energy to acquire a 50% stake in their Farrell Creek shale gas assets located in the Montney basin, of British Columbia and Alberta.

Appraisal drilling in the Inhassoro field if part of the 2010/2011 Mozambique well campaign and if successful will be followed by en Extended Well Test to establish the economic viability of a liquids (light oil/condensate) development project. This project could also improve the viability of a potential LPG project. In November, 2009 SPI acquired two offshore licenses in Mozambique, 100% of the Sofala Block and a 50% equal share with Petronas in Block M-10. ENH has now been assigned a 15% carried interest in both the M-10 and Sofala concessions. Potential success in either of these two new concessions would possibly allow for this entire area, including the Njika discoveries in EPC Blocks 16 and 19, to be developed further. On 21 September 2010, the Exploration and Production Concession Contract (EPCC) for the on-shore block Area A was signed by the Mozambique Ministry of Mineral Resources and the concessionaires SPI (90%) and ENH (10%).
8 In Gabon, SPI has 27,75% equity in the Etame Marin permit, operated by Vaalco Energy. Gross oil production of about 22 000 b/d is realised from the Etame, Ebouri and Avouma oil fields.

The CA$1 025 million (R6 950 million) acquisitions include 51 000 acres of land with an estimated contingent resource of 9,6 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas. Talisman Energy retain the remaining 50% interest and continue as operator of the Farrell Creek assets, that include gas gathering systems and processing facilities. On 8 March 2011, SPI exercised an option and signed a letter of agreement with Talisman to acquire a 50% stake in their Cypress A shale gas asset. This CA$1 050 million (R7 413 million) acquisition is also located in the Montney Basin and offers particularly thick productive shale formations. The transaction covers over 57 000 acres of land with an estimated contingent resource of 11.2 TCF.

Sasol Oil markets fuels blended at Secunda and refined through its 63,6% share in Natref oil refinery at Sasolburg. Products include petrol, diesel, jet fuel, illuminating paraffin, liquefied petroleum gas, fuel-oils, bitumen and lubricants. It imports fuels to balance its product slate and meet contractual commitments. Sasol Oil operates 418 Sasol- and Exel-branded retail convenience centres in South Africa and exports fuels to Southern Africa. In 2010 we continued to upgrade Natref and improve its stability. Throughput has increased since revamping the existing diesel unifiner, which was completed in April 2010. We also commenced construction of a pipeline between Sasol Oil facilities at Secunda and Natref at Sasolburg.

How fuel prices are calculated in South Africa


Composition of the petrol pump price 93 Octane Unleaded (Gauteng) in SA cent per litre 980 c/l 6 April 2011

The petrol retail price is regulated by the government and changed every month on the first Wednesday of the month. The price is calculated by the Central Energy Fund (CEF) on behalf of the Department of Mineral Resources. The petrol pump price is composed of a number of price elements that can be divided into international and domestic elements. The international element, or Basic Fuel Price (BFP), is based on what it would cost a South African importer to buy petrol from an international refinery and to transport the product to South Africa.

Sasol Gas transmits, distributes, and trades in natural gas from Mozambique and methane-rich gas (MRG) produced by Sasol Synfuels at Secunda. It delivers gas through approximately 2 000 kilometres of pipeline to about 550 individual and commercial customers in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal. In KwaZuluNatal it also supplies gas to Spring Lights Gas, its empowerment initiative with Coal Energy & Power Resources. At Sasolburg, natural gas is sold to Sasol Chemical Industries, which reforms natural gas into syngas for producing waxes, ammonia, solvents and other chemicals. At Secunda, Sasol Synfuels uses natural gas as a complementary feedstock to coal for producing synthetic fuels, MRG and chemicals. Sasol commenced natural gas production in the onshore Temane field in Mozambique in 2004. Through its partnerships, Sasol Petroleum Temane (SPT), a subsidiary of Sasol Petroleum International, established

production wells in the Temane field, where it produces and cleans natural gas, and maintains an exploration programme. In 2009, SPT and its partners brought several wells into production at the Pande gas field. The gas is processed and compressed at the Temane central processing facility (CPF) and the pipeline is operated by the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Investment Company (Rompco), which is 50% owned by Sasol Gas, 25% by iGas and 25% by Companhia Moambicana de Gasoduto. During 2010, construction on a new compressor station was completed at Komatipoort on the border between South Africa and Mozambique. The new station increases by around a fifth the capacity for natural gas deliveries along the 865 kilometre pipeline and has achieved beneficial operation. Able to deliver 20% more natural gas from Mozambique, it will ensure a sustainable future supply.

cutting-edge technology

64

Since 1950, when we developed our unique blend of coal gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology, Sasol Technology has played a pivotal role in the groups growth agenda. Focused research and development during the 1980s and 1990s led to the development of the low-temperature Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate process used at Sasolburg, and the hightemperature Sasol Advanced Synthol process used at Secunda. The success of these technologies is evident in their continued application in the Sasol Wax capacity expansion in Sasolburg, as well as in the provision of the 10th SAS reactor for Secunda, both of which are currently in construction. The development of the US shale gas industry in recent years is providing exciting opportunities for the application of Sasols proprietary Slurry Phase Distillate gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. The success of the groups Oryx GTL joint venture in Qatar underpins our international prospects and our experience in Qatar will be applied to other GTL facilities, including Escravos in Nigeria and possibly Uzbekistan. Sasol Technologys FT design reactor and catalyst-testing reactor pilot plants are key to our efforts to develop new, more efficient CTL and GTL operations. These Sasolburg facilities, which became fully operational in 2010, are making major contributions to improving catalyst performance and driving the intensification of the reactor and process designs. We have developed various processes for recovering and purifying solvents, waxes and phenolics for the world market, as well as 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene and higher alpha olefins. The higher alpha olefins are converted into detergent-range alcohols.

cutting-edge technology continued

In 2010, we successfully started up a second methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK) plant for Sasol Solvents in Sasolburg which was quickly ramped to full capacity. This plant is based on a significantly optimised flowsheet developed by Sasol Technology R&D. Good progress has been achieved with Sasols unique ethylene tetramerisation technology to convert ethylene into 1-octene. We have completed the basic design activities for a commercial facility at the Sasol Olefins & Surfactants site in Louisiana, USA, based on our first generation technology. We continue to improve both the catalyst systems and process configuration with a view to optimising the process and commercialising a next-generation technology. Sasol Mining has developed or co-developed high-extraction mining methods, advanced directional drilling techniques, roof-bolting systems, continuous-miner systems and a virtual-reality training system for continuous-miner operators, among other performanceenhancing innovations. Sasol continues to invest an amount of about R250 million (US$33 million) over a 10-year period to build research capacity at South African tertiary institutions. Research collaborations in South Africa are complemented with selected international research programmes, which include work undertaken at Sasols facilities at the University of St Andrews in the UK and in The Netherlands.

As part of our commitment to gender diversity, we are involved in programmes to encourage young woman to enter the fields of engineering and science.

Fuels research continues


Sasol Technologys fuels technology division is tasked with R&D on fuels, lubricants, heating fuel and road-binding material, as well as new-product formulation and testing at Sasolburg. The team also conducts fundamental fuels and combustion research at the Sasol advanced fuels laboratory in Cape Town in collaboration with the University of Cape Towns mechanical engineering department. In addition, the Sasol fuels application centre, our state-of-the-art research facility also based in Cape Town, enables us to conduct sea-level engine and emissions tests in line with international standards. Our fuels research ensures our fuels meet the highest quality standards and are suitable for use in current and future engines. We have done pioneering research in the use of synthetic fuels and were the first company to develop and get approval for synthetic jet fuel.

exploring new energy options and technologies


Sasol New Energy (SNE) was created to focus on developing options and new technologies for Sasol to utilise in a carbonand water-constrained world. To reduce production of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our operations and integrate new technologies into our current processes, SNE is exploring renewable and lower-carbon energy options such as solar and wind power, as well as hydroelectric, clean coal and natural gas-based power opportunities. Carbon capture and storage is being targeted to sequester the CO2 produced in the Fischer-Tropsch process. Sasol has set a target for improving the energy efficiency of its South African utility facilities by 15% per unit of production by 2015, compared with a base set in 2000. We are well on track to meet this target. We also intend using low-carbon electricity and renewable energy to optimise our Fischer-Tropsch-based processes in existing and future facilities.

Lowering the carbon intensity of electricity


In 2010, Sasol commissioned two gas turbines at Sasol Synfuels operations in Secunda to produce electricity from natural gas from Mozambique. Using natural gas as a feedstock for power production, rather than coal, more than halves CO2 emissions. The turbines are currently operating in open-cycle mode, producing 200 MW of power which is being sold to state utility Eskom. These turbines are currently being converted to closed-cycle mode with the addition of heat-recovery steam generators, increasing the capacity to 280 MW. Sasol New Energy is investigating constructing a 140 MW gas-fired power plant at Sasolburg as well as two gas-fired power plant opportunities in Mozambique.

Pursuing carbon capture and storage


Sasol is a co-founder of the South African Centre for Carbon Capture and Storage. Sasol acquired a share in Norways Technology Centre Mongstad, which has been established to test, verify and demonstrate technology suitable for deployment at large-scale carbon capture facilities. Sasol is also investigating opportunities for carbon capture and storage around our existing and potential future coal-to-liquids facilities. We are progressing our understanding of deep underground coal gasification. We believe gasification of coal in-situ, rather than mining and transporting it to a coal gasification plant above ground, could lead to the development of coal reserves that could otherwise not be mined. Water is central to Sasols business, and we operate or are planning projects in parts of the world where water is scarce. SNE has taken responsibility for the groups sustainable water strategy, based on the commitments made by Sasol in March 2008 under the UN Global Compact CEO Water Mandate.

Exploring renewable energy


Sasol is also evaluating options in concentrated solar power, as we believe it is a viable option for South Africa, a country blessed with abundant direct sunshine.

black economic empowerment


Sasol is committed to South Africas continued transformation, notably through the significant advancement of black economic empowerment (BEE) initiatives. In 2008, we completed our broad-based Sasol Inzalo BEE equity transaction, welcoming approximately 300 000 new shareholders from historically disadvantaged backgrounds as owners of about 10% of our listed holding company, Sasol Limited. The Inzalo BEE equity initiative was worth about R24 billion (US$3 million) at that time. Of the shareholding, 4% has been transferred to about 24 500 employees (through employee share ownership schemes in South Africa), 3% to black members of the public, 1,5% to selected BEE groups and 1,5% to the Sasol Inzalo Foundation. Established in 2007, this charitable foundation is dedicated to boosting skills development in mathematics, science and technology in previously disadvantaged sectors of society in South Africa. In 2008, Sasol developed a broad-based BEE scorecard which was verified by SANAS-accredited agency Empowerdex and is built into all our business processes. We achieved a level 6 contributor verified status. Through preferential procurement and collaborating with industry bodies and suppliers we aim to ensure a sustainable, broad base of BEE suppliers. By prioritising socioeconomic development and empowerment through enterprise development we have seen our business incubator company, Sasol ChemCity, and supplier development funder, Siyakha Trust, create or assist over 300 small, micro, medium enterprises (SMMEs). Our current BEE certificate, valid until 4 September 2011, verifies that we are a level 4 contributor and confirms us to be a value-adding supplier. The result of this is that customers get R1,25 of broad-based BEE preferential procurement recognition for each R1 they spend with Sasol.

Supporting landmark empowerment charters


In support of South Africas Liquid Fuels Charter, broad-based BEE group Tshwarisano LFB Investment became the owner of 25% of our liquid fuels production, distribution and marketing operations, housed in Sasol Oil. Sasol Oil has established 418 (at June 2010) retail fuel facilities, including 156 dealer-owned sites. In October 2007, Sasol Mining announced its broad-based BEE programme with the formation of a black women-owned mining company called Ixia Coal. This BEE empowerment venture facilitated a 20% BEE equity participation for historically disadvantaged South Africans in our mining business well ahead of the 2009 deadline set by the South African government in terms of South Africas Mining Charter to achieve 15% equity participation. Sasol Mining remains in compliance with the current requirements of the Mining Charter. During 2010, preferential procurement, as defined by the Codes of Good Practice for broad-based BEE was R11,3 billion (US$1,5 billion) and represented just over 40% of our total measured procurement spend. In other BEE initiatives, we formed Spring Lights Gas with the Coal Energy and Power Resources empowerment group in 2002 for marketing pipeline gas in KwaZulu-Natal. We also procure about 85% of our fuel and spot crude oil requirements from BEE trading companies. In addition, we allocate at least 50% of our undergraduate bursaries to people from disadvantaged communities.

Overview
Earnings attributable to shareholders for the six months ended 31 December 2010 increased by 21% to R7,6 billion (US$1,1 billion) from R6,3 billion (US$0,8 billion) in the prior year while headline earnings per share and earnings per share increased by 22% to R12,97 (US$1,82) and by 20% to R12,68 (US$1,78), respectively, over the same period. Operating profit of R12,0 billion (US$1,7 billion) increased by 15% compared with the prior year. Operating profit was positively impacted by higher average crude oil prices (average dated Brent was US$81,68/barrel in 2010 compared with US$71,42/barrel in 2009) and chemical product prices. However, a 7% stronger average rand/US dollar exchange rate (R7,11/US$ in 2010 compared with R7,64/US$ in 2009) partially offset the benefits of the higher average crude oil prices. Overall, group production volumes declined by 4% from the prior year primarily due to Sasol Synfuels major planned outage. The majority of our other businesses, however, reflected improved volumes. Cash fixed costs were down in real terms through our continued focus on cost containment. The operating profit in the current period was negatively impacted by once-off charges compared with the prior year. These once-off charges include competition related administrative penalties of R112 million (US$17 million), the Escravos gas-to-liquids (EGTL) partial impairment of R123 million (US$19 million) and the Ixia Coal BEE transaction share-based payment expense of R565 million (US$85 million). The current period also includes a Sasol Inzalo BEE share-based payment expense of R432 million (US$61 million) compared with R400 million (US$52 million) in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 36,0% to 33,7% resulted due to decreases in foreign tax rates, partly offset by competition related

administrative penalties and share-based payment expenses compared with the prior year, both of which are not deductible for tax purposes. Cash flow generated by operating activities was R15,1 billion (US$2,3 billion) compared with R9,2 billion (US$1,2 billion) in the prior year. This was mainly due to increased operating profits and reduced working capital, both as a result of price and volume effects. Progress was made on the groups pipeline of growth projects, resulting in capital expenditure of R9,2 billion (US$1,4 billion) for the period.

Acquisitions and projects progressing


Acquisitions in support of our GTL proposition are advancing, supported by our strong cash flow generation and balance sheet which provide a solid platform for growth:

Sustaining Sasol into the future


Developments in the sustainable development area include the following:

In July 2010, we concluded an agreement with Gassnova SF, a Norwegian state-owned enterprise responsible for managing carbon capture and storage (CCS). This agreement allows us to participate in the European CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad, currently under construction in Norway. In September 2010, we concluded the Ixia Coal transaction in line with Sasol Minings empowerment strategy and its commitment to comply with the objectives of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act as well as the Mining Charter. This transaction results in Ixia Coal Funding (Pty) Limited, a subsidiary of Ixia Coal (Pty) Limited, acquiring a 20% shareholding in Sasol Mining for a purchase consideration of R1,8 billion. The recordable case rate for employees and service providers, including injuries and illnesses, improved by 8% from 0,51 at 30 June 2010 to 0,47 at 31 December 2010. However, we have had too many tragic incidents and a new and substantial safety improvement plan is currently being implemented. In February 2011, we listed the Sasol BEE ordinary shares on the JSE Limiteds main board. This trading facility provides many Sasol Inzalo shareholders access to a regulated market in line with our commitment to broad-based shareholder development.

In December 2010, Sasol signed an agreement with Talisman Energy Inc. (Talisman), a Canadian-based company, to acquire a 50% stake in their Farrell Creek shale gas assets located in the Montney Basin of British Columbia, for an amount of R7,1 billion (US$1,1 billion). Talisman will retain the remaining 50% interest and continue as operator of the Farrell Creek assets which cover over 51 000 acres of land and which also include associated gas gathering systems and processing facilities. In December 2009, the Project Application Report for the China coal-to-liquids (CTL) plant was submitted to the Chinese Government for approval. Pending the outcome of this decision, all further project activities have been delayed. The feasibility study for the Uzbekistan GTL plant is continuing and is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of the 2011 financial year. The pre-feasibility study in respect of our Indian CTL project is in its final stages. Sasol Solvents will begin construction of the worlds first commercial ethylene tetramerisation unit at the Sasol O&S, Lake Charles production site in the United States. The planned capacity for this facility is 100 000 tons per annum of combined 1-octene and 1-hexene which are co-monomers used in the plastics industry. Construction is expected to begin in the 2011 calendar year, with beneficial operation expected by the middle of the 2013 calendar year. Construction on the expansion of the wax production facility in Sasolburg, South Africa, is progressing according to plan.

Therefore, we strive to obtain the best ultimate value for every rand we spend. We view our relationships with customers, contractors and suppliers as mutually beneficial partnerships with all parties integrating their talents, resources and actions to meet agreed requirements, while continuously striving to do better. To ensure the integrity of our contractor and supplier relationships, and to safeguard our stakeholders interests, we have established minimum procurement standards.

We strive to conclude our transactions so that suppliers and contractors will value our business and always make honest, dedicated and enthusiastic efforts to compete for it. We disallow any commercial transactions with employees or any enterprise in which an employee has an interest or connection. In accordance with the requirements of South Africas Companies Act and relevant international statutes, codes and guidelines, our company directors must disclose any interests they may have in any contract or transaction entered into by the company or any of its subsidiaries. We record clearly and unambiguously, in writing, any agreement with a supplier or contractor. We endeavour, as far as practically possible, to allow for unforeseen future events.

We undertake to respect and meet our commercial commitments. We require that commitments to Sasol are respected, met and consistent with good business practice.

Enhancing workplace diversity

73

In addition to actively striving to reflect the economically active population of South Africa in our workforce profile at all levels, we are also embarking on a global diversity journey. Diversity forums, set up in our various business units, constantly strive to create co-ownership in the achievement of our diversity aspirations. In 2009, we launched a disability equity awareness campaign in our South African operations, with the aim of informing employees of their rights as members of this designated group and to encourage them to voluntarily declare their disabilities. The infrastructure to allow people with disabilities to voluntarily declare their status has been developed. We strive to apply affirmative action measures to ensure that people with disabilities are afforded reasonable accommodation, if and where appropriate. Also, in the interest of increasing diversity, we have developed guidelines for women advancement and representation at all management levels.

Our Women in Leadership programme has since 2007 been helping women in junior and middle management to assume more senior management positions. Committed to facilitating social and economic development and transformation in South Africa, we award more than 50% of our university bursaries to black all inclusive students. On the labour relations front, more than 60% of our South African employees are members of recognised trade unions. Worldwide, we are a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact. We strive to uphold world-class standards in all areas of employee relations, trade union recognition and human rights.

Training and development


Sasol is committed to continuous employee training and development and we have entrusted the coordination of our skills development activities to our global learning department, which focuses on developing internal skills and competency. An external pool of experienced and specialised employees is developed who we can rely on during critical project phases, while at the same time growing South Africas competency pool.

Leadership effectiveness
Investing in the holistic advancement of our people is considered a business imperative. During the year, good progress was made in introducing initiatives to enhance our leadership effectiveness, improve talent management and enhance our employee value proposition. Sasol requires managers who can work in complex, multi-cultural situations; leaders who can manage the balance between delivering for today and investing for tomorrow. We place a high value on leadership development and offer programmes aimed at developing the skills and knowledge of managers and leaders at different stages of their careers. We provide a full range of leadership and management development initiatives appropriate to the groups strategic objectives. The company develops frontline leaders through focused personal development initiatives. Coaching and mentoring programmes are under way to deepen the succession pool and ensure the transfer of institutional knowledge. These leadership initiatives are the meeting ground for the identified future talent of our business. It is critical to ensure an effective leadership development process and to carefully manage succession planning.

Global learning
Sasol has established a global learning fraternity that is comparable with world best practice with regard to cost and ratios. The sustainable standardised new way of work enables us to enhance learning delivery as well as doing more with less. Our learning strategy endorses a lifelong learning culture through a standardised curriculum in an application-conducive environment, resulting in sustainable, competent and capable talent. The global venture support initiative ensures access to experienced people to meet our growth ambitions. The pool of skilled individuals developed through this initiative is exposed to shutdowns, commissioning and startup of new plants, with the objective of ensuring a well-balanced workforce ready for a variety of tasks in new ventures. To prepare for international growth, and to promote job creation in the countries in which we operate, experienced individuals are being brought to South Africa to receive training on critical aspects of our operations, as well as being exposed to the Sasol culture.

Technical skills partnerships


The first learners were recruited to the Technical Skills Business Partnership (TSBP) at the end of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. There are currently 271 learners participating in the initiative. This number will be boosted by the further intake of 103 new learners during the second half of 2010 and first half of 2011. Of the original intake of TSBP learners, 95 are scheduled to qualify at NQF Level 4 between March and June 2011. The aim is to train 900 artisans through this initiative over five to seven years.

the technical skills business partnership learner artisan pool established to build skills for the growth of South Africa.

There are 548 learner maintenance artisans in the Sasol learner artisan pool, 195 learner process artisans and 35 learner miners. The approved funding for the OG&CM project (R140 million (US$18 million) from Sasol and R32 million (US$4 million) from the Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority) has been fully committed and the project is winding down. By April 2010, 701 learners had qualified as artisans at National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Level 4. A further 417 who are still in the system will be afforded the opportunity to complete NQF Level 4. The last OGSCM learners will exit the system in April 2011.

Learnerships
Sasol has three distinct learner artisan pools namely:

the Sasol learner artisan pool to supply artisans for Sasols own future needs; the oil, gas & chemical manufacturing (OG&CM) learner artisan pools, created to build a national pool of competent artisans for industry maintenance shutdowns and major capital projects;

Training and accreditation at Sasol


Sasol is registered as an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA). As an ATO, Sasol has complied with SAICAs stringent accreditation requirements and is therefore able to offer CTA graduates an opportunity to be trained as chartered accountants. Training is provided at our diverse businesses (mining, oil/gas exploration, fuels and chemicals) in Secunda, Sasolburg and Johannesburg and is supported by a formal mentorship programme. Progress is assessed by qualified assessors, while recognition is given for work performance and academic achievement. Talented individuals are identified annually and offered a training contract as well as employment. As a global player, Sasol offers challenging and rewarding career opportunities in financial management; project accounting; treasury; statutory and management reporting; taxation; corporate finance; and general management. Since the first trainee intake in 1998, 53 individuals have qualified as chartered accountants. There are currently 26 chartered accountant trainees on the programme.

Promoting the wellbeing of employees


Sasol has initiated an employee assistance programme (EAP) to promote the psychosocial health of our employees and their dependents. We have also been monitoring an employee wellness scorecard for most business units in South Africa. Our programme to integrate occupational health data with other areas pertaining to healthcare and wellness ensures a holistic view of the health risks profile of employees. Sasols integrated HIV/Aids Response Programme is now in its eighth year and focuses on identifying and providing support services to HIVinfected employees and their families, as well as on preventing new infections through awareness, education and access to testing, counselling and treatment. Offering free voluntary counselling and testing at wellness days and at our occupational health clinics are part of our drive to increase awareness of the pandemic. The Sasol HIV/Aids policy commits to providing access to antiretroviral therapy, and disease management is available to employees through the companys medical aid schemes. In addition, a workplace treatment programme is operational at the Sasol Mining Medical Centre in Sasolburg. Underpinning our testing and treatment initiatives are comprehensive communications that encourage an interactive approach to prevention, support and care, as well as a coordinated system of peer training and education. A comprehensive toolkit was supplied to business units to support our communication campaign, I am part of the solution, which was based on the 2009 World Aids Day theme I am.

bursaries programme
Corporate graduate services
With the scarcity of talent in South Africa and globally it is essential for Sasol to ensure continuous availability of skills to sustain our growth. The Sasol bursary scheme is a critical talent lever to enable us to meet our strategic and transformation objectives. The bursary scheme is a talent-based scheme, not a social investment initiative, focused on critical skills as defined by the business. In 2010, the bursary department (CGS) handled a total of 14 125 applications for new bursars, of which 6 570 met the set minimum criteria. A total of 456 were interviewed, resulting in the awarding of 101 bursaries. CGS administrated a total of 1 154 undergraduate bursars, 36 technikon bursars and 156 postgraduate bursars across the country. Due to a paucity of skills, CGS for the first time ventured over international borders and successfully recruited students in Mozambique. The costs covered by the scheme include 100% tuition fees, set cost for meal and residence at the respective universities, PC allowance, and calculator allowance. In 2010, the Sasol bursary scheme invested R51 million (US$7 million) in direct cost and reached more than 6 360 students via school visits. There were 11 campus visits and 90 new bursars were introduced while workshops were presented to over 800 students. A total of 107 graduates were placed in various Sasol business units.

social investment
Investing in our communities
The vision of Sasols corporate social investment (CSI) programme is to promote people-centred, needs-driven and sustainable development of communities. Our community engagement focuses on strengthening the ability of communities to thrive, by supporting civil society, government and private sector role players in plans to stimulate growth, strengthen development and foster dignity. Many of the communities we operate in have multiple social and development challenges and require expert and long-term support to address the impacts of intergenerational poverty. It demands a commitment beyond financial assistance. We have invested in creating value for communities through supporting strategic economic drivers, skills and capacity development and by involving communities more in our value chain. Employees are encouraged to be involved in the development of communities through the Sasol Making a Difference (MAD) programme. Central to our community engagement strategy are the following principles: We have channelled the majority of our social investments into five priority areas:

Education, with a particular focus on science and technology (50%); Job creation, by investing in initiatives that promote the sustainable creation of employment, particularly for unskilled or marginalised groups such as women and youth (20%); Health and welfare, with a priority emphasis on key social challenges such as HIV/Aids (20%); Arts, culture and sport development with a particular emphasis on identifying opportunities for uplifting the quality of life of communities (5%); and The environment, by supporting specific conservation projects, as well as education and capacity building initiatives (5%).

Community involvement and ownership; Strengthening community leadership; Targeted impacts-driven interventions; Addressing key community priorities

Strategic research-informed interventions; Monitoring and evaluation; and Building capacity through partnership.

All CSI projects are subjected to a thorough assessment of the extent to which they meet certain criteria. During 2010, we committed R80,5 million (US$10 million) (excluding bursaries) to socioeconomic development projects. We also committed R45 million (US$6 million) to bursaries. While most of our social investments are undertaken in Southern Africa, community-based initiatives are undertaken by our USA and European operations, according to the particular needs and opportunities in their communities.

To help secure the required talent within the organisation, Sasol will continue to invest in the attraction of young talent through its sought-after bursary scheme that is largely focused in science and technology disciplines.

Our community investment focus Education


Mathematics, science, engineering and technology are highly relevant to Sasols core business. It is therefore the main focus of our CSI funding and a priority to support these areas to contribute towards the improvement of the public education system. Our work in primary communities is focused on improving educational facilities, and more especially on strengthening the continuum of education from early childhood development to entrance to tertiary education. Linked closely to these activities is the need to create a culture of innovation and curiosity and Sasol invests heavily in mobilising educators and learners through national exhibitions, science weeks and two science resource centres in the Free State and Mpumalanga.

Health and welfare


There are many health and social challenges in the communities we work in, such as HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, crime, family violence and malaria. These issues impact directly on social justice and community resilience. Regarding HIV/Aids, we have had strong prevention focus by driving community education and awareness. The care needs of those affected/infected by HIV/Aids cannot be met by community structures without the help of private sector partners.

Job creation
In addressing large-scale poverty our vision is to enable more marginalised people to enter the economy. Through the CSI responses we promote social entrepreneurship, mentoring and skills development for women and youth in rural communities, many of whom have limited literacy and no prior formal training.

The Sasol CSI education priorities are:

Arts, culture and sport

Promoting a culture of curiosity and innovation to demystify science and mathematics; Educator development: the provision of formal training and mentorship; Supporting learners and educators with extra tuition and interactive learning opportunities;

Infrastructure provision from basic materials to classrooms in select rural communities; and Research to support the improvement of literacy, science and mathematics education.

Sasol has a proud tradition of assisting the visual, performing and creative arts. Our support for projects such as the Black Tie Ensembles Incubator Programme; the South African National Youth Orchestras Development Programme and the Sasol Schools Festival helps talented individuals to reach their full potential. We are targeting both sport and life skills development by hosting running sports clinics in the community Sports development programmes also include the upgrade and maintenance of sporting facilities in our primary communities and therefore play a key role in creating growth opportunities for those local economies. These communities are now able to host national and international fixtures, bringing them revenue as well as fun.

Environment
Through our CSI programmes we aim to support our business objective of reducing our carbon footprint, through community investment programmes:

sasol inzalo foundation


Established as part of Sasols R24 billion (US$3 billion) broad-based black economic empowerment transaction, the Sasol Inzalo Foundation owns 1,5% of Sasols share capital. In operation since January 2010, the foundation focuses on maths and science skills development. It aims to do this through investigating initiatives in education to explore criteria for success and collaborate with players in the field. Projects include:

Increasing the awareness of environmental issues in communities through education programmes; Appropriate community greening; Increasing access to safe water in a cost-efficient and sustainable manner; Promoting waste reduction and recycling; Conservation; Increasing energy efficiency by supplying renewable or greener energy, eg, solar panels for day-care centres and residential care centres.

The sponsoring of fellowships for science and engineering graduates for studies towards a higher degree in education; Saturday school in partnership with SciBono Science Centre; A bursary programme which includes academic and psychosocial support, as well as peer mentoring and coaching; and Principals development, enabling school heads to enrol for an Advanced Certificate in Education.

sponsorships
Sasol invests in a number of sponsorships with an emphasis on sport, arts and culture, science and technology and the environment. Since 2009 we have been the sponsor of the South African national womens football team, Banyana Banyana, as well as the Sasol League, a provincial womens football league. In 2009, we renewed our sponsorship with SASCOC to co-sponsor the South African Paralympics team, and continue to support wheelchair basketball and motor sport, including the annual Sasol Rally in Mpumalanga. At the end of 2010, Sasols six-year sponsorship of the Springboks came to an end. During the Sasol Springbok tenure the national rugby team played 85 matches. In that time, they won 55 matches, lost 29 and drew one for a win ratio of 64,7%. During this period they won the 2007 World Cup, the Tri Nations, the Laureus World Team of the Year in 2008, and the IRB World sevens series title, also attaining the IRB number one ranking. In art, we sponsor the Sasol New Signatures art competition and in music, the Black Tie Ensemble and the South African National Youth Orchestra. An annual highlight is the Techno X festival of science, engineering and technology held in Sasolburg. Sasol also sponsors conservation programmes aimed at securing the survival of vultures, ground hornbills and wild dog populations in Southern Africa. We have provided funding for the publication of numerous natural history books including the best-selling Sasol Birds of Southern Africa field guide. This support also extends to the provision of bird hides, birding events in national parks and the popular annual Sasol Birds and Birding Fair at the Johannesburg Zoo.

sustainable development
creating value through sustainable development
Many companies have traditionally seen sustainable development challenges in the context of compliance and risk management. As the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has highlighted, these elements are certainly important. If they are not appropriately addressed, they can have a profound impact on a companys long-term value and reputation. However, in addition to encouraging the protection of value, Sasol believes that sustainable development is also about creating value. The societal and environmental challenges the world currently faces present business with some exciting opportunities. Our investment in the Sasol New Energy business unit reflects the belief that there are valuable commercial gains from moving to low carbon emissions. For us, managing sustainable development challenges is integral to the achievement of Sasols strategic business objectives. A detailed review of our sustainability performance can be found in our separate 2010 sustainable development report, available online at www.sasolsdr.com. It focuses on our most material sustainability challenges, notably climate change, safety, skills development, black economic empowerment and water.

Notes * This statistic includes injuries and illnesses for employees, hired labour and service providers. ** For the rst time the GHG data includes emissions from transportation. For reporting purposes we include 100% of the GHG emissions of joint ventures over which we have operational control, even though we may only have part ownership of the joint venture. *** The dened chemicals are benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, 1,3-butadiene and acetaldehyde emitted from major pollutant sources in Sasol. Meeting this target relies on VOC reduction projects to be successfully executed, resulting in an anticipated reduction of 36 000 tons per annum by 2020. The rst material reduction of these species is only expected in 2011 with the commissioning of the rst series of mitigation technologies.

engaging our stakeholders


In addition to the engagement we undertake through our normal operations, over the past couple of years we have spoken to specific stakeholders to get their views on our annual reporting processes. The aim has been to better understand their interests and respond to their views regarding the reporting of our business and sustainability performance. We have consulted with trade unions, employees, investors, nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), community representatives, academics and researchers. In 2010, we specifically focused on talking to leading South African sustainable development practitioners to identify characteristics of leadership in sustainability reporting and stakeholder engagement, and to assess Sasol against these attributes. Based on the feedback we have made a number of changes, including:

Coal is an important part of the worlds energy mix, and Sasol continues to produce transportation fuels and other products from coal and gas. However, we are committed to substantially reducing our carbon emissions by, among others, developing more efficient production processes, increasing our use of renewable energy and investigating carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions. Our newest business unit, Sasol New Energy (SNE), was created to explore new and viable technologies that can be integrated into our core processes to reduce GHG emissions and meet our long-term targets. In particular, SNE is exploring renewable and lower-carbon energy options such as solar, biofuels and biomass, as well as nuclear, hydro and natural gas. The unit started work in earnest in 2010. Highlights of the year include:

Commissioning gas turbines to produce electricity from natural gas which results in 60% lower carbon dioxide emissions; Investigating the feasibility of producing additional power from natural gas; Studying several opportunities for producing electricity from renewable sources, including investing in the development of thin-film photovoltaic technology that uses solar power; and Acquiring a share in a demonstration facility in Norway exploring large-scale carbon capture technology.

Restructuring our sustainable development report to make it more accessible and better referenced; Starting to focus more strongly on engaging our employees; Providing more information on Sasols growth strategy in our sustainable development report and more clearly demonstrating how sustainability contributes towards achieving this strategy; Restructuring our annual report so that sustainable development issues are better integrated; and Providing some performance data at the level of individual operations rather than aggregating it across the group as a whole.

We are well on track to meet our target of improving the energy efficiency of our South African utility facilities by 15% per unit of production by 2015 (compared with a baseline set in 2000).

sasol facts 2011 99

short glossary of sasol-related terms


Ammonium nitrate solutions: A colourless, crystalline compound derived from ammonia and nitric acid. Sasol uses ammonium nitrate for making fertilisers and commercial explosives. Autothermal reformer: A catalytic partialoxidation reactor in which the endothermic heat needed for the reforming reactions is provided by the combustion reactions of oxygen in the feed. Endothermic refers to a process in which heat is absorbed rather than released, as in exothermic. Barrel: A standard international petroleum industry volumetric measure equal to 159,1 litres, 42 US gallons or 35 imperial gallons. Biodiesel: Diesel derived in part from renewable biotic sources such as soybeans. Catalyst: Usually a metal or metal-containing material used to accelerate a reaction between two or more chemical elements or compounds. Central processing facility (CPF): A petrochemical processing plant with support infrastructure used at or near gas fields to conduct several processing steps on natural gas, sourced from multiple wells, before the gas is fed into a transmission pipeline for supply to customers. Coal-to-liquids (CTL): A petrochemical term referring to a process technology, plant or venture that entails the conversion of coal into liquid transport fuels and related hydrocarbons, including petrol, diesel, kerosene and naphtha, as well as chemical feedstock.
100 sasol facts 2011

Cracker: A chemical reaction vessel used for decomposing (cracking) petrochemical compounds such as naphtha, liquefied petroleum gas or waxes. Ethylene: A colourless, flammable, hydrocarbon gas used principally by Sasol as feedstock for producing polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. Gas-to-liquids (GTL): A petrochemical term referring to an integrated process technology or production plant for converting a hydrocarbon feedstock gas (usually natural gas or methane) into liquid hydrocarbons such as diesel, kerosene and naphtha. Gasification: The conversion of coal in a gasifier into gases and co-products under high temperature and pressure in the presence of steam and oxygen. The purified gases and co-products are converted downstream into liquid fuels and chemical feedstock. Hexene (1-hexene): A straight-chain C6 hydrocarbon molecule that contains a single, terminal double-bond between atoms. Customers use it mostly as a co-monomer for enhancing certain characteristics of polyethylene. Ketones: Hydrocarbon compounds containing a carbonyl group (-CO-) in the molecule attached to two hydrocarbon radicals. Ketones include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone. Customers use our ketones mostly as solvents and chemical feedstock.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG): Petroleum gases such as propane, butane and pentane pressurised in liquefied form and used for heating applications such as camping stoves and lighters. Methanol: A toxic, colourless alcohol used as an important intermediate chemical and a versatile solvent. Monomer: A chemical such as ethylene or propylene capable of being converted into a long-chain polymer or a synthetic resin by combining with itself or other similar molecules or compounds. Naphtha: A generic term for a mixture of flammable, light distillate hydrocarbons used for producing petrochemicals downstream. In the case of Sasols GTL process, GTL naphtha is used as feedstock for ethylene cracking. Natural gas (gas): A mixture of hydrocarbon gases in the Earths crust containing methane, as well as ethane, propane, butane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and sulphur compounds. Octene (1-octene): A straight-chain C8 hydrocarbon molecule that contains a single, terminal double-bond between atoms. It is used mostly as a co-monomer for producing certain plastics. Pentene (1-pentene): A straight-chain C5 hydrocarbon molecule that contains a single, terminal double-bond between atoms. It is used for producing certain plastics and agrochemicals.

Polyethylene: A common plastic comprising long-chain ethylene molecules. Our customers use polyethylene to produce boutique shopping bags, food-wrap films and other packaging materials, pipe, moulded fittings, and wire and cable sheaths, among other products. Polymer: A compound whose molecule is formed from a large number of repeated units of one or more compounds of low molecular weight (monomers). Synthetic polymers are used extensively in plastics. Polymers do not have a definite formula because they consist of many chains of different lengths. Polypropylene: A notably versatile plastic derived from the polymerisation of propylene. Our customers use polypropylene for making automotive components, furniture, self-hinged containers, medical equipment, carpet backings and woven bags, among other products. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): A tough, white, solid thermoplastic that can be softened with plasticisers. Sasol produces PVC by polymerising vinyl chloride monomer derived from ethylene and chlorine. Our customers use PVC for sheathing cables, moulding footwear and moulding bottles and other packaging forms. Propanol: A colourless and volatile alcohol existing in two isomers (iso-propanol and normal-propanol) used as a solvent and to prepare esters such as propyl acetate.

Propylene: A colourless, gaseous hydrocarbon obtained from petroleum by cracking alkanes, among other petrochemical processes. In the case of our Secunda operations, we produce propylene as a co-product of the Sasol Advanced Synthol process before we convert it downstream into polypropylene and butanol. Reforming: A broad petrochemical process used to change feed molecules in some radical form. For example, naphtha reforming creates high-octane petrol components from low-value naphtha. Reforming also refers to the process of converting methane or natural gas into synthesis gas. Sasol Advanced Synthol (SAS) reactor: The proprietary Sasol reactor at the heart of the SAS process, the high-temperature version of Sasols Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process used at Secunda, to produce a synthetic form of crude oil and chemical feedstock. Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate (Sasol SPD) process: A proprietary version of Sasols low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process, used with an advanced iron or cobalt catalyst, to convert synthesis gas into waxes and related petrochemical streams for producing and marketing waxes and/or diesel. Solvent: A liquid that dissolves other substances to form a solution.

Synthesis: The formation of more complex chemical compounds or molecules from simpler compounds or molecules, as in the FischerTropsch process. Synthesis gas (syngas): A mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen used to produce liquid fuels and chemicals in downstream processes. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Hydrocarbon compounds, including industrial alcohols, ketones and other solvents, that evaporate rapidly and easily at ambient temperature when exposed to the air and which are, or can be, harmful to human health due to overexposure or misuse. Wax: A long-chain paraffinic compound, liquid or solid, with many applications, including hot-melt adhesives, mould-release agents, printing inks, cosmetics, board coatings, polishes, candles, and bitumen additives for road building.
