Introduction The Sasol Group (Sasol) is a proudly South African based, yet global energy and chemicals company, which is internationally recognised for its innovative proprietary technologies to convert coal-to-liquid (CTL) and gas-to-liquid (GTL) into liquid fuels, fuel components and a whole host of chemical products. Sasol is also an independent power producer. Sasol’s CTL technology is used to produce more than a third of South Africa’s transportation fuels which is of strategic importance to the country. Coal, which is the main feedstock in the gasification process, is extracted by Sasol Mining which operates one of the world’s largest underground coal-mining complexes near Secunda in the Mpumalanga province. Sasol Mining’s Secunda Complex has been operational for almost 50 years and annually produces approximately 41 Mt of coal destined for the following markets: • Domestic market: the majority of the coal mined in Secunda area is used as gasification feedstock in Sasol’s CTL operations. By utilising various processes, Sasol beneficiates the coal into a number of products such as petrol, diesel, jet- fuel, chemicals and chemical by-products; and • Export market: a small percentage, roughly 3,5 Mt is exported to European and Asian markets. Sasol Mining is the holder of a mining right, also referred to as the Secunda Complex mining right, with the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) reference number MP 30/5/1/2/2/138 MR, which includes the associated
