Sasol and Topsoe to accelerate global SAF production

Sasol and Topsoe have signed a landmark agreement to establish a 50/50 joint venture solidifying their commitment to produce sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
The purpose of the Sasol Topsoe venture is to develop, build, own, and operate sustainable aviation fuel plants, and market sustainable aviation fuels derived primarily from non-fossil feedstock, utilising green hydrogen, sustainable sources of CO2 and/or biomass with a specific focus on Sasol’s Fischer Tropsch and Topsoe’s related technologies.
Together, this proven partnership intends to bring future-proof solutions to the market.
Fleetwood Grobler, Sasol President and CEO, said: "Sasol is delighted to join forces with Topsoe, furthering our global sustainable aviation fuel aspiration. This is an important milestone in advancing our long-term strategy to become net-zero by 2050.
“As we transform our business to focus on decarbonization while preserving and growing value, this JV is testament to the decades of collaboration between our two companies.”
Roeland Baan, CEO at Topsoe, added: “As part of our proven partnership, this future business is an important moment of progress at a critical time.
“We need to keep the world open by creating more sustainable ways of flying, and our shared commitment to accelerating sustainable aviation fuels is a vital part of this. We believe no one is better placed than the company formed by Sasol and Topsoe to deliver the means to scale SAF production.”
