The company's Secunda Operations are the core of Sasol's Southern African Operations,

The operations contribute to job creation, sustainable development and security of supply

Synfuels Operations, Secunda Chemicals Operations, Sasol Energy and Group Technology.
Sasol Mining operates ve coal mines in Mpumalanga that supply feedstock for the
Secunda Synfuels Operations complex. The coal is mainly used as gasication feedstock
and to generate electricity. Sasol Mining also exports coal from its Twistdraai Export Plant
to international power generation customers. As some of these mines are approaching the
end of their useful lives, new developments are underway to ensure continued supply
through the company's Mine replacement programme.
Secunda Synfuels Operations operates the world's largest coal-to-liquid manufacturing
facility, producing synthesis gas (syngas) through coal gasication and natural gas
reforming. The operating hub uses proprietary technology to convert syngas into
synthetic fuel components, pipeline gas and feedstock for producing chemicals.

manufacturing facility that produces and adds further value to the Sasol chemicals value
chains. Secunda Chemicals Operations also provides Sites Services, Infrastructure
