Sasol and Envision advance green hydrogen design collaboration for Sasolburg
In China, South African firm Sasol said it has commissioned Envision Energy to undertake a design study for a green hydrogen system at its Sasolburg operations, marking an important step in evaluating pathways to produce lower-carbon fuels and chemicals.
The collaboration was showcased during a visit by South African Minister of Electricity and Energy, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, to Envision’s Chifeng Hydrogen Net Zero Industrial Park in Inner Mongolia, during the South Africa-China Energy Investment Conference.
The design study will assess the integration of renewable energy generation, storage and electrolyzer technologies to support the production of green hydrogen. Subject to the outcomes of the study and future investment decisions, the green hydrogen could be used in the production of eMethanol and potentially sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) at Sasolburg.
“The design study with Envision is an important step in assessing how integrated renewables, energy storage and electrolyser technologies could support cost-competitive green hydrogen production at Sasolburg. By drawing on leading global expertise, we can evaluate how these technologies may contribute to future lower-carbon fuel and chemical value chains, while building on Sasol’s existing industrial capabilities,” said Danie Cronje, Sasol Senior Vice President: Business Building.
