Sasol secures EU certification for SAF
In Kenya, Serrari Group reported that South African petrochemical giant Sasol has received ISCC Plus sustainability certification from Germany’s TUV SUD agency for sustainable aviation fuel produced at its 108,500-barrel-per-day Natref refinery in Sasolburg.
The certification, which also covers sustainable chemicals produced at Sasol’s Secunda complex, clears the regulatory path for the company to begin exporting SAF to the European Union — a market facing both a deepening jet fuel shortage driven by the Middle East conflict and escalating blending mandates under the EU’s ReFuelEU Aviation regulation, according to the report.
Sasol’s SAF is produced using used cooking oil and vegetable oil, feedstocks that South Africa currently exports in raw form to Europe for refining. The company is targeting one to two million liters of SAF production in 2026, scaling to 16 million liters in 2027 and up to 200 million liters by 2030 across its Natref and Secunda facilities, the report added.
