Sasol has commissioned Envision Energy for a design study into the feasibility of a green hydrogen system at its site in Sasolburg, South Africa. The collaboration was announced during a visit to Envision’s Chifeng Hydrogen Net Zero Industrial Park, Inner Mongolia, by South African Minister of Electricity and Energy Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa.
As part of the design study, integration of renewable energy generation, storage and electrolyser technologies supporting the production of green hydrogen will be assessed. The long-term goal is that the green hydrogen would be used to produce e-methanol and electro-sustainable aviation fuel. The study is expected to conclude in late 2026.
Danie Cronje, Sasol Senior Vice President: Business Building, said: “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.”
Kane Xu, Senior Vice President and President of International Product Line at Envision Energy, commented: “Green hydrogen will play a critical role in reshaping hard-to-abate industries and creating new pathways for sustainable growth. Through AI-powered energy infrastructure and innovative technologies across renewables, storage and green hydrogen, Envision is working with global partners like Sasol to pioneer future energy systems that are infinite, intelligent and inexpensive, accelerating industrial transformation and creating new opportunities for industries and communities worldwide.”
