Energy solutions for Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Aviation is entering a new era. As the world pursues cleaner skies, Sasol is pioneering Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production in South Africa – giving airlines, cargo operators, and airports a drop-in, low-carbon alternative that reduces emissions without compromising performance.

SAF works just like conventional jet fuel but with up to 80% lower lifecycle emissions. That means operators can meet sustainability goals, align with regulations, and keep fleets flying smoothly – all while supporting South Africa’s just energy transition.

Our offering to the aviation sector

At Sasol, we combine decades of proven Fischer-Tropsch expertise, existing infrastructure, and refinery capacity to deliver reliable, cost-effective SAF supply. Together, we can fuel the future of aviation.
