This development is a significant step towards the implementation of CO 2 hydrogenation technology in South Africa. For decades, Sasol has been using its Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology to convert low-grade coal and gas into synthetic fuels and chemicals. Sasol’s suite of cobalt catalysts is highly efficient for the latter process.
