Sasol and General Electric (GE: NYSE)’s GE Power & Water have together developed new technology that will clean waste water from Fischer-Tropsch plants used to produce synthetic fuels and chemicals, while also providing biogas as a by-product for power generation. The treatment of GTL-derived effluents is complex and challenging.

To accomplish this, they plan to build a single reactor capable of performing two chemical processes in one step. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was discovered in Germany about a century ago and is still used in places like South Africa and Quatar to convert coal and natural gas into liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources. 70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020.
