Stars
Performance Chemicals and Specialty Surfactants
Sasol's Chemicals America and Eurasia are shifting to specialty surfactants, with Q1 FY26 specialty volumes up 6% and specialty margins ~18% vs 10% for commodities, driving a 4% revenue mix tilt toward specialties and lifting segment EBIT by $85m year‑over‑year.
Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
By March 2026, Sasol has secured over 1,200 MW of renewable capacity in South Africa, scaling toward a 2 GW 2030 target; this Star drives high growth as domestic renewables expand at ~8-10% CAGR and cuts Secunda scope 2 emissions materially.
These PPAs de-risk Secunda operations, lower projected carbon costs (avoiding potential EU CBAM charges that could add tens of $/t CO2), and protect Sasol's license to operate while supporting near-term EBITDA resilience.
Mozambique Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) Gas
The Mozambique PSA reached a milestone in late 2025 with first LPG loading and a commissioned 450 MW power plant; Q1 FY26 gas from new wells rose 34% YoY to ~3.4 million GJ, replacing declining legacy feedstock and cutting Sasol's coal burn by an estimated 18% in FY25-26.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Partnerships
Sasol's SAF Partnerships target 650,000 tonnes/year green jet fuel via Green Fuels Hamburg and Secunda pilots, with initial commercial volumes from 2026; capex to scale estimated at ~€1.2-1.5bn for Hamburg phase 1 (2025-2028).
EU SAF mandates push 63% CAGR demand to 2030 for SAF in Europe; Sasol's proprietary Fischer-Tropsch gives a tech lead and high entry barriers, securing first-mover status and star positioning in the BCG matrix.
- 650,000 tpa target
- Initial commercial 2026
- Estimated phase‑1 capex €1.2-1.5bn
- EU mandates → ~63% CAGR to 2030
- Proprietary Fischer‑Tropsch = tech moat
Methane-Rich Gas (MRG) Bridging Solutions
Sasol has validated MRG use to bridge South Africa's gas cliff from 2028-2030, securing a critical aggregator role and targeting ~60-70% of industrial transition demand; pilot runs showed 95% methane purity and 820 TJ/day capacity potential in 2025 tests.
The high-growth MRG solution meets urgent energy-security needs as conventional imports fall ~40% by 2030, and Sasol projects MRG revenue of ZAR 6.4bn in FY2025 from industrial contracts.
- Technical feasibility: 95% methane purity, 820 TJ/day pilot (2025)
- Market share target: 60-70% industrial transition demand
- Revenue estimate: ZAR 6.4bn FY2025 from MRG contracts
- Timing: bridge period 2028-2030 amid 40% drop in conventional imports
Sasol pivots to high-growth SAF, 1.2GW renewables & MRG scale-up for margin and decarbonization
Stars: Sasol's SAF (650k tpa target; phase‑1 capex €1.2-1.5bn; EU SAF demand ~63% CAGR to 2030) and Renewables (1,200 MW secured by Mar‑2026 toward 2 GW by 2030) plus MRG (95% purity, 820 TJ/day pilot, ZAR 6.4bn FY2025) drive high growth, margin expansion, and decarbonisation.
| Asset | Key metric | 2025/2026 value |
|---|---|---|
| SAF | Target / capex | 650k tpa / €1.2-1.5bn |
| Renewables | Capacity | 1,200 MW (secured) |
| MRG | Pilot / revenue | 95% purity, 820 TJ/day / ZAR 6.4bn |

Cash Cows
Secunda Synfuels Operations
Secunda Synfuels, the world's largest oxygen-to-liquids plant, produced over 6.7 million tonnes of fuel and chemicals in 2025 and, despite a heavy carbon footprint, delivered most of Sasol's R51.8 billion adjusted EBITDA, funding the group's full decarbonization roadmap.
South African Retail Fuel Network
Sasol holds a 20-25% share of South Africa's liquid fuels market via a retail network of 400+ service stations, making it a cash cow in the BCG matrix. The market is mature and low-growth, delivering steady, predictable cash flow with lower capital intensity than upstream oil and gas. In 2025 Sasol's cash position was bolstered by a R4.3 billion Transnet legal settlement, strengthening the balance sheet and funding operations and dividends. This segment helps finance higher-risk, higher-growth projects within Sasol's portfolio.
Pande-Temane Petroleum Production Agreement (PPA)
The Pande-Temane PPA supplies >80% of Sasol's current gas, delivering low-cost feedstock with operating margins near 45% in FY2025 and generating about $420m EBITDA in 2025.
These legacy Mozambican fields are in natural decline but need minimal capex-capex ~ $30m in 2025-so they act as high-margin cash cows.
Sasol redirected roughly $300m of cash flow from Pande-Temane in 2025 into PSA well development and $120m into renewables to fund long-term transition.
Base Chemicals (Polyethylene and Alcohols)
Sasol's base chemicals, led by polyethylene and alcohols and a 50% stake in the Louisiana Integrated Polyethylene JV, generated stable cash flows in 2025 despite soft commodities; the segment produced 1.5 Mtpa ethane cracker output and contributed roughly US$1.1 billion EBITDA to group results in FY2025.
The low-cost ethane feedstock integration kept unit cash costs near US$350/ton in 2025, supporting free cash flow that helped reduce net debt to about US$3.4 billion by year-end, moving toward the US$3.0 billion target.
- 1.5 Mtpa ethane cracker output
- ~US$1.1bn EBITDA (FY2025)
- Cash cost ~US$350/ton (2025)
- Net debt lowered to ~US$3.4bn (YE2025)
Natref Refinery Joint Venture
Natref Refinery joint venture commissioned a third low-carbon boiler in May 2025, cutting emissions intensity and boosting throughput as a mature producer of white and black fuels; in FY2025 Natref handled ~180,000 barrels/month at >92% utilization, providing stable, low-growth EBITDA and complementing Secunda's synthetic fuels.
- Commissioning: May 2025 - 3rd low‑carbon boiler
- Throughput: ~180,000 bbl/month in FY2025
- Utilization: >92% average
- Role: Stable, low‑growth JV revenue; complements Secunda
- Strategic: Key to South Africa domestic fuel security
Sasol's cash‑cow FY25: Secunda, chemicals, Pande‑Temane & Natref cut net debt to US$3.4bn
Secunda, Natref, Pande‑Temane and base chemicals drove Sasol's cash‑cow engine in FY2025-Secunda output 6.7 Mt, base chemicals EBITDA US$1.1bn, Pande‑Temane EBITDA ~$420m, Natref ~180,000 bbl/mo at >92% util; helped cut net debt to ~US$3.4bn and fund R300m capex to transition.
| Asset | 2025 Key | EBITDA/Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Secunda | 6.7 Mt output | Main EBITDA contributor |
| Base chemicals | 1.5 Mtpa cracker | US$1.1bn EBITDA |
| Pande‑Temane | Low capex | ~US$420m EBITDA |
| Natref | 180,000 bbl/mo | >92% util |
