The company is among 57 companies globally responsible for 80% of carbon dioxide emissions.
Sasol is on the list of 57 big companies that produced 80% of the world’s CO2 emissions from 2016 to 2022, according to a new report from the Carbon Majors database earlier this month.
Sasol was ranked at number 47 for historical emissions during the years 1854 to 2022 in the Carbon Majors report. Two other South African companies, Seriti Resources and Exxaro Resources, were also listed as carbon majors, both from 2016-2022 and from 1854 to 2022. Sasol has committed to reduce greenhouse gases by 30% by 2030 and reach Net Zero emissions by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement. In terms of the Paris Agreement, which was signed by South Africa, emissions must be reduced to zero by 2050 in order to keep global temperature limited to a 1.5°C increase.
