Sasol ecoFT has signed a letter of intent with Sollefteå municipality in 
collaboration with Sweden's energy company Uniper, to investigate the 
possibility of establishing an industry-scale production facility for 
sustainable aviation fuel. Once built, this highly innovative industrial plant, 
will contribute to the decarbonisation of the aviation industry.

Taking place under the joint venture SkyFuelH2, the ambition is to produce 
sustainable aviation fuel based on green hydrogen and carbon from biomass using 
the Fischer-Tropsch process. The process is based on Sasol's world-class 
proprietary Fischer-Tropsch technology.

Långsele in Sollefteå is the natural site selection for SkyFuelH2, not least 
thanks to the municipality's ambitious growth targets and its supply of 
renewable electricity, carbon from biomass, and suitable land areas.

"We are excited to leverage our proven Fischer-Tropsch technology and 70 years 
of experience in running complex, integrated operations to produce and market 
fuels and chemicals.  By applying green hydrogen and sustainable carbon sources 
as feedstock in our proprietary Power-to-Liquids (PtL) process, we can now 
produce sustainable fuels, thereby contributing to a thriving planet, our 
society and enterprises," said Fleetwood Grobler, President and CEO of Sasol 
Limited.

Swedish Minister for Business, Industry and Innovation Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson 
said SkyFuelH2 is crucial for the evolution of the aviation industry.

"The joint venture is a great example of how new technology can enable the 
green transition in the north of Sweden."

Following the letter of intent, work now continues to further evaluate the 
feasibility to establish SkyFuelH2 in Långsele, Sollefteå.
