Sasol set to appeal as its bid to change emission standards at Secunda is shot down | Business

Chemicals and energy group Sasol said on Wednesday its application to have its sulphur dioxide emissions from boilers at Secunda judged on mass and rate rather than concentration has been denied, though it will be appealing to the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment.

Sasol said in a statement that over the past five years it had spent more than R7 billion on emission-reduction projects at Secunda, Sasolburg and Natref, and had achieved MES compliance for 98% of its emission sources at these operations. The only remaining challenge was achieving the concentration-based limit for sulphur dioxide emissions from the boilers at Secunda.

The group said on Wednesday it remained committed to ambient air quality improvement, legal compliance, transforming its operations and reducing its environmental footprint in line with its strategy.
