Sasol slammed by SA’s pollution regulator over lack of investment

Sasol was castigated by South Africa’s national air quality officer for failing to cut pollution as its bid for an exemption to sulfur dioxide emission limits at a giant petrochemical complex was denied. The exemption at the Secunda plant was refused because Sasol hadn’t demonstrated an effort to curb emissions of the toxin, is already benefiting from a 10-year postponement and is breaching legal levels for other pollutants, Patience Gwaze said in her decision.

The company, South Africa’s biggest by revenue, had applied to have its sulfur dioxide emissions measured in terms of the total tonnage emitted over a period of time rather than the industry standard of concentration of the toxin.
