Energy company Sasol plans two coal-to-liquid fuel projects

Sasol, the top energy firm in South Africa, is entering a crucial phase in planning for its two giant coal-to-liquid (CTL) projects in China.

"Now we are in the second stage of feasibility studies for our two CTL projects," said Chen Liming, executive vice-president of Sasol China.

The current study will determine details in capital costs, feedstock costs, water supplies and market conditions and will outline most of the major commercial and funding issues, said Chen.
