carbonNEXT is proud to partner with South Africa’s Sasol, a global chemicals and energy company, for a new Challenge in our award-winning SDG Connect series: DAC to the Future. Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology will play a large role in achieving the net zero future.

Sasol is a global supplier to a wide variety of industries, comprised of three distinct market-focused businesses: chemicals, energy, and Sasol ecoFT.

Through the DAC to the Future Challenge, Sasol is seeking solutions for cost effective implementation of DAC and integration into the feedstock value chain.

A successful solution will:

• Be able to successfully integrate into the Secunda complex
• Offer integration of the captured CO2 into the feedstock value chain to produce low carbon products such as green chemicals, green petrol/diesel, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
• Be cost-effective
• Ideally, be able to capture CO2 from both the air and point sources

This SDG Connect Challenge is supported by the Trade Commissioner Service of Canada and is presented as a part of carbonNEXT, a partnership between Foresight and Carbon Management Canada powered by Scotiabank and Prairies Economic Development Canada.
