»Sasol Synthetic Fuel Wins Approval For Commercial Aviation Use
ξ Sasol has announced that it has become the first company worldwide to receive international approval for its 100% synthetic jet fuel
ξ produced by its proprietary Coal to Liquids (CTL) process
ξ sanctioned by global aviation fuel specification authorities
ξ Sasol CTL will be the first fully synthetic fuel to be approved for use in commercial airliners
ξ This marks a significant development in the adoption of clean burning alternative fuels for the aviation industry;
ξ engine-out emissions of Sasol's jet fuel are lower than those from jet fuel derived from crude oil due to its limited sulphur content
ξ Approval of Sasol's CTL fuel for commercial aviation is also a milestone
ξ in the effort to secure domestic energy supply for South Africa and
ξ other countries with significant domestic coal and natural gas reserves;
ξ Sasol's transformative technology will allow these countries to monetize natural resources and increase energy security.
ξ Pat Davies, CE of Sasol said, "This is an historic breakthrough
ξ -- winning approval for a transportation fuel that is 100% synthetic.
ξ This approval by the international aviation fuel authorities recognizes the absolute need
ξ to develop aviation fuel from feedstocks other than crude-oil in order to meet the world's growing needs
ξ "Sasol is the global leader and pioneer in advanced synthetic fuel technology and
ξ this is a huge step forward toward integrating a viable alternative transportation fuel into the energy mix and
ξ showing the way forward for countries seeking security in a world that is thirsty for energy."
ξ Sasol, for the past nine years, has supplied a fuel mixture comprised of a CTL component
ξ blended with crude oil derived kerosene to international airlines operating from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.
ξ Based on the success of the alternative fuel blend and following a several-year period of rigorous testing and evaluation,
ξ international aviation fuel authorities including the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD),
ξ governing the Defence Standard DEFSTAN 91-91,
ξ approved Sasol's wholly synthetic jet fuel as Jet A-1 fuel for commercial use in all types of turbine aircraft.
ξ ASTM International, originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials,
ξ has also been working closely with the UK MoD and
ξ is expected to include Sasol CTL synthetic jet fuel in its ASTM D1655 specification following the publication of the UK's DEFSTAN 91-91.
ξ Jet A-1 according to the DEF STAN 91-91 specification is very similar to Jet A-1 defined by the ASTM D1655
ξ except for a small number of areas where DEF STAN 91-91 is more stringent.
ξ In keeping with the stringent regulation of the Joint Checklist,
ξ aviation industry stakeholders, including airframe, engine and ancillary equipment manufacturers;
ξ airlines and aviation authorities such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA); and
ξ relevant oil companies have all participated in the approval process.
ξ The fuel is fully fungible and aligned with the current aviation infrastructure through its compatibility with the existing engine requirements
ξ and can be used with conventional crude oil-derived jet fuelling systems.
ξ In addition to the benefiting the end-user,
ξ Sasol's process also enhances value by adding synthetic jet fuel to the product range available to the resource provider,
ξ who will now have another Sasol produced alternative to crude-oil derived fuels.
ξ The current approval covers jet fuel produced at Sasol's Synfuels facility in Secunda, South Africa.
ξ The production in Secunda holds broader implications for the alternative fuel mix
ξ as it paves the way for future global production and the use of synthetic fuels for use in transportation.
ξ Sasol jet fuel products that will also be submitted for sanction include Oryx GTL plant in Qatar,
ξ the joint venture GTL plant in Nigeria and the potential CTL ventures in the USA, China and India.
ξ Research is also underway to find an effective process to produce synthetic fuel from biomass
ξ to further improve environmental sustainability.
