00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.520
South Africa has made bold commitments
to move to a lower carbon economy despite

2
00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:06.360
its challenging starting point.

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.760
How is Sasol helping to
achieve those objectives?

4
00:00:09.610 --> 00:00:13.600
We see that the root to success is
through creating an ecosystem and through

5
00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:15.040
partnerships. And in this regard,

6
00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:19.040
Sasol is partnering with both the private
sector and with government to enable

7
00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:21.320
this transition to a low carbon economy.

8
00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:25.840
Now we know that South Africa has
tremendous renewable energy potential and

9
00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:28.680
through these partnerships that we've
created with government in the private

10
00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:32.000
sector, we want to unlock that renewable
energy potential for the country.

11
00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:36.080
To add to that point around ecosystem,

12
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:39.720
one of the key areas that we believe will
be important for the success of these

13
00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:43.360
projects, given the fact that they're
highly competitive, is off-takes.

14
00:00:43.730 --> 00:00:48.520
So investors and off-takers will be
looking for credible players and Sasol is

15
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.280
one of the biggest energy players in
the region with credible global reach.

16
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.520
So we are actually utilizing that
opportunity to work very closely with

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.920
government to ensure that the
necessary off-takes are in place.

18
00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:04.200
But at the same time, we have to
develop policies, regulations,

19
00:01:04.530 --> 00:01:08.520
as well as standards that are gonna
be required to enable this transition,

20
00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:10.680
including infrastructure
development. And at Sasol,

21
00:01:10.690 --> 00:01:14.640
we are playing a critical
role and ensuring that South
Africa is actually poised

22
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:15.160
to succeed.
