Sasol executive VP: energy Maurice Radebe, above, led the team that provided a vision of the potential way forward for the use of more gas in the generation of power in South Africa. With coal the dominant fuel, and being in abundant supply, gas is seen as blazing a lower-carbon trail. To initiate gas’s entry, Sasol expects liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be imported and power produced from the LNG brought in at the port of entry, which could be South African ports such as Saldanha Bay, Coega or Richards Bay. Sasol, which is already using its own gas to generate 440 MW of low-carbon power, is preparing to respond to a government tender for the generation of 3 126 MW of gas-fired power, which is expected to be invited in the first half of 2016.
