A very interesting photo that my dad took the other day. In the foreground is the Graceland Casino, in sharp contrast to the Sasol plant in the background. Sasol is an acronym for Suid Afrikaanse Steenkool en Olie (South African Coal and Oil). This organisation was established in 1950 and in 2009 had assets to the value of US$18.9 Billion and revenue of US$4.4 Billion.
"As the world's only commercial oil-from-coal producer, Sasol's initial quest was to synthetically produce liquid fuels and chemicals from coal, a milestone that was achieved in 1955" - Sasol 50 Years of Innovation
Today Sasol produces over 300 products including petrol, diesel, fertilisers, explosives, wax, and many chemicals used in various industries.
