SSI retained its world-class safety record even though  the RCR increased slightly from 0,30 in 2009 to 0,31 in 2010. Oryx GTL is the world’s largest  commercial-scale GTL facility. It produces  environmentally friendly liquid fuels from  natural gas sourced from Qatar’s North  Field. During the second half of the  financial year, Oryx GTL recorded an  exceptional performance and during  March 2010, produced, on average, in  excess of 30 000 barrels a day (b/d).  We are now in the process of debottle- necking the facility by 10% and also have  our sights set on expanding the facility  when the time is right. This fully supports  the country’s aspirations of additional  economic diversifi cation. The development of the Escravos  gas-to-liquids (EGTL) plant in Nigeria  is advancing and we are expecting  completion of the project in 2012. SSI  is committed to providing experienced  people for the successful commissioning  and start-up of this facility. the study in the new financial year. Should  the project go ahead, Sasol’s technology  and GTL experience will be key  contributors. clean diesel, naphtha and some liquefi ed  petroleum gas (LPG). In Indonesia,  SSI signed a memorandum of  understanding with the Indonesian  government in December 2009 to carry  out a high-level screening study into the  viability of an integrated CTL plant. SSI is also progressing well with its plans  to develop Sasol’s first CTL plant outside  South Africa. During the year, the  feasibility study for a plant at the  Ningdong Energy and Chemicals Base in  China was completed, with encouraging  results. In December 2009, Sasol and our  partner, Shenhua Ningxia Coal Group,  submitted a project application report  to the Chinese government, requesting  approval for the CTL plant. Signifi cant  focus on improving the overall effi ciency  of the CTL process has resulted in a design  with an energy efficiency that is  approaching 50% greater than traditional  facilities. Concomitantly, this has led to  a similar reduction in water usage and also  a significant reduction in CO$_{2}$ emissions.  We have identified opportunities to  capture and store CO$_{2}$ near to the plant,  which could offer the possibility to  effectively reduce CO$_{2}$ emissions by  as much as 50%. During the year,  a representative office was opened in  Yinchuan, which is the closest city to the  Ningdong Energy and Chemicals Base. In India, SSI and the Tata Group made  steady progress in a pre-feasibility study  for a CTL plant. This would likely have a  capacity in the order of 80 000 b/d of  Uzbekistan has ambitions to enhance its  energy security through GTL. In 2010,  Sasol and its partners, Uzbekneftegaz and  Petronas, launched a feasibility study to  assess the commercial and technical  viability of a GTL facility producing around  1,3 million tons of product a year –  including jet kerosene. This is progressing  well and we are targeting completion of  During the year, we continued the  construction of our third cobalt-based  production unit. This new Sasolburg  facility, the commissioning of which is  expected to be completed soon, will  support our GTL and CTL ambitions.  We are also working on the development  of cobalt catalyst regeneration technology  to reduce operating costs at GTL and CTL  plants, which are already benefi ting  from improvements in the catalyst’s  performance and service life.  Sasol is committed to making all future  operations more environmentally benign.  In particular, we are focusing on  opportunities to reduce factory emissions  of greenhouse gases through improved  efficiencies and employing new  technology, and to mitigate emissions  through the implementation of effi cient  CO$_{2}$ storage solutions. Sasol will only  invest in future CTL plants if there is  a viable CO$_{2}$ management solution. 44 Ensuring environmental  sustainability Establishing the feasibility of a GTL  plant in Uzbekistan Advancing plans for CTL Flagship GTL plant performing well Progress with the catalyst business
