In 2010, we continued to implement a comprehensive  programme to address air and water quality and  waste management.  as bring the new gas reformer on line,  during 2012. This will further sustain our  plant’s operations in the decades ahead. Improving our environmental performance  remains an important strategic objective.  In 2010, we continued to implement  a comprehensive programme to address  air and water quality and waste  management. We completed a pre- feasibility study to improve the  management of the long-term salt  and water balance in Secunda, and are  developing a number of projects to  support this goal. In November, our board  approved the first phase of a four-year  programme to reduce volatile organic  compounds in the tar value chain. We are  also investigating the feasibility of various  options to reduce particulate emissions,  in line with new legislation. In pursuit of the group’s strategic  objective of nurturing and growing our  current asset base, the Sasol board also  sanctioned R14,2 billion for the Secunda  growth programme. This includes  R4,2 billion for infrastructure  development. It will involve the  modification of the facility to  accommodate a total 54 M GJ a year  of natural gas from Mozambique  (from a current baseline of 15 M GJ).  The expansion, which is underway and  due to be completed in 2014, will allow  for an approximate 3,2% increase in  production. It will also boost power  generation by around a third. In this  Along with Sasol Oil, we continue to  prepare the Secunda complex for an  expected change in the national fuel  In 2010, we completed the construction  of a 132 kilovolt substation and made  good progress in the construction of  our 16th air separation unit and tenth  Sasol Advanced Synthol™ reactor as part  of our growth programme.  Our gas turbines are part of Sasol’s  efficiency drive as they emit less carbon  dioxide than coal-fired power generators.  Energy efficiency is of strategic  importance to Sasol Synfuels because  it lessens the environmental impact of  our operations. Good progress has been  made on a number of key energy  efficiency projects, predominantly heat  integration opportunities in our  gasification and Synthol processes.  With electricity savings of 75 MW  achieved so far, we are well on the way  to meeting our immediate target of  80 MW. We are also considering a number  of power-generation projects, including  opportunities to generate electricity  from low-grade heat. respect, we are pleased to report the  successful start-up of two open-cycle gas  turbines, producing 200 megawatts (MW)  of electricity. Following the signing of a  power purchase agreement with state  utility, Eskom, Sasol is now supplying  power to the national grid. The  construction of an 80 MW heat recovery  steam generation facility downstream  of these gas turbines is progressing  satisfactorily. specifications. With a novel technical  solution, we believe we may be able to  modify the facility in a more cost- effective manner than previously  proposed. However, we continue to  consider various options to limit any  associated decrease in production  volumes. Sasol Synfuels is committed to the South  African transformation agenda. We have  plans in place to meet our targets, mainly  focused on skills development and  employment equity. Ensuring we have  the capability to execute large projects  in a competitive manner is also of key  importance given our signifi cant capital  investment over the next ten years.  We have a good pipeline of skilled artisans  and process controllers, with 755 people  enrolled in our learnership programme  over the last four years. Of them, 78% are  black and 19% are women. Some 48% of  employees ranked as fi rst-line supervisors  and higher are from historically  disadvantaged groups. We continue to  improve our working environment,  leadership capability and the overall  competence of our team.
