Haldor Topsoe and Sasol unite to offer

customers single-point licenses for proven gas-
to-liquids solutions

02.12.2019

Sasol and Haldor Topsoe, two of the global leaders in gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology, have
entered into a collaboration agreement to offer single-point licensing of proven and bankable GTL
solutions to produce diesel, kerosene and naphtha from natural gas.
The Sasol-Topsoe partnership is a response to growing worldwide demand for efficient solutions
to monetize natural gas reserves.
Together, the two companies offer medium to world-scale sized GTL solutions that are positioned
to meet the demands of a sustainable future.

Today, Topsoe and Sasol announced that they have entered into a collaboration agreement to jointly
license their GTL technologies. For many years, the two companies have worked together on numerous
GTL projects and technologies, and Topsoe’s SynCOR™ technologies and Sasol’s Fischer-Tropsch
technologies have been licensed into several world-scale GTL ventures.

Acting Executive Vice President of Sasol, Marius Brand, (left) and CEO and President of Topsoe, Bjerne S.
Clausen, signed the partner agreement witnessed by (from left to right) Vice President of Sasol, Theo Pretorius,
Deputy CEO of Haldor Topsoe, Amy Hebert, and Vice President of Topsoe, Fei Chen. 

Under the collaboration agreement, the companies will continue to offer these core technologies and
will now also provide Topsoe’s hydroprocessing and hydrogen technologies. This gives potential
customers access to a single-point licensing offering that covers the entire value chain from gas feed to
liquid fuels. As single-point licensors, Sasol and Topsoe will offer customers all necessary technology
licenses for a complete GTL solution and in addition provide basic engineering, catalysts, and hardware.

TechnipFMC has been pre-approved to provide licensor engineering support and carry out front-end
engineering design, detailed design, procurement, and construction. TechnipFMC was the engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the Oryx GTL facility in Qatar and has performed a
number of front-end engineering designs for GTL facilities, including the Uzbekistan GTL.

“It is a pleasure to announce this collaboration. Together, Sasol and Topsoe now offer customers
complete and proven end-to-end GTL solutions. This is unique and extremely valuable for customers
seeking bankable GTL solutions for monetizing abundant natural gas reserves. With this collaboration,
we now offer customers a full range of solutions based on many of Topsoe’s core technologies, and we
are excited to expand our companies’ global leadership for proven gas monetization solutions,” says
Amy Hebert, Deputy CEO of Topsoe.

Marius Brand, Acting EVP Technology of Sasol, adds: “Sasol and Haldor Topsoe’s technology relationship
spans more than 20 years, through which we have successfully commercialized several advanced
technologies. We are delighted to enter into this collaboration arrangement, and with the support of
TechnipFMC we’re able to offer the best GTL technology to the market. Although Sasol announced in
2017 it would not pursue future equity participation in greenfield Coal to Liquids or GTL opportunities,
we recognize that our Fischer-Tropsch technology has a role to play in monetizing in-country natural gas
