Oil and chemicals giant, Sasol, has succeeded in its appeal to the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment which will see its sulphur emissions regulated on an "alternative" basis.
The National Air Quality Officer (NAQO) – which is housed within the department - last year refused Sasol’s application for its sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions to be regulated on an alternative emission load basis, as opposed to the current concentration-based limits.
In essence, Sasol proposed that it turn down its boilers at Secunda to reduce the overall amount of emissions rather than reduce the concentration of SO2 in its emissions.
