Envision Energy, a global leader in green technology, has collaborated with Sasol, a global energy and chemicals company, to advance the design study of a potential green hydrogen system.
The collaboration marks an important step in exploring how future energy system can integrate renewable power, energy storage and electrolyser technologies to unlock new pathways to support the development of lower-carbon fuels and chemicals, including potential applications in eMethanol and sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF).
The design study will evaluate how renewable power generation, energy storage and electrolyser systems can be integrated to optimise green hydrogen production based on energy availability, market conditions and operational requirements.
Sasol will leverage Envision’s expertise in renewable energy, battery energy storage systems, green hydrogen and AI-enabled energy management to evaluate opportunities. It will leverage its existing industrial capabilities and infrastructure while exploring technologies that can support its energy transition pathway and future market opportunities.
Kane Xu, Senior Vice President and President of International Product Line at Envision Energy, said green hydrogen will play a critical role in reshaping hard-to-abate industries and creating new pathways for sustainable growth.
“Through AI-powered energy infrastructure and innovative technologies across renewables, storage and green hydrogen, Envision is working with global partners like Sasol to pioneer future energy systems that are infinite, intelligent and inexpensive, accelerating industrial transformation and creating new opportunities for industries and communities worldwide.”
Danie Cronje, Sasol Senior Vice President: Business Building, stated that the design study with Envision is an important step in assessing how integrated renewables, energy storage and electrolyser technologies could support cost-competitive green hydrogen production at Sasolburg.
“By drawing on leading global expertise, we can evaluate how these technologies may contribute to future lower-carbon fuel and chemical value chains, while building on Sasol’s existing industrial capabilities.”
The design study will be completed later this year and will provide technical and commercial insights to support potential future investment decisions.
