Air Liquide (AL) and Sasol recently have signed two Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with TotalEnergies and its partner Mulilo for the long-term supply of a total capacity of 260㎿ of renewable power to Sasol’s Secunda site, in South Africa, where Air Liquide operates the biggest oxygen production site in the world.

TotalEnergies and Mulilo will create one wind project with a capacity of 140㎿ and one solar project with a capacity of 120 ㎿. These projects are scheduled to be operational in 2025.

This is the second set of PPAs signed by AL and Sasol, after the PPAs announced in January with Enel Green Power for a capacity of 220㎿. Together, these PPAs represent a total of 480㎿ of the joint commitment by AL and Sasol to pursue the procurement of a total capacity of 900㎿ of renewable energy.

AL plans to reduce by 30% to 40% the CO2 emissions arising from its operations on the Secunda site through a multi-year investment and modernization plan and a steep increase of the site’s procurement in renewable energies.
