Botswana plans to follow in the footsteps of Sasol in introducing coal-to-liquid fuel technology while the chemical giant turns its focus to gas.

Sasol, the world’s biggest coal-to-gasoline producer, says full-year profit climbed 25% after production at its synfuels division increased.

South Africa’s Sasol is looking for more gas across Africa and beyond to boost its production of chemicals and synthetic fuels.
