In industrial chemistry, coal gasification is the process of producing syngas—a mixture consisting primarily of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapour—from coal and water, air and/or oxygen.
See Secunda CTL and Coal gasification
Coal liquefaction
Coal liquefaction is a process of converting coal into liquid hydrocarbons: liquid fuels and petrochemicals.
See Secunda CTL and Coal liquefaction
Concor
Concor Holdings (Proprietary) Limited. is a South African construction and mining services company.
Fischer–Tropsch process
The Fischer–Tropsch process (FT) is a collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, known as syngas, into liquid hydrocarbons.
See Secunda CTL and Fischer–Tropsch process
Greenhouse gas
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the gases in the atmosphere that raise the surface temperature of planets such as the Earth.

South Africa
South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa (RSA), is the southernmost country in Africa.
See Secunda CTL and South Africa
Synthetic fuel
Synthetic fuel or synfuel is a liquid fuel, or sometimes gaseous fuel, obtained from syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in which the syngas was derived from gasification of solid feedstocks such as coal or biomass or by reforming of natural gas.
