On June 2, 2022, Sasol and Uzbekistan GTL signed a Memorandum of Understanding for supply of low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch™ (LTFT™) catalysts.

The signing took place at the 27th Caspian Oil and Gas International Exhibition as part of the Baku Energy Week, one of the most prestigious events in the Caspian region’s energy sector, which takes place in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.
