Sasol (SSL)- They are a South African Oil and Gas concern, but my primary interest in them is their emphasis on alternative or synthetic fuel sources.
Here's their profile from Yahoo. I think they are a very interesting company. I've owned a small amount for a while in an IRA, but started establishing a larger trading position today.
Sasol Limited, through its subsidiaries, operates as an integrated oil and gas company. It engages in exploring and producing crude oil offshore of Gabon; refining crude oil into liquid fuels in South Africa; and the retail of liquid fuels and lubricants through a network of retail service centers. It primarily offers liquid and gaseous fuels, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, fuel alcohol, illuminating paraffin, fuel oils, and liquefied petroleum gas, as well as lubricants. The company also produces and markets chemicals and synthetic fuels. Sasol manufactures syngas from natural gas and low-grade coal, as well as converts syngas into a range of products, including synfuels, chemical feedstock, and industrial pipeline gas; surfactants; surfactant intermediates, including alcohols and alkylates; monomers; and inorganic specialty chemicals derived mostly from coal and chemical feedstocks. In addition, it engages in the production and marketing of ethylene and propylene monomers, polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride polymers, as well as a range of oxygenated solvents. Further, Sasol also involves in international petroleum and gas exploration and production; coal mining; and wax, fertilizer, and explosive products production. The company offers its products worldwide. Sasol was established in 1950 and is headquartered in Rosebank, South Africa
