Sasol Lake Charles LAB Plant (MOTHBALLED Q2-Q3 2025)
Sasol mothballed its LAB production unit at Lake Charles in Q2-Q3 2025 due to 'decline in competitiveness due to energy costs in Europe and market oversupply.' However, in March 2026, Strait of Hormuz supply disruption created conditions where Huntsman, CEPSA, and Sasol Gulf Coast units reportedly gained 'full pricing power' — suggesting possible recommissioning or partial restart. Sasol's Lake Charles Complex uses Fischer-Tropsch-derived normal paraffins as feedstock rather than refinery kerosene — a unique process advantage but higher capital cost.
