There is a lot more to us than energy. We are involved in oil exploration, exploitation and mining to discovering ways of using the harsh South African Sun to boil a kettle of water.

CEF is involved in the search for appropriate energy solutions to meet the future energy needs of South Africa, SADC and the sub-Saharan African region, including oil, gas, electrical power, solar energy, low-smoke fuels, biomass, wind and renewable energy sources. CEF also manages the operation and development of the oil and gas assets and operations of the South African government.

CEF, through its integrated oil company subsidiary, PetroSA, is involved in the exploration for oil and gas onshore and offshore South Africa, as well as the rest of Africa; the production of environmentally friendly petroleum fuels and petrochemical products from gas and condensate at its synfuels refinery outside Mossel Bay; and the management of oil storage facilities. SFF manages South Africa's strategic reserves of crude oil.

CEF has established a new and exciting division, EDC (Energy Development Corporation). This division pursues commercially viable investments in renewable energy (with the exception of natural oil and other already commercialised and developed energy technologies in Southern Africa). This division focuses on a number of niche areas, commercial projects, developmental projects which catalyze the renewable energy sector and social projects which benefit previously disadvantaged communities.

CEF subsidiary company, Oil Pollution Control SA, provides oil prevention, control and clean-up services, mainly in South African ports and coastal areas, in terms of South Africa's National Environmental Management Act (NEMA).

CEF, through its subsidiary Petroleum Agency South Africa, manages the promotion and licensing of oil and gas exploration, development and production in South Africa and the coastal areas offshore South Africa as part of creating a viable upstream oil industry in the country.

CEF subsidiary iGas acts as the official agent of the South African Government for the development of the hydrocarbon gas industry, comprising liquified natural gas (LNG) and petroleum gas (LPG), in South Africa.
