[IMG: Climate protection is a central component of the BASF strategy. For many years, the company has been continuously reducing its CO2 emissions. For further significant reduction innovative processes, such as the synthesis gas direct conversion for the synthesis of olefins, our research is developing. Olefins are intermediate substances, for the production of cleaning materials, aroma chemicals or superabsorbents. New process technologies and catalysts can reduce the carbon footprint of olefin production by up to 50 percent.Lab Team Leader Sabine Schuster and chemical laboratory technician Oliver Secosan are changing the catalysts in the new synthesis gas direct conversion plant.]

[IMG: Superconductors transmit electric power with negligible line losses and have high current-carrying capacity compared to copper. This will make it possible to generate and transmit electricity in a resource-saving manner in future.
For the efficient production of high-temperature superconductors Deutsche Nanoschicht GmbH, a BASF Group company, has developed a unique process: very thin films of a superconducting material are applied to a metal strip in a continuous process by a technique called chemical solution deposition. In contrast to other, physical methods, the chemical process requires neither a vacuum nor a clean room environment. This provides a decisive advantage for the production costs of the superconducting wires.

[H2] Transformation of our production sites
Climate protection is of central importance to us. That is why we are driving our transformation towards climate neutrality in all regions. This is how we are reducing CO2 emissions at our major production sites.
[IMG: Das Herz der BASF-Gruppe ist die BASF SE mit ihrem Stammwerk in Ludwigshafen am Rhein. Mit etwa 250 Produktionsbetrieben, vielen hundert Laboren, Technika, Werkstätten und Büros auf einer Fläche von rund zehn Quadratkilometern, ist es der größte zusammenhängende Chemiekomplex der Welt.Das Stammwerk der BASF ist auch die Wiege des Verbundkonzepts: Produktionsanlagen, Energieflüsse und Logistik werden intelligent miteinander vernetzt, um Ressourcen so effizient wie möglich zu nutzen.]
[H2] Ludwigshafen, Germany
200 production plants, ten square kilometers, one goal: net zero by 2045. The Ludwigshafen headquarters is the world’s largest integrated chemical complex. Here, we are driving forward major technology projects that play a pioneering role across BASF, developing completely new technologies to produce CO2-free hydrogen, such as methane pyrolysis1 or water electrolysis2. With our own wind farms and long-term supply contracts for renewable energy, we are replacing fossil fuels and using renewable and recycled raw materials in production – for example in the ChemCycling™ project, in which we manufacture high-quality products from chemically recycled plastic waste. We are also testing pilot projects such as the world's first electrified steam cracker furnaces3, which can reduce CO2 emissions by 90%.

[H2] Zhanjiang, China
BASF is currently building a new Verbund site in the Southern Chinese province of Guangdong, which will be the third-largest BASF site in the world when completed. By using the latest digital technologies and applying the highest safety standards, the site will become a model for smart manufacturing and sustainable production. BASF aims to power the entire site with 100% renewable electricity by the end of 2025 and has established several significant partnerships to secure its green power supply. These include a partnership with Mingyang to establish a joint venture to build an offshore wind farm off the coast of Zhanjiang, a partnership with the State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) for a 25-year power purchase agreement for renewable electricity and a partnership with China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. (GEDI) for cooperation in renewable energy and low-carbon development for the site.
[IMG: Antwerpen, im Norden von Belgien, ist der zweitgrößte Produktionsstandort der BASF. Der Verbundstandort steht in direkter Verbindung mit der Nordsee, dem Antwerpener Hafen und dem europäischen Hinterland. BASF Antwerpen ist ca. sechs Quadratkilometer groß und zählt 50 Produktionsanlagen, verteilt über 15 integrierte Wertschöpfungsketten.]
[H2] Antwerp, Belgium
The Verbund site in Antwerp is the largest chemical site in Belgium and BASF's second largest. It wants to convert its electricity consumption to green power and thus avoid one million tons of CO2 per year. The Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm in the North Sea near the Dutch coast, half of which is owned by BASF, will help us achieve this. Our goal: Antwerp is to be the first petrochemical site ever to achieve net zero emissions, also thanks to new, energy-efficient technologies. We are therefore part of an industrial CCS project (Carbon Capture and Storage) at the Antwerp site. With the Kairos@C project, in cooperation with Air Liquide, BASF can avoid the emission of up to 1 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year from production.
[H2] Freeport, USA
Freeport is one of two Verbund sites in North America and was founded as the first BASF manufacturing site outside of Europe. The Freeport site is on its way to become the first Verbund site in the region to meet its entire imported electricity demand with energy from renewable sources. This is supported through various power purchase agreements for solar energy, that are ramping up through the end of 2026. One example of this is the twelve-year power purchase agreement with the solar energy project developer X-ELIO for the supply of 48 megawatts of solar power per year for Freeport. This project alone will further reduce CO2 emissions at the Freeport site and avoid more than 82,000 tons of CO2 annually*, which is equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 17,800 cars.

[H2] Guaratinguetá, Brazil
The Guaratinguetá site in the São Paulo region of Brazil is committed to improve industrial waste management. The "Management of Waste and Recovery Cycle" (MAWERYC) program either avoids waste altogether or uses more sustainable technologies for different waste streams, thereby strengthening the circular economy. Since its introduction in 2020, the program has saved 3450 tons of CO2 and 2200 tons of waste per year. The site is also continuously improving its energy efficiency. The "Triple E Program", which stands for "Excellence in Energy Efficiency", has been running since 2015 and can save 9000 tons of CO2 at the site with its 115 approved initiatives. Due to its success, the program has already been implemented at approximately 65% of the sites in South America.
[H2] This is what we do to drive our transformation towards climate neutrality at other BASF sites around the world.
