BASF uses five strategic levers which include increasing importance of renewable energy as a main driver of emission reduction, as well as CO2\u2013free steam generation, new technologies for production of base petrochemicals, new entry points for bio-based feedstocks in value chains, and the reduction of CO2 emissions through various operational excellence measures.<\/p>\n
The corporate\u2019s new Zhanjiang Integrated Verbund site \u2013 to be completed by 2030 with up to \u20ac10 billion investments \u2013 is a good example how the use of latest technologies reduces CO2 footprint compared with standard gas-powered petrochemical sites. At the same time, this creates new business opportunities with low carbon products<\/strong> and enables customers to decarbonize their value chains.<\/p>\n<\/div>The keynote speech was followed by a lively discussion round that made clear that companies from different industries are facing similar challenges to achieve decarbonization goals and green transformation across entire value chains.<\/p>\n
It is important to stay ahead of the decarbonization curve and be transparent about the journey and we are happy to provide a platform for exchange of best practices from businesses for businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
