Sustainable Solutions for Chemical Intermediates

Our vision: being the preferred partner for sustainable intermediates for our customers. 

With a focus on CO2 management, recycled and renewable carbon, we offer products which support our customers in achieving their sustainability goals. With solutions and certified concepts such as our product carbon footprint (PCF) calculation system and the biomass balance approach, we help reduce product carbon footprints without compromising on quality or performance.

Our portfolio includes different sustainable product variants – from standard products with a verified PCF following the  Together for Sustainability PCF guidelines, over products with a reduced PCF or a PCF of zero, to biomass balanced and recycled products – all designed to meet the diverse sustainability needs of our customers. 

We offer a wide range of products with a clear sustainability claim at scale​

CO2 Management
Demand for products that either have a beneficial product carbon footprint or reduce CO2 emissions in their application
Renewable Carbon
Demand for products with biobased or biocircular feedstocks
Recycled Carbon
Demand for products with recycled feedstocks

CO2 Management

Standard Products

Efficient by design: Our standard products benefit from BASF’s unique Verbund setup, choice of feedstock and continuous process optimization for a competitive cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint. One example is our amines portfolio produced with 100 percent renewable electricity. Some standard products even come with a LowPCF claim.

Reduced Product Carbon Footprint (rPCF) Products

Taking the next step: rPCF products come with a PCF reduction of minimum 10% compared to the BASF standard product in the producing region, achieved through the use of low emission feedstocks and low emission utilities.

Zero Product Carbon Footprint (ZeroPCF) Products

Zero emissions, full impact: We achieve a cradle-to-gate PCF of zero by attributing renewable feedstock through our certified biomass balance approach and, in some cases, attributing renewable electricity – all while maintaining identical quality and performance.
