BASF is investing a mid-double-digit million-euro amount in a new alcoholates plant at its site in Ludwigshafen, Germany. The plant will produce sodium methylate and potassium methylate, two important chemicals used for the production of biodiesel and for pharmaceutical and agricultural applications. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, the new plant will replace the existing production facility in Ludwigshafen and is expected to start up in the second half of 2027. Photo: BASF
