Energy efficiency is the most important single future source of energy to supply the growing energy demand and to protect the climate. Being energy efficient in industry, mobility and housing will offer the biggest potential to use energy more efficient. Just through energy efficiency and with existing technologies it�s possible to curb our predicted increasing global energy demand and thus the CO₂-emissions by the year 2030 significantly.

What can we do for climate protection?

We actively contribute to climate protection with multifold solution - and use our opportunities on future markets. We invest more than a third of our research expenditures - about €400 million per year - in energy efficiency, climate protection, conservation of resources and renewable raw materials. In addition to our commitment in these areas, we are also concerned with the consequences of climate change for our sites.

And our data show:
We can protect the climate with modern chemistry.
BASF products can save three times more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire amount caused by the production and disposal of the company's products.
We want to maintain or even improve this factor 3.
