BASF inaugurates new plant for alkyl ethanolamines at its Antwerp Verbund site

BASF has inaugurated a new world-scale production plant for alkyl ethanolamines at its Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium. This new investment will increase the company’s global annual production capacity for alkyl ethanolamines, including dimethyl ethanolamine (DMEOA) and methyl diethanolamine (MDEOA), by nearly 30 percent to over 140,000 tons per year. The new plant is an important part of the BASF production network for this portfolio at the company’s sites in Ludwigshafen, Germany; Antwerp, Belgium; Geismar, Louisiana; and Nanjing, China.
The first results of BASF’s multi-year Global Carbon Field Trials revealed that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to mitigate agriculture’s contribution to climate change. Instead, reducing emissions requires a tailored combination of interventions, products, and technologies. The picture shows a BASF trial field for rice Piedmont, Italy.
