BASFのバイオマスバランス・アプローチ

BASFは化学産業で再生可能原料を使用するための新しい手法として、バイオマスバランス・アプローチを開発しました。この手法により、生産フェアブント(統合生産)において、化石資源由来の原料を再生可能原料に置き換えることができます。再生可能原料投入量とバイオマスバランス製品出荷量は厳密に管理され、独立機関によって認証されます。

バイオマスバランス・アプローチの仕組み

In the biomass balance approach, renewable resources such as bio-naphtha or biogas derived from organic waste or vegetable oils are used as feedstock in the very first steps of chemical production. The bio-based feedstock amount is then allocated to specific products sold by means of the certified method.

BASF has established a closed chain of custody from the renewable feedstock it uses through to the final product. An independent certification confirms that BASF has replaced the required quantities of fossil resources for the biomass balanced product with renewable feedstock. BASF has transferred the certification of all its biomass balanced products to the new European REDcert2 scheme for the chemical industry in 2019.
