Between 1990 and 2018, BASF cut its CO2 emissions by half while its production volumes doubled. This was accomplished by many efficiency-boosting measures as well as the use of catalysts to reduce nitrous oxide emissions. We want to utilize any remaining potential.
In particular by increasing energy and process efficiency in production and energy generation, BASF was able to halve its CO2 emissions between 1990 and 2018, while production volume doubled. We want to exploit the remaining potential.
