What's New

With Ultramid^® LowPCF (reduced CO₂ footprint/“Product Carbon Footprint”, PCF**) and Ultramid^® ZeroPCF* (CO₂ footprint of net zero greenhouse gas emissions), BASF launches two new product variants within its polyamide value chain in Europe. Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced when compared to conventional products. BASF is offering its Ultramid^® B brand and the precursor caprolactam as ZeroPCF and LowPCF variants, as well as Ultramid^® C as LowPCF option.
 

Efficient electrolyzers are key in advancing the green hydrogen economy. For the development of larger, more efficient and durable electrolyzers, BASF offers a unique partnership to the energy sector: a tailored portfolio of polyarylethersulfones (PSU, PESU, PPSU) for components in water electrolyzers used for producing green hydrogen – combined with application know-how and reliable local technical support for part design. Backed by BASF’s deep understanding of complex injection-molding applications and membrane casting, BASF helps customers in upscaling electrolyzer technology, thus pushing the transformation to clean energy. BASF’s portfolio for electrolyzer parts includes Ultrason^® grades for frames, gaskets and separator membranes. This can be experienced first-hand at the BASF booth at Fakuma 2024, Germany where an electrolyzer frame sample will be exhibited.

BASF and its customer Evonik have agreed on the first delivery of BASF’s ammonia BMBcert^TM grade. Thereby, both chemical companies demonstrate their commitment to offer products with a reduced product carbon footprint (PCF). With its ammonia BMBcert, BASF delivers to Evonik a product whose PCF is at least 65 % lower than the standard product.

The transformation has only just begun – now it is time to embark at #ourplasticsjourney and make the lifecycle of plastics more sustainable. Latest developments will be shown at Fakuma from 15 to 19 October 2024 in Friedrichshafen, Germany: Hall B4, booth B4-4303.
