Germany – BASF and Engie signed a 7-year Biomethane Purchase Agreement (BPA). Under the BPA, Engie will supply BASF with 2.7 to 3.0 terawatt hours of biomethane throughout the term of the agreement.
BASF uses certified biomethane at its Ludwigshafen/Germany and Antwerp/Belgium sites as a sustainable alternative to fossil raw materials in its manufacturing process.
Biomethane is a renewable gas produced through the fermentation of organic waste from households, agriculture, or industry. It significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil resources.
With the purchase agreement and usage of biomethane, BASF further expands its product portfolio by offering products with lower or zero Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) to its customers across industries like automotive, packaging and detergents.
