Recently, BASF released the “2023 BASF Climate Protection White Paper”, which comprehensively introduces BASF’s strategic layout and specific routes to achieve its 2050 net-zero carbon emissions goal.
This white paper will comprehensively showcase BASF’s innovative and sustainable solutions applied in various fields such as battery materials, transportation, construction, new energy, agriculture, and plastic recycling.
The 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has just concluded. This is an important opportunity for negotiation and change in the climate field. In terms of achieving its carbon emission reduction targets, BASF hopes to achieve
By 2020, reduce scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions by 25% compared with 2018, reduce scope 3.1 carbon emissions by 15% compared with 2022, and achieve 2050
Global net-zero CO2 emissions by 2020 (covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3.1).
The white paper points out that achieving the “double carbon” goal in China is a broad and profound economic and social systemic change, which requires the whole society and all walks of life to start from themselves, jointly explore and establish reasonable paths, and rush to China’s “double carbon” goal. The road to carbon neutrality. As the world’s leading chemical company, BASF has always closely integrated economic success with social responsibility and environmental protection, and has long been committed to climate protection. By leveraging its technological and innovative advantages, BASF empowers the green transformation of various industries and contributes to China’s “dual carbon” goals.
Dr. Jianfeng Lou, Chairman and President of BASF Greater China, said: “BASF has always adopted an open and inclusive attitude and has not hesitated to share its expertise, experience and practices in climate protection and carbon management with the entire industry to promote the development of various industrial chains. Win-win development. BASF has always believed that the chemical industry has a broad and far-reaching impact in combating climate change, and chemical innovation will become a key cornerstone of building a low-carbon future, assisting the green transformation and sustainable development of all walks of life.”
