Chemical giant BASF has initiated the production of green ammonia at its Verbund site in Ludwigshafen. The company has introduced two new grades of ammonia - renewable ammonia and renewable ammonia solution 24.5%. By introducing hydrogen into the ammonia production process, BASF aims to decrease natural gas consumption. The renewable energy-derived hydrogen used has received certification according to the global standard ISCC+, enabling its use as a direct substitute for traditional products. These renewable ammonia grades are available in bulk mode for customers. Dr. Jens Aßmann, Vice-President at BASF, emphasized the company's commitment to achieving Net Zero for its products through the production of renewable ammonia that can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of existing low-CO2 ammonia grades. The market demand for low-carbon or green ammonia is anticipated to grow, prompting BASF to cater to these needs both for its customers and internal downstream businesses. BASF's expansion of its ammonia portfolio is part of its broader strategy in the Monomers division to offer circular or low-carbon alternatives for all major product lines by 2025.
