BASF Renewable Energy

We had a wonderful evening at our recent barbecue event, bringing the entire BASF Renewable Energy team and further BASF colleagues together in Ludwigshafen! 🌞🤝 The atmosphere was perfect for team bonding, networking, informal conversations and re-capping on project milestones! 👏🧍♀️🧍🏽♂️ A huge thank you to everyone who showed up and made this event so special. It's moments like these that strengthen our team and provide enough #energy for future projects. 🎉🙌 #TeamSpirit #Renewables #Networking

At #BASF, we are taking the supply of renewable power for our chemical sites seriously and are launching global projects. Take a look! 🌍 Our teams are constantly striving to make our chemical production sites more sustainable – and this worldwide! 🎯 To achieve this, we count on our global renewable energy projects. They ensure that our production sites are powered by as much renewable power as possible. ⚡ Swipe to see our selected projects. ➡️📸 #BASF #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Global

🚨 News Alert! 🚨 BASF and AMG Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH have entered into an innovative renewable energy agreement. 🌿⚡ This means that: 🌱 BASF Renewable Energy will supply renewable energy certificates (“Guarantees of Origin”) to Graphit Kropfmühl’s production site in Hauzenberg, Germany. ✅ The Guarantees of Origin certify that a given amount of power comes from a particular renewable power plant, providing tangible proof of the usage and source of renewable power. ♻️ Graphit Kropfmühl´s product “graphite” will then be used by BASF as raw material for the production of Neopor®, reducing the carbon footprint along the value chain. A big thanks to the involved teams and to AMG Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH for deepening our collaboration. This innovative concept brings us closer to our #NetZero goal! 🌍 Credits for Picture 2: Graphit Kropfmühl #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #Innovation

First turbine installed in Germany’s currently largest wind farm "Borkum Riffgrund 3" - renewable power for BASF! 🎉 We are pleased to announce that the first turbine has been installed at Germany’s currently largest offshore wind farm project “Borkum Riffgrund 3”, which will also supply BASF with renewable power. 👩🔬 “Borkum Riffgrund 3” will have an installed capacity of 913 megawatts (MW) and a total of 83 wind turbines. The offshore wind farm is scheduled to go into full commercial operations in 2025. 🍃 “Borkum Riffgrund 3“ is the first offshore wind project worldwide to be awarded without subsidies. The realization of the wind farm is primarily made possible via long-term power purchase agreements (#PPAs). 📜 BASF Renewable Energy’s power share of of 186 MW from "Borkum Riffgrund 3" will be used for our chemical production sites in Europe and to power innovative technologies such as our #electrolysis plant at our Headquarters in #Ludwigshafen. 🇪🇺 #Kudos to the project team and our partner Ørsted for this great achievement! We are grateful for the positive collaboration and our joint vision towards #NetZero. 🙏 #OffshoreWind #PPA #Milestones

🌬️ Exciting news! BASF Renewable Energy and Vattenfall have signed turbine supply and service contracts with Vestas! 🌊 ✍️ The contracts include the purchase of 112 wind turbines, which are – with 15 MW – the most powerful offshore turbines currently available on the market! They are destined for the Nordlicht 1&2 offshore wind projects in the German North Sea and will: 👣 significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the towers due to the use of low-emission steel. ⚡️ Provide large amounts of renewable power to BASF’s production sites in Europe. 🚀 be operational by 2028 (according to current project planning). The signature of this agreement shows a clear commitment towards the European wind power supply chain and is the next large step in meeting our sustainability goals. With BASF holding a 49% stake in the Nordlicht projects, we're proud to contribute to one of Germany’s largest offshore wind farm project to date. Together with our partners, we're making big steps towards a greener, more sustainable future. 💚⚡️ Big thanks to our BASF Renewable Energy team and the colleagues from Vattenfall and Vestas for this great cooperation! 🙌 Photo Credits: Picture 1 & 2: Vestas Wind Systems A/S #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #WindPower #Collaboration #CleanEnergy #Nordlicht #Vattenfall #Vestas

Full Energy at the BASF FIRMENCUP! 💪🏃♂️🏃♀️ What a day on the legendary Grand Prix circuit at Hockenheimring! 🏎️🎉 At the 20th anniversary of the BASF Firmencup, our great team from the BASF Net Zero Accelerator (#CS) and BASF Renewable Energy put all their energy into the 5.2km long race and have shown that they excel not only in #NetZero topics, but also on the race course! 🌱🏁 We were thrilled to see so many of our enthusiastic colleagues joining the race, representing the spirit of sustainability. 🌍💚 To many more years of running towards a renewable and circular future! 🏃♂️🌿 #BASFFirmencup #NetZeroAccelerator #Sustainability #BASFRenewableEnergy Jan Gagelmans, Sabine Gregori, Olesya Kister, Bodo Müller, Jasmin Berberich, Daniel Brauer, Malte Brockmann, Mario da Silva Junior, Markus Dimmler, Horatio Evers 何瑞修, Josefine Gaberdiel, Valeria Lauer, Stefanie Lechler, LL.M., Christian Mühlinghaus, Leon Neuber, Özge Özüer, PMP®, MSc., Philipp Pfefferle, Alice Venturini, Michael Prinz, Kai Espenschied, Waldemar Hoffmann, Stefan Hannemann, Johannes Haus, Martin Unmuessig, Julia Katharina Schreiber (Russ), and more.

Spotlight on: North Sea Offshore Wind! 🌊💡 Last week’s “North Sea Offshore Summit” in Berlin was a great platform to engage with our partner companies and participate in discussions on regulatory frameworks. 📅🤝 But: What does BASF as a chemical company do at the “North Sea Offshore Summit”? 🏭❓ Here’s the answer: BASF has the target to become #NetZero in 2050. The underlying strategy to electrify chemical processes will boost power consumption. Power from offshore wind parks plays a crucial role and BASF has already invested in several offshore wind farms in the North Sea. 🌍🌬️ And what were the takeaways from the summit? 📝 🔌 Focus on power grids - accelerated grid buildout and a mechanism that keeps grid fees at a competitive level are essential for a successful transformation.  💡 Include power consumers – they are the ones that ultimately pay the power price. Therefore, it is essential to include them in all discussions around policy framework. 🤝 Foster cross-border collaboration: The transition towards renewables can only work within a strong and interconnected European power market. Close international collaboration on company and regulatory level are key for success. Thanks a lot to the Chambers of Commerce from the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway for the successful organization. Big shout out to Michael Kern, Andreas Wenzel, and Günter Gülker as well as the BASF team around Lucie Fallesen, Robert Stiller and Philipp Pfefferle for their contributions. 👏 #Renewables #OffshoreWind #NorthSea #BASFRenewableEnergy

Reaching renewable milestones at BASF! 💪 As a result of the ongoing efforts of our teams at BASF and BASF Renewable Energy, we have started an extraordinary transformation several years ago - from conventional to renewable power sources.⚡ As an energy-intensive company, BASF's power demand is high and will even be rising in the upcoming years – due to the electrification of our chemical processes. 🔌 In 2023, our global share of renewable power has already reached 20%. By continuing our efforts, we are expecting to source over 60% of our power demand from renewables by 2030! 🎯 For the future success of the energy transformation, we are advocating for favorable framework conditions that include affordable grid fees, a stable bidding zone setup as well as a connected and predictable “GO” system in Europe. 📜 ➡ Follow us on LinkedIn to stay updated on our renewable energy journey. 📱 #RenewableEnergy #BASF #EnergyTransformation #Milestone
