BASF becomes first producer of renewable ammonia in Central Europe

1 minute read
Seit über 100 Jahren ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil des Produktionsverbundes: die Ammoniakanlagen. BASF betreibt Ammoniakanlagen mit einer Gesamtkapazität von über 1,7 Millionen Tonnen in Ludwigshafen, Antwerpen und gemeinsam mit YARA in Freeport, Texas. Ammoniak ist ein wesentlicher Ausgangsstoff für Polyamide, Isocyanate und Harnstoffharze.Ermöglicht wurde die Ammoniaksynthese erst im 20. Jahrhundert durch das Haber-Bosch-Verfahren. Fritz Haber und Carl Bosch wurden dafür mit dem Nobelpreis für Chemie ausgezeichnet.

With two new renewable ammonia grades – renewable ammonia and renewable ammonia solution 24.5% – BASF further expands its sustainable product portfolio. BASF produces the renewable ammonia grades at its Verbund site in Ludwigshafen by feeding hydrogen into the ammonia plant which reduces the plant’s natural gas consumption.

In BASF’s Verbund, hydrogen is produced from fossil as well as from renewable energy-derived sources. Via a mass balance approach, renewable energy-derived hydrogen is attributed to the renewable ammonia grades. They have been certified according to ISCC+ and can be used as ‘drop-in’ solution in the same reliable way as the conventional products. The renewable ammonia grades are available in usual bulk mode.
