Verbund
Efficient use of resourcesVALUE FOR BASF
€200
million in annual savings from the Energy Verbund Ludwigshafen
In the BASF Verbund, production facilities, energy flow, logistics and infrastructure are intelligently networked with each other, in order to increase production yields, save resources and energy and reduce logistic costs. A significant factor in the Verbund concept is the Know-how Verbund, which encourages the exchange of knowledge among BASF employees worldwide. The expert knowledge is pooled in research platforms. Customers inspire and drive new developments, innovations and measures to improve efficiency. The Know-how Verbund shapes the future.
VALUE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
1.5
million metric tons of CO2 annual savings from the Energy Verbund Ludwigshafen
As part of the Verbund system, the Energy Verbund reduces emissions of CO2. Crude oil and natural gas are not only used as raw materials, but also as energy sources. Heat from production processes is not discharged to the environment; but rather captured in BASF steam networks and used to power other production plants.
