産業界

Climate protection is a central component of the BASF strategy. For many years, the company has been continuously reducing its CO2 emissions. For further significant reduction innovative processes, such as the synthesis gas direct conversion for the synthesis of olefins, our research is developing. Olefins are intermediate substances, for the production of cleaning materials, aroma chemicals or superabsorbents. New process technologies and catalysts can reduce the carbon footprint of olefin production by up to 50 percent. Lab Team Leader Sabine Schuster and chemical laboratory technician Oliver Secosan are changing the catalysts in the new synthesis gas direct conversion plant.
私たちは、経験豊富で革新的な専門家として、様々な産業のパートナーとの関係性を大切にしています。共通の課題解決に向けて、共に手を取り合いましょう。
