Reduced product carbon footprint (rPCF)1 achieved through low emission feedstocks and utilities
Minimum 10 percent PCF reduction2 compared to the corresponding BASF standard product with unchanged product performance
Enables customers to lower emissions in their value chains without altering formulations or processes
BASF’s Intermediates division has introduced new product variants with a reduced product carbon footprint (rPCF) for butanediol (BDO), tetrahydrofuran (THF), polytetrahydrofuran (PolyTHF®), and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) produced at its Verbund site in Ludwigshafen, Germany. From this site, the products can be supplied to customers worldwide and help expand the division’s new rPCF product category, which is currently under development.
