29 Mar 2021 --- BASF plans to invest up to €4 billion (US$4.7 billion) by 2030 to cut CO2 emissions in half in its current business by the end of this decade.The investment in low-emission and CO2-free technologies comes in response to the urgency of climate change, which BASF calls “the greatest challenge of the 21st century.”“The pilot plants for most of the new technologies will be located in Ludwigshafen. For the scaling up after 2030 it will be a question of the conditions and the framework,” a spokesperson at BASF tells NutritionInsight.
