BASF has inaugurated a new world-scale production plant for alkyl ethanolamines at its Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium. This new investment will increase the company’s global annual production capacity for alkyl ethanolamines, including dimethyl ethanolamine (DMEOA) and methyl diethanolamine (MDEOA), by nearly 30 percent to over 140,000 tons per year. The new plant is an important part of the BASF production network for this portfolio at the company’s sites in Ludwigshafen, Germany; Antwerp, Belgium; Geismar, Louisiana; and Nanjing, China.

Calgary, Alberta, June 20, 2024 — Enerflex Ltd. (Enerflex) and BASF have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly facilitate the commercial scale deployment of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) applications. The parties will combine Enerflex’s expertise in engineering, manufacturing, and integration of gas processing and compression systems with BASF’s proprietary OASE^® blue technology for flue gas and post-combustion CO₂ capture.

CSSC Power (Group) Corporation Limited (CPGC) will install its advanced Onboard Carbon Capture System (OCCS) on multiple liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers and utilize BASF’s OASE^® blue technology. To this end, both parties signed a Framework Agreement on the actual ship application of the OCCS at the 2024 Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Expo in Technologies, Products and Achievements (“Shanghai Carbon Neutrality Expo”, CNE).

Shanghai, China – CSSC Power (Group) Co., Ltd. (CPGC) and BASF have formed a solid cooperation to expedite the progress of onboard carbon capture (CO₂ capture) system for commercial maritime applications. CPGC has always been committed to providing green, low carbon solutions for the shipping industry. 

Ludwigshafen, Germany –May 23, 2023 – A CO₂ capture process, jointly developed by Linde, Heidelberg Materials, and BASF, and based on BASF’s advanced OASE^® blue technology, will be used for the first time at a large-scale CO₂-capture facility operated by Capture-to-Use (CAP2U) – a new joint venture established by Heidelberg Materials and Linde. The plant will be the world’s first industrial-scale carbon capture and utilization (CCU) facility. Around 70,000 tons per year of CO₂ will be captured, purified and liquefied. Linde will sell the majority of the resulting liquid CO₂ as a feedstock for the chemicals industry and into the food and beverage end-use markets.
