📦🚆 Many people know the BASF site in Ludwigshafen. But do you also know the Combined Transport Terminal that helps keep goods moving efficiently across Germany and Europe every day?

Serving as a link between rail and road, containers are transferred here within minutes, helping make transportation more efficient and sustainable.

What does sparkling water have to do with this chemical plant? Let’s find out!

In our CO₂-factory at the Ludwigshafen site, CO₂ from the ammonia plant is purified, liquefied, and made available for numerous applications.

The CO₂ is used within the BASF-Verbund, but it’s also sold directly to customers: as carbon dioxide for sparkling water, soft drinks, and beer, or as an industrial gas for a wide variety of applications.

By the way: CO₂ is a pretty cool product - literally! In the CO₂ plant, it’s liquefied at –25 degrees Celsius. by @basf_global

What do you think could be made from old cars? Share your idea in the comments, and we'll tell you ours.

A pilot with BASF, BEST Bioenergy, ETH Zurich and an automaker used gasification to turn automotive shredder residue and biomass into circular feedstock, which BASF then used to produce new steering wheels.

This helps reduce CO₂ emissions while keeping carbon in the loop, another step forward for sustainability in the automotive industry.

Today, we're heading into the prilling tower at our urea plant in Ludwigshafen. This is where urea prills are produced: tiny granules with a big impact.
Urea is an important chemical building block used worldwide in a wide range of applications, including fertilizers, AdBlue®, resins, adhesives, and cosmetics
By the way, urea production has a long history at BASF. Urea has been produced at our Ludwigshafen site for more than 100 years.
Which location should we explore next? Let us know in the comments! by @basf_global

15 years, seen from above. 💙

Our colleagues in Jacareí, Brazil, came together to mark 15 years of the site under the BASF name. From there, around 360 people help create solutions for customers in Brazil and across South America.

Celebrate this milestone with us and share your congratulations in the comments!

Do you know how diapers can keep everything dry all night? HySorb®, a superabsorbent, makes it possible. This inconspicuous powder can absorb 500 times its own weight in liquid. 💧 And in the future, used diapers can even become a raw material for new products. ♻️

Did you know how valuable helium has become?

We do. That's why BASF researchers have put a helium recovery unit into operation that captures, purifies, and reuses helium after it has been used, instead of letting this valuable resource go to waste. The result: less resource consumption, greater efficiency, and a process that is as clever as it is fascinating to watch.

Borkum Riffgrund 3 is now operational. Over the next 25 years, BASF will purchase electricity from the offshore wind farm operated by @orsted and nuveen in the German North Sea. This expands our sources of renewable electricity and further advances the transformation of our energy supply. by @basf_global
