BASF launches two renewable ammonia grades

BASF has expanded its sustainable product portfolio by launching two new renewable ammonia grades; renewable ammonia and renewable 24.5% ammonia solution. BASF produces the renewable ammonia grades at its Verbund site in Ludwigshafen by feeding renewable hydrogen into the ammonia plant, reducing the plant’s natural gas consumption. The plant uses both gas-based hydrogen as well as renewable energy, and attributes the renewable component via a mass balance approach, allowing a proportion of production to be designated as renewable. The two product grades have been certified according to ISCC+ and can be used as ‘drop-in’ solution in the same way as the conventional products. The renewable ammonia grades are available in usual bulk mode.

“Our biggest goal is net zero of our products. With our renewable ammonia, we can significantly undercut the product carbon footprint of our other low-CO2 ammonia grades”, said Dr.
