    News release Herrn Peter Karl Wettstein BASF SE WLL/SD D 211 - Raum 205 RWE, BASF and Linde: Breakthrough in capturing carbon from flue gas of coal-fired power plants New technology saves 20 percent on energy input and clearly reduces solvent consumption Key to climate-compatible coal-based power generation Essen/Cologne/Ludwigshafen, 03. September 2010 Since 2009 RWE, Linde and BASF have been testing a new technology for separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas in a pilot plant at RWE’s Niederaussem power station near Cologne. The results of the practical test are now available: Compared to processes commonly run today, the innovative technology that captures CO2 by means of new chemical solvents can reduce energy input by about 20 percent. The new solvents also feature clearly superior oxygen stability, which reduces solvent consumption significantly. “We are pleased with this breakthrough, which we have achieved by cooperating closely with BASF and Linde. By enhancing efficiency and accordingly reducing costs, we have created a critical success factor for carbon capture technology, which in our view is key to climate- compatible power generation from coal,” underlines Dr. Johannes Heithoff, Vice President, Research and Development, RWE Power. “The practical tests met all of the expectations we had after lab-testing the new solvent. This paves the way for scaling up the process to large power plants,” says Dr. Andreas Northemann, Business Manager, Global Gas Treatment, BASF Intermediates division. “We are very satisfied with the results of the practical tests, too,” says Dr. Aldo Belloni, Member of the Executive Board of Linde AG.

    Joint News Release May 21, 2021 BASF and RWE plan to cooperate on new technologies for climate protection ◼ Green electricity and innovative production technologies could make the Ludwigshafen chemical site a lighthouse for climate protection in the chemical industry ◼ Additional offshore wind farm with a capacity of 2 GW would provide BASF with green electricity for CO2-free production processes from 2030 ◼ Letter of intent focuses on climate-neutral chemical industry and CO2-free hydrogen Today in Ludwigshafen, Germany, Dr. Martin Brudermüller (BASF) and Dr. Markus Krebber (RWE), accompanied by Chairman of the Mining, Chemical and Energy Industries Union (IG BCE) Michael Vassiliadis, presented a project idea that shows how industrial production can become sustainable and future-proof. The project envisions an additional offshore wind farm with a capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW) to provide the Ludwigshafen chemical site with green electricity and enable CO2-free production of hydrogen. The aim is to electrify the production processes for basic chemicals, which are currently based on fossil fuels. This will involve utilizing CO2-free technologies such as electrically heated steam cracker furnaces to produce petrochemicals. BASF is already working with partners on developing these technologies. To advance the joint project, the CEOs of BASF and RWE have signed a letter of intent covering a wide-ranging cooperation for the creation of additional capacities for renewable electricity and the use of innovative technologies for climate protection. “Together we want to accelerate the transition to a CO2-neutral chemical industry through electrification and through the use of CO2-free hydrogen,” said Brudermüller and Krebber.
