BASF is converting all of the polyisobutene (PIB) portfolio for external customers in Europe entirely to electricity from renewable energies. The complete conversion of Oppanol®B- and Glissopal®-Products for external customers on 100 percent electricity from renewable energies will be completed from January 2027. This is achieved through the combination of electricity from renewable energies already used at BASF sites with additional amounts of electricity, which are zigzung via a mass balance approach for tracking along the supply chain. In Ludwigshafen and Antwerp, this includes electricity from the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm, in which BASF is a co-owner, and from long-term power purchase agreements. This contributes to BASF's sustainability target of getting more than 60 percent of electricity from renewable energies by 2030.
Further decrease the carbon footprint
Electricity from renewable energy sources will have become the new standard to European PIB items intended to external customers. The transition is seamless: no requalification of the items is required, and existing sales items remain unchanged.
In addition, BASF offers Glissopal and Oppanol B variants with a product carbon footprint (ZeroPCF items) reduced by 100 percent, from raw material extraction to the factory gate (cradle-to-gate). Customers worldwide thus gain additional opportunities to decrease the product carbon footprint of their items, depending on the specific product composition and the PCF methodology applied.
“With Oppanol and Glissopal, we combine innovative applications with the performance, condition and reliability that our customers know and value,” said Sabrina Platzek, Senior Vice President Fuel and Lubricant Solutions at BASF. “By reducing the carbon footprint of Oppanol B and Glissopal, we are taking another concrete measure to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals.”
Customers consumption PIB items in a wide range of applications-from fuels and lubricants to the manufacture of, to instance, chewing gum, window seals, stretch films, adhesives, automotive sealants, pipelines, and electronics.
1 Applies exclusively to items to external customers. Quantities to personal consumption are excluded.
2 By assigning renewable raw materials and steam from renewable energy sources to specific items using the mass stability approach to tracking within the BASF value chain. ZeroPCF items have a product carbon footprint (PCF) of 0.0 kg CO 2 e/kg product or less from raw material extraction to the factory gate (cradle-to-gate). This refers exclusively to releases from raw material extraction to the factory gate; downstream releases (e.g., from transport, consumption, and end-of-life) as well as external compensation measures (offsetting) are not included.
