BASF offers biomass-balanced products for ammonia and urea portfolio
Published by Emily Thomas,

With its first biomass-balanced (BMB) ammonia and urea products, BASF now offers BMB options within its ammonia value chain. The range of products includes ammonia anhydrous BMBcertTM, ammonia solution 24.5% BMBcertTM, urea prills BMBcertTM, urea solution 40% BMBcertTM, and urea solution 45% BMBcertTM.
BASF applies a biomass balance approach to replace fossil resources at the beginning of the production process with certified biowaste raw materials which are attributed to the products. The mass balanced products are certified according to ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) PLUS standards. In addition, BASF is using electricity from renewable sources for the manufacturing of the ammonia and urea products, further reducing their production-related emissions.
These measures lower the product carbon footprint (PCF) of these products by at least 80% versus the average PCF of conventional fossil ammonia derivatives without compromising on quality and performance. The certified BMBcertTM products enable customers to reduce their scope 3 emissions as well as the product carbon footprint of their products.
