About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
BASF is pilot testing methane pyrolysis technology at its Ludwigshafen site in Germany to produce low-emission hydrogen and solid carbon for use in chemical production, such as ammonia and methanol. The test facility, operational since 2021, is evaluating process parameters and carbon applications, with plans for scaling up to industrial levels by 2030. This innovation supports BASF's goals of reducing CO2 emissions by 25% by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050.
Statuses, countries and reductions are as the public source states them, and may be out of date.
