BASF has announced it now offers a range of chemical intermediates as LowPCF (low product carbon footprint).

Calculations of the latter were based on publicly available information and proprietary market survey data on the production routes and deployed raw materials of the third-party chemicals.
According to BASF, the products' low PCFs are due to its gas-fired combined heat and power plants generating significantly less greenhouse gas emissions, compared with other conventional energy generation, and the high production efficiency of BASF’s Verbund system in terms of energy and raw material consumption. The LowPCF range intermediates generally use oil, natural gas or Verbund by-products as primary raw materials, and not coal.
