BASF catalyst creates a new way of chemical energy storage

The 195 Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have signed and adopted the Paris Agreement, the main objective of which is to control the increase of global average temperature within 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level, preferably within 1.5 degrees Celsius. Climate protection is the core component of BASF's new business strategy. The central goal of the strategy is to keep the total carbon dioxide emissions unchanged by 2030. To this end, BASF has integrated all these efforts into its ambitious carbon management plan, aiming at achieving harmonious growth in climate protection and performance development. As a global leading catalyst company and a pioneer in methanol synthesis technology, BASF has always been at the forefront of science and technology, while working with partners including engineering companies and equipment manufacturers to provide cutting-edge catalytic solutions for current and next generation sustainable development of process technology. Methanol is one of the most important basic chemicals and has a wide range of industrial applications. Methanol can be used as raw material for the production of chemicals such as acetic acid. The synthesis of methanol using carbon dioxide and hydrogen catalysts is also a hot topic in the field of scientific research and commerce.

The new energy storage technology developed by BASF partner BSE Engineering Company can convert excess power in the power grid into methanol economically and efficiently through small mobile devices and carbon dioxide. For example, some small power plants that use renewable energy and large industrial power plants that generate large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions, the excess electricity can sustainably generate hydrogen through electrolyzed water. The next step is to synthesize methanol with carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Basf catalyst will be used in methanol synthesis. These catalysts have been specially adjusted for this special process to ensure high efficiency of methanol production. Based on its unique expertise in catalyst field, BASF promotes the change of innovative solutions for the benefit of society, and enables our customers and partners to achieve sustainable economic success.
