The modernization of production plants for adipic acid and nitric acid offers enormous potential for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. At our Ludwigshafen site, we have been reducing emissions of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) from adipic acid production using a specially developed catalyst since 1997. This catalyst converts N2O into nitrogen and oxygen - substances that do not damage the atmosphere.
In 2006, we won a contract to supply N2O reduction technology to PetroChina Company Limited for its adipic acid plant in Liaoyang, China. To promote our clean development mechanisms in China, BASF organized a workshop in Beijing together with partners.
