BASF builds the world's first Power-to-Heat plant with integrated heat pump
Pilot plant uses green electricity to generate process heat
BASF, the world's leading chemical company, is building the world's first Power-to-Heat plant with integrated heat pump. The plant will use green electricity to generate process heat for the production of chemicals. The pilot plant is expected to be completed in 2023 and will be located at BASF's Ludwigshafen site in Germany.
The Power-to-Heat plant will use a heat pump to convert green electricity into heat. The heat will then be used to heat up a thermal oil, which will be used to generate process heat for the production of chemicals. The plant will have a capacity of 1 MW and will be able to generate up to 10,000 tons of CO2 savings per year.
The Power-to-Heat plant is part of BASF's efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. The company has set a target of reducing its emissions by 25% by 2030 and by 50% by 2050. The plant is expected to make a significant contribution to achieving these goals.
The Power-to-Heat plant is a key milestone in the development of new technologies for the production of chemicals. The plant is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of a more sustainable chemical industry.
Benefits of the Power-to-Heat plant
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Increased energy efficiency
- Reduced operating costs
- Increased reliability of energy supply
- Contribution to the development of a more sustainable chemical industry
Conclusion
BASF's Power-to-Heat plant is a significant step forward in the development of new technologies for the production of chemicals. The plant is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of a more sustainable chemical industry.
