With an area of approximately ten square kilometers the Ludwigshafen Verbund site is the world’s largest integrated chemical complex. As the headquarters of BASF, it is also the cradle of the Verbund concept, where production facilities, energy flows and logistics are networked together intelligently. This integration allows to generate efficient value chains – from basic chemicals to high value-added solutions. The Verbund enables us to manage our production in a resource-efficient, carbon-optimized and reliable way. By-products from one facility are used as feedstocks elsewhere, for example. This saves raw materials and energy, avoids emissions, lowers logistics costs and leverages synergies.
The backbone of the Ludwigshafen production Verbund is a dense network of around 200 production plants that are connected to one another by over 2,850 kilometers of pipelines and more than 230 kilometers of rail track. At BASF’s Ludwigshafen site, some 8,000 sales products are produced with a total volume of around 6.1 million metric tons per year from just a few raw materials, such as naphtha, rock salt and sulfur. The site also serves as a technology platform and the central hub for our research expertise.
An effective logistical infrastructure complements the Verbund. Keystones are the intermodal transport terminal, a modern logistics center, harbor facilities and connection by block trains to Antwerp, Rotterdam, Eastern Germany and the Mediterranean Sea.
We offer you a development and complex materials co operation: with the companies which have already settled in Ludwigshafen or with other companies of other Chemical Parks in the region.
