BASF, Brookfield partner for a 25-year renewable electricity supply deal

It will power BASF’s Zhanjiang Verbund site in China.  

BASF and Brookfield have signed a 25-year fixed-price renewable electricity supply agreement to purchase solar and wind power for BASF’s Zhanjiang Verbund site in China.

“This agreement with Brookfield is another important step in securing renewable energy for BASF’s new Verbund site in Zhanjiang,” Haryono Lim, Senior Vice President, New Verbund Site China, BASF & General Manager, BASF Integrated Site (Guangdong) Co. Ltd, said.

“BASF is dedicated to building its Zhanjiang Verbund site into a role model of sustainable production, and aims to already achieve 100% renewable electricity supply for its Zhanjiang Verbund site by 2025.”

This also forms part of BASF’s climate neutrality target, which is also seen to contribute to China’s carbon reduction goal.

Under the agreement, Brookfield is expected to develop and build dedicated new solar and wind farms. It will also provide storage solutions to support the site’s renewable energy demands.

The BASF Zhanjiang Verbund site will be the company’s largest investment with €8 to €10b, upon completion. It is also the third-largest BASF site across the globe, after Ludwigshafen, Germany, and Antwerp, Belgium.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
