The biomass balance approach already permits renewable resources to be used at the start of chemical production.

What is much more important is that the total proportion of renewable sources in the system adds up and that it is mathematically correctly allocated to the certified commercial products. If demand increases, this proportion must be increased accordingly. T\u00dcV S\u00dcD continuously monitors whether BASF actually uses this share in renewable resources in the production Verbund and that it allocates it correctly to the certified products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basf.com\/en\/company\/sustainability\/environment\/resources-and-ecosystems\/renewable-raw-materials\/biomass-balance.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0\u00bb Further information on BASF\u2019s biomass balance approach<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Animated video on the biomass balance approach<\/h3>\n<div class=\"BorlabsCookie _brlbs-cb-youtube\">\n<div class=\"_brlbs-content-blocker\">\n<div class=\"_brlbs-embed _brlbs-video-youtube\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_brlbs-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-content\/plugins\/borlabs-cookie\/assets\/images\/cb-no-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"YouTube\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"_brlbs-caption\">\n<p>By loading the video, you agree to YouTube&#8217;s privacy policy.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy?hl=en&amp;gl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_brlbs-btn _brlbs-icon-play-white\" href=\"#\" data-borlabs-cookie-unblock role=\"button\">Load video<\/a><\/p>\n<p><label><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"unblockAll\" value=\"1\" checked> <small>Always unblock YouTube<\/small><\/label><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"borlabs-hide\" data-borlabs-cookie-type=\"content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-id=\"youtube\"><script type=\"text\/template\">PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iQmlvbWFzcy1iYWxhbmNlZCBwYWludHMgZm9yIGF1dG9tb3RpdmUgcmVmaW5pc2hpbmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjgxIiBzcmM9Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUtbm9jb29raWUuY29tL2VtYmVkL1B6U2NNVjZUdWVJP2ZlYXR1cmU9b2VtYmVkIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3c9ImFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXI7IGF1dG9wbGF5OyBjbGlwYm9hcmQtd3JpdGU7IGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYTsgZ3lyb3Njb3BlOyBwaWN0dXJlLWluLXBpY3R1cmU7IHdlYi1zaGFyZSIgcmVmZXJyZXJwb2xpY3k9InN0cmljdC1vcmlnaW4td2hlbi1jcm9zcy1vcmlnaW4iIGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbj48L2lmcmFtZT4=<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>About BASF\u2019s Coatings division<\/h3>\n<p>The Coatings division of BASF is a global expert in the development, production and marketing of innovative and sustainable automotive OEM and refinish coatings, as well as decorative paints.
