1 Renewables-based Chemicals From raw material opportunities to increased performance Markus Piepenbrink, Global New Business Development, Chemical Intermediates

2 BASF BASF We create chemistry Our chemistry is used in almost all industries We combine economic success, social responsibility and environmental protection Sales 2014: 74.3 billion EBIT 2014: 7.6 billion >112,000 employees 6 Verbund sites and 353 other production sites 2

3 Strategy Chemistry-based innovations Growth fields and Technology fields Global needs Customer industries Growth fields Technology fields Automotive Lightweight Composites Resources, Environment and Climate Transportation Agriculture Batteries for Mobility Enzymes Materials, Systems & Nanotechnology E-Power Management Food and Nutrition Construction Energy & Resources Functional Crop Care Heat Management for Construction Raw Material Change Organic Electronics Quality of Life Consumer Goods Electronics Plant Biotechnology Water Solutions White Biotechnology Health & Nutrition Wind Energy... 3

4 Strategy Growth field Enzymes Enzymes from BASF enable innovative product and system solutions for various customer industries. Existing activities Enzymes for animal nutrition (phytase, glucanase, xylanase) Establishing an enzyme platform based on several acquisitions Targets Position BASF as an integrated enzyme supplier in strategically important markets (animal nutrition, detergents and cleaning agents, food and baking industry) Access new markets, e.g. in oilfield chemicals 4

5 Strategy Technology field Raw Material Change We work on sustainable processes for using alternative raw materials such as natural gas, biomass and CO 2. Research focus Exploration of natural gas, biomass and CO 2 as basis for raw materials Integration of competencies: synthesis, catalysis, process development and unit operations, high-throughput methods Examples of existing activities Natural gas: Olefins from natural gas by using catalyst technologies Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ): Synthesis of formic acid and acrylates Biomass: Lignocellulose as a raw material 5

6 Strategy Innovation Global Know-How Verbund Thanks to our close cooperation with more than 600 partners in science and industries worldwide, we have created an international and interdisciplinary Know-How Verbund. Expenditures for R&D ca. 1.9 billion world leader in chemical industry Around 10,500 employees worldwide in R&D Around 3,000 research projects Sales target 2020: 30 billion from product innovations Universities Innovation Management High-tech Joint ventures Technology fields: Materials, Systems & Nanotechnology; Raw Material Change; Industrial Biotechnology Bioscience Research Customers Advanced Materials & Systems Research Process Research & Chemical Engineering Operating divisions Research institutions BASF New Business Partners in industry 6

7 Strategy 3 Pathways to a Renewables-based Product Portfolio Renewable Raw Materials Existing Products Oleochemicals Enzymes Vitamins... Drop-Ins 1,4 Butanediol Succinic acid Acrylic acid... New Products Schizophyllan FDCA Pentamethylen diamine... 7

8 Existing Products Existing Products: Oleochemicals BASF as integrated chemical producer Glycerol Esterification Alkoxylation Partial Gycerides Polyether Polyols Esterification Fatty Acid Esters Fatty Acids Alkyl Epoxy Esters Ethoxylation Fatty Acid Ethoxylates Guerbet Alcohols Alkyl Polyglycosides Oil from natural resources Fatty Acid Methyl Esters Fatty Alcohols Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates Fatty Alcohol Sulfates Fatty Alcohol Ether Sulfates Fatty Acid Acylamido Betaines Fatty Acid Alkanolamides Epoxidized Vegetable Oils Ethoxylated Trigycerides Hardened Triglycerides, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, HCO Fat Liquors/Turkey Red Oil 8

9 Existing Products Complementary Approach: Mass Balance for our Portfolio Feedstock BASF Production Verbund Products Fossil Conventional Renewable Independently certified Allocated Use of renewable feedstock in very first steps of chemical production (e.g., steam cracker) Utilization of existing Production Verbund for all production steps Allocation of renewable feedstock to selected products 9

10 Drop-ins Drop-ins: Renewable BDO from biomass to biobased textiles Biomass 1) Sugar conversion 2) Fermenter Renewable BDO, 100% biobased Intermediate Biobased textile fibers Development scale Campaigned production by external tollers; several kt produced Material available for business development Produce additional downstream products (renewable PolyTHF ) Commercial scale Invest and set-up a fully integrated production plant for 50 kt annual capacity Production of renewable BDO and derivatives Full commercial scale planned in 3-5 years. 10

11 BASF Plant 1 BASF Plant 2 BASF Plant 3 BASF Plant 4 Cash costs Drop-ins Marginal Producer Logic Example BDO Pricing 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) global cash cost curve average cash costs 2013 Commodity Business Supply/demand balance: red line New entries shift the curve Size matters, capacity? Production capacity The marginal producer sets the price 11

12 Drop-ins Succinic Acid as versatile Platform Chemical broad applications Succinity GmbH Joint Venture of BASF and Corbion Purac Production and sale of biobased succinic acid (Succinity ) as platform chemical Broad applications in bioplastics, solvents, intermediates, polyurethanes, plasticizers Competitive process based on renewable resources and high performing proprietary micro-organism, capturing CO 2 Economically and ecologically attractive alternative to petrochemical raw materials Production in Montmeló, Spain Basfia succiniproducens 12

13 New Products FDCA as New Monomer for Polyesters Dehydration Oxidation Polymerization Sugar 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) Furan dicarboxylic acid FDCA Bisaminomethylfuran, BAMF Bishydroxymethylfuran, BHMF PEF Products Properties: mp: 221 C (PET 253 C. PEN 271 C) T g : 87 C (PET 80 C, PEN 123 C) Barrier: O 2 : > 6* PET CO 2 : > 2* PET H 2 O: > 2*PET Superior material properties are driver for PEF 13

14 Strategy BASF is open to any kind of Partnerships Algae based, Oleochemicals Terpene derivatives strain optimization f. bio-plastics /chemicals nd gen. sugars feed enzyme Detergent enzymes Schizophyllan / EOR 50/50 JV 1,4-Butanediol investment cooperation acquisition Succinic acid Broad range of activities across multiple divisions 14

15 Summary Renewables-based BASF BASF is active in a range of products made from renewable raw materials and develops opportunities for drop-ins new products Success of Drop-ins is dependent on: Technology + Market + Strategy Success factors for New products are: Performance, Competition, Stamina Strong partnerships are key to establish new value chains 15
