1 Developing a New Value Chain for Renewables-based Chemicals Dr. Cordula Mock-Knoblauch, Global New Business Development Chemical Intermediates San Diego, April 2016

2 BASF We create chemistry Our chemistry is used in almost all industries We combine economic success, social responsibility and environmental protection Sales 2015: 70,449 million EBIT 2015: 6,248 million Employees (as of December 31, 2015): 112,435 6 Verbund sites and 338 other production sites 2

3 BASF s segments Chemicals Performance Products Functional Materials & Materials & Solutions Solutions Agricultural Solutions Oil & Gas Petrochemicals Monomers Intermediates Dispersions & Pigments Care Chemicals Nutrition & Health Performance Chemicals Catalysts Construction Chemicals Coatings Performance Materials Crop Protection Oil & Gas 3

4 BASF worldwide: sites Freeport Antwerp Ludwigshafen Florham Park Geismar Kuantan Singapore Nanjing Hong Kong Regional centers Selected sites São Paulo Verbund sites Selected research and development sites 4

5 The Verbund Production Verbund Energy flows and infrastructure are intelligently integrated Production plants are integrated along value-adding chains Technology Know-how Verbund Company unit for technology and innovative excellence in production The Verbund concept increases resource efficiency and saves energy minimizes emissions avoids long transport routes increases safety => More cost-effective, safer and environmentally friendly production 5

6 Verbund site Antwerp Employees BASF Antwerpen NV 2,949* Site area 6 km² Sales products ~ 6.6 million metric tons p.a. Road ~ 150 km Rail 44 km Site traffic ~ 500 trucks daily Shipment ~ 54,000 containers p.a. Pipeline system 580 km Production facilities 15 production facilities with around 40 production plants * As of December 31,

7 Our purpose We create chemistry for a sustainable future This means that we contribute to a world that provides a viable future with enhanced quality of life for everyone. We do so by creating chemistry for our customers and society and by making the best use of available resources. We live our corporate purpose by: Sourcing and producing responsibly, Acting as a fair and reliable partner, Connecting creative minds to find the best solutions for market needs. For us, this is what successful business is all about. 7

8 Why renewables-based products? 1 Sustainability becomes a common future goal 3 Market need for diversification of raw materials base + Ressource Savings Climate Protection 2 Brand-owners addressing consumer demands 4 Enabling molecules not accessible via fossil routes X 8

9 BASF production along value chains Refinery Steam cracker/ Syngas plant BASF Production Verbund Chemical production Crude oil/ natural gas Naphtha/ natural gas Basic organic chemicals Intermediates Performance Products Biomass Bio-based raw materials (e.g. sugars) Bio-based platform chemicals Functional Materials & Solutions Agricultural Solutions 9

10 Biomass balanced approach versus dedicated bio-based production Refinery Steam cracker/syngas plant BASF Production Verbund Chemical production Crude oil/ natural gas Naphtha/ natural gas Allocation Fossil product Bio-naphtha/ biogas Basic organic chemicals Biomass balanced product Biomass Bio-based raw materials (e.g. sugars, ethanol) Dedicated product 10

11 Mass balance approach 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 11

12 Three pathways to a renewables-based product portfolio Renewable Raw Materials Mass balanced products Polyurethanes Acronal Dispersions Bio-based drop-ins 1,4-Butanediol Succinic acid Products only accessible from renewables Oleochemicals FDCA... 12

13 Mass Balance Mass-balanced Acronal : DAW processes BASF dispersion in new brand CapaGeo Mass-balanced dispersion of BASF is processed in new interior paints 13

14 Drop-ins Drop-ins: Renewable BDO from biomass to bio-based textiles Biomass 1) Sugar conversion 2) Fermenter Renewable BDO, 100% bio-based Intermediate Bio-based textile fibers Development scale Campaigned production by external tollers Quality identical with petro BDO Produced additional downstream products (renewable PolyTHF ) Commercial scale Invest and set-up a fully integrated production Various feedstock under evaluation (1 st /2 nd gen) Current crude oil and BDO prices are challenging BDO market recovery and premium necessary Full commercial scale in 3-5 years subject to market acceptance 14

15 Products only accessible from renewables FDCA value chain: Platform for various new chemicals Sugar (Fructose) 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) Furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) Polyesters Polyamides Polyurethanes Bisaminomethylfuran (BAMF) Bishydroxymethylfuran (BHMF) 15

16 Partnering along the value chain: Key to establish bio-based chemicals Industries driving the development: Raw material suppliers Technology providers + Established chemical companies Large brand owners Chemical Solutions End consumer products Biomass Bio-based raw materials Bio-based platform chemicals 16

17 Partnering: Key to establish FDCA value chain Raw material suppliers Technology providers + Established chemical companies Large brand owners Intention to form a Joint Venture Fructose FDCA PEF Packaging With the planned joint venture BASF wants to combine Avantium s specific production technology and application know-how for FDCA and PEF with the expertise of BASF in market development and large-scale production in the business of intermediates and polymers. 17
