The Department of Energy (DoE) awarded a $75,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to BASF Corporation under the Clean Energy Demonstrations grant program (CFDA 81.255). The purpose of this project is to optimize on-site syngas production from waste streams at BASF's oxo-alcohol manufacturing facility in Freeport, Texas via plasma gasification. This will reduce the facility's greenhouse gas and criteria air pollutant emissions by decreasing natural gas consumption and increasing the use of renewable power. The project aims to improve the carbon footprint of BASF's oxo-alcohol products, create permanent jobs, and benefit the local Freeport community through improved air quality. The project period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2029.
