Its role Funder
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK; German: Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz) is Germany’s federal government ministry responsible for economic policy, industrial strategy, energy policy, and climate action. It designs and implements policy frameworks to enhance competitiveness while advancing the energy transition and climate neutrality, coordinating with other federal ministries, the Länder, the European Union, and international partners. The ministry is headquartered in Berlin, with additional offices in Bonn.
For the chemical industry, BMWK shapes the regulatory and market environment affecting energy costs and security of supply, decarbonization pathways, deployment of renewables and hydrogen, carbon management, and circular-economy objectives. It also manages funding and state-aid instruments that support R&D, process efficiency, and industrial transformation projects, and sets guidelines on trade, investment screening, and competition policy that influence chemical value chains in Germany and across the EU.
Also known as German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection and Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz.

The 30 MW electrolyzer has begun testing alongside the project’s other components, with full commissioning scheduled for 2027.
Heat pump under construction will use waste heat and renewable electricity to generate ~500,000 t/yr CO₂‑free steam (50 MW), cutting ~100,000 t CO₂/yr for formic acid production; commissioning mid‑2027.
The project will cut 100,000 tons of CO2 annually, using renewable energy for steam production, with completion set for mid-2027.
The program targets emerging markets, focusing on circular packaging, plastics recycling, and aerospace, leveraging Evonik's expertise for innovative solutions and growth opportunities.
The heat pump will cut emissions by 100,000 tons annually, using waste heat and renewable energy, with commissioning set for 2027. The project receives up to €310 million in government funding.
The new furnace at BASF's Ludwigshafen site uses renewable electricity to cut CO2 emissions by 90%, supported by a €14.8M German grant, aiming for industrial market maturity.
Revenue fell 23% year‑on‑year; continuing-operations profit excluding non-recurring provisions was SAR 1.30bn; sale of Hadeed drove non-recurring losses; $6.4bn Fujian JV approved with 1.8Mtpa ethylene cracker.
The plant will use 6 MW of renewable energy to cut CO2 emissions by 90%. Funded by the German government, it aims to start in 2023, testing direct and indirect electric heating methods.
