Lukas Mayr BASF SE

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Swift and resolute action is needed to ensure that the targets agreed in the Paris Climate Agreement can be achieved. BASF stands by this responsibility. We are working hard to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Our goal is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We aim to be the preferred chemical company to enable our customers’ green transformation. For this purpose, new process technologies, new raw material sources and new forms of energy supply are inevitable. How to cleverly combine existing assets, technologies, and infrastructure with innovative approaches to establish cost-effective, fast and sustainable transition concepts is defined in BASF’s “Winning Ways” strategy.

As the world accelerates its transition to a low-carbon future, new technologies and cross-sector partnerships are redefining how we generate, store, and utilise energy. This panel brings together thought leaders from academia, research, and industry to explore the frontiers of energy innovation from sustainable fuel chemistry and decarbonisation pathways to enabling policy and infrastructure. The discussion will highlight how Singapore and its partners are pioneering collaborative models that integrate science, engineering, and policy to move decisively beyond fossil fuels.
