New technologies and innovative system solutions enable state-of-the-art and economically efficient construction. BASF's research and development units are also involved in this field in a variety of ways.  |

High oil prices and finite resources of this fossil raw material are the factors that are prompting BASF to seek alternatives. How soon can manufacturers switch to other raw materials? What are the raw materials of the future? Are natural gas and biomass viable alternatives today? Or is coal about to make a comeback? |

What will we be eating tomorrow? What trends will determine our diet in the future? What new methods will be able to provide sufficient food in all the regions of the earth? What new processes and products will assist us in the future manufacture of high quality foods? |

The prognoses for global energy consumption indicate that energy demand will continue to rise in a linear fashion and that oil will remain the most important source of energy. It is therefore important to treat fossil energy sources as responsibly as possible. Here, BASF is making an important contribution in two ways: On the one hand it is continuing to restrict its own consumption of fossil fuels, and on the other hand its products play a significant role in saving energy. |

Rarely has a new technology attracted so much interest within a few years: Almost all the media regularly report on the latest research findings. The world of economy and finance is also placing high hopes in its innovative potential. What is meant is nanotechnology - widely perceived as one of the key technologies of the 21st century. These tiny particles also play a major role at BASF. |

|
BASF sees biotechnology and genetic engineering as key technologies in the 21st century. They allow numerous innovations that are either difficult or impossible to achieve by conventional means. Through the responsible application of biotechnology, BASF is expanding its leading role with products in the areas of agriculture and nutrition. |

Traveling to work, transporting goods, taking a trip into the country - the reasons for mobility are endless. The main thing is to arrive at the destination safely, quickly and comfortably - and under economically, ecologically and socially acceptable conditions. All these factors distinguish sustainable mobility. For BASF, this represents both a mission and an obligation, since chemistry can make valuable contributions to achieving these aims. |
