BASF and AM Green intend to overseeing feasibility research on low-carbon chemical production in India along with a joint evaluation of potential technologies
BASF and AM Green have entered a memorandum of information (MoU) to collectively compare and increase commercial enterprise possibilities for low-carbon chemical compounds produced exclusively with renewable strength, and the corresponding price chains in India.
