BASF agrees to 15-year gas supply deal with China's ENN
4/5/2024
(Reuters) - German chemicals giant BASF said it had agreed to buy natural gas from Chinese gas company ENN Energy Holdings under a 15-year supply contract.
ENN will supply the fuel to BASF's integrated chemicals complex in Zhanjiang in Guangdong province, BASF said in a brief statement posted on its WeChat platform, without specifying the volume of the deal.
Under the agreement, ENN will invest and build a gas pipeline to supply the BASF plant.
"Natural gas is a key fuel and feedstock for both the construction and operation stage of the Zhanjiang base," Marko Murtonen, general manager of the Guangdong venture was cited as saying.
The $10.8-B chemical complex, BASF's third-largest globally once complete, is due to be fully operational by 2030.
