“BASF wants to contribute to a world that provides a viable future with enhanced quality of life for everyone. Partnering with Bullfrog Power means BASF is helping to support community renewable energy projects across Canada.”
Bullfrog sources its electricity from a combination of wind and low-impact hydropower facilities across Canada. The use of this energy will see BASF reducing its carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 1,520 tons annually – the equivalent to removing 325 cars from the road.
“BASF’s partnership signifies that manufacturers in the supply chain increasingly see energy as a key input when making their products more sustainable,” said Ron Seftel, CEO, Bullfrog Power.
“As a global leader and major chemistry company in Canada, BASF is taking a proactive approach to addressing climate change by proactively committing to renewable electricity at its Canadian sites.”
