Trans­for­mation starts with Rutger

Rutger Leenknecht, 27, is an expert in carbon management at our Verbund site Antwerp, Belgium. Inspired by his grandfather, a chemistry professor, Rutger decided to become a chemical engineer. It all starts with chemistry. Chemistry is the industry of industries. Rutger is convinced that a significant contribution to society and environ­mental protection can be made here, at the beginning of the value chain. As part of the team, he is working to reduce green­house gas emissions such as CO2 and nitrogen dioxide in production. Coordi­nation between different production plants and supply units is crucial here Rutger wants to reuse the energy that one plant releases as a resource elsewhere. These optimi­zation measures help BASF to conti­nuously reduce the carbon foot­print and use resources efficiently.
