BASF TotalEnergies' petrochemicals facility earns International Sustainability and Carbon Certification

HOUSTON and PARIS, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BASF TotalEnergies Petrochemicals facility ? a 60/40 joint venture between BASF and TotalEnergies, based in Port Arthur, Texas ? has obtained the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS).
