In 2023, BASF and Yunnan Yuntianhua Co., Ltd., a China-based fertilizer manufacturer, launched a pilot project in China to verify the reduction of CO₂ equivalent emissions (CO₂e) from the use of Yuntianhua’s stabilized urea fertilizer containing BASF's urease inhibitor Limus^®. The pilot verified that Yuntianhua reduced roughly 46,584 tons of CO₂e emissions by using Limus-treated fertilizer versus untreated fertilizer. This estimate is based on Yuntianhua’s sales of Limus-stabilized urea during the pilot. These results not only contribute to climate-smart agriculture initiatives in China, but they also demonstrate successful project implementation, enabling expansion opportunities globally.
