Key Takeaways
BASFY signed a long-term butane supply deal with AltaGas to support its production operations.
The deal enables BASFY to diversify feedstock and access faster shipping routes to Asia.
AltaGas gains a high-quality customer and reduces export platform risk through the agreement.
BASF SE (BASFY - Free Report) entered into an agreement with AltaGas Ltd. to secure the supply of butane that will be used as feedstock in BASF’s rising production footprint in Asia. BASF Intertrade AG signed the deal, agreeing to procure butane via AltaGas and Royal Vopak’s Ridley Island Energy Export Facility (REEF), which is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The large-scale facility is an open-access terminal for liquefied petroleum gas and bulk liquids that is currently under construction.
The agreement will enable BASFY to source competitive and reliable butane from Western Canada while also diversifying its cracker feedstock portfolio in the Asia Pacific. With AltaGas’ strong infrastructure, BASF will not just have shorter lead times and reliable shipping deliveries to Asia but also strengthen its ties with Canada and Asia.
