Ngenxa yezindleko eziphezulu zamandla nezinto zokusetshenziswa, ezikhuliswe kakhulu yimpi e-Ukraine, inkampani enkulu yamakhemikhali i-BASF imemezele uchungechunge "lwezinyathelo zekhonkrithi" embikweni wayo wakamuva webhizinisi ka-2022 ukuthuthukisa ukuncintisana. Enkulumweni yakhe ngenyanga edlule, uSihlalo weBhodi uDkt. Martin Brudermüller umemezele ukuhlelwa kabusha kwesitshalo saseLudwigshafen kanye nezinye izindlela zokunciphisa izindleko. Izonciphisa imisebenzi engaba ngu-2,600 njengengxenye yemizamo yayo "yokushintsha usayizi".
Nakuba i-BASF ibike ukwanda ngo-11.1% kokuthengiswa kwayo ku-€87.3bn ngo-2022, lokhu kwanda kwakubangelwa kakhulu “ukwenyuka kwamanani cishe kuzo zonke izindawo ngenxa yokwenyuka kwamanani ezinto zokusetshenziswa kanye namandla.” Izindleko zikagesi ezengeziwe ze-BASF ezingama-€3.2 billion zithinte imali engenayo yokusebenza emhlabeni wonke, kanti iYurophu ibambe cishe amaphesenti angama-84 okwanda. I-BASF ithe ithinte kakhulu indawo yayo yokuhlanganiswa eneminyaka engu-157 ubudala eLudwigshafen, eJalimane.
I-BASF ibikezela ukuthi impi e-Ukraine, izindleko eziphezulu zezinto zokusetshenziswa kanye namandla eYurophu, ukukhuphuka kwamanani kanye nezinga lenzalo, kanye nokwehla kwamandla emali kuzoba nomthelela omkhulu emnothweni wonkana kuze kube ngu-2023. Umnotho womhlaba kulindeleke ukuthi ukhule ngo-1.6% omncane ngo-2023, kanti ukukhiqizwa kwamakhemikhali emhlabeni wonke kulindeleke ukuthi kukhule ngo-2%.
“Ukuncintisana kwaseYurophu kuthinteka kakhulu yimithethonqubo eyeqile, izinqubo zokunikeza amalayisense ezihamba kancane nezikahulumeni, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, izindleko eziphezulu zezinto eziningi zokukhiqiza,” kusho uBrudermüller esethulweni sakhe. “Konke lokhu kuvimbela ukukhula kwemakethe eYurophu uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izifunda. Amanani aphezulu kagesi okwamanje abeka umthwalo owengeziwe enzuzweni nasekuncintisaneni eYurophu,” esho, ngaphambi kokuchaza imizamo ye-BASF yokubhekana nenkinga ekhulayo.
Uhlelo lokonga, oluhlanganisa ukudilizwa okukhulunywe ngakho ngenhla, luhlanganisa ezinye izinguquko zokusebenza. Uma sekuqediwe, kulindeleke ukonga okungaphezu kwama-euro ayizigidi ezingu-500 ngonyaka ezindaweni ezingakhiqizi. Cishe ingxenye yokonga izoya esikhungweni saseLudwigshafen.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi i-BASF izovala isitshalo se-TDI eLudwigshafen kanye nezitshalo zokukhiqizwa kwe-DNT kanye ne-TDA precursors. Embikweni wayo, i-BASF iphawula ukuthi isidingo se-TDI asizange sihlangabezane nokulindelekile, ikakhulukazi eYurophu, eMpumalanga Ephakathi nase-Afrika. (Le nhlanganisela isetshenziswa ezicelweni ezifana nokukhiqizwa kwe-polyurethane.) Ngenxa yalokho, i-TDI complex eLudwigshafen ayisetshenziswa ngokwanele kuyilapho izindleko zamandla nezinsiza zikhuphuka kakhulu. Amakhasimende aseYurophu azoqhubeka nokuthola ama-TDI ngokuthembekile avela ezimbonini ze-BASF e-US, eNingizimu Korea naseShayina, kusho i-BASF.
I-BASF iphinde yamemezela ukuvalwa kwesitshalo se-caprolactam eLudwigshafen, esinye sezitshalo ezimbili ze-ammonia kanye nezitshalo zomanyolo ezihlobene, kanye nezitshalo ze-cyclohexanol, i-cyclohexanone kanye ne-soda ash. Ukukhiqizwa kwe-adipic acid nakho kuzoncipha.
Imisebenzi yokukhiqiza engaba ngu-700 izothinteka yizinguquko, kodwa uBrudermüller ugcizelele ukuthi ucabanga ukuthi laba basebenzi bazofuna ukusebenza emafektri ahlukene e-BASF. I-BASF ithe lezi zinyathelo zizoqaliswa kancane kancane ekupheleni kuka-2026 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi zinciphise izindleko ezizinzile ngaphezu kwama-€200 million ngonyaka.
