President Net Zero Accelerator
BASF
Lars Kissau studied Chemistry in Freiburg and Business Administration in Hagen, Germany. After receiving his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Max-Planck-Institute in Dortmund in 2002 he joined BASF in 2003. After various management positions in Germany, Singapore and Shanghai, he has been leading BASF’s Net Zero Accelerator unit since 2022. The Net Zero Accelerator focuses on implementing and accelerating projects on low-carbon production technologies, the circular economy and renewable energies to achieve global CO2 reduction targets.
Hydrogen demand is characterised by cautious growth, as high production costs, underdeveloped infrastructure, and market immaturity pose significant challenges to securing consistent offtake agreements and broader market adoption. Stimulating demand for low-carbon hydrogen remains a key challenge, particularly in sectors such as transportation, industry, and heating. Supportive policies and financial incentives to promote the adoption of hydrogen technologies will pave the way for market activation but will only take effect if public-private partnerships are established to develop hydrogen infrastructure. Collaboration amongst industry stakeholders is key to establish standardised offtake agreements and supply chain mechanisms that ensure reliable and affordable hydrogen supply.
Attendee insights:
Gain a better understanding of the mechanisms, policies and strategies to expedite uptake as well as what will be required to overcome commercial barriers, foster market growth, and ensure security of supply for end-users through robust offtake agreements.

The chemical industry, a major contributor to global carbon emissions, faces significant challenges in decarbonisation. While technologies like electrification, green hydrogen, and carbon capture, are driving emissions reductions, cross-sector partnerships will be critical to maintain momentum. Achieving net zero in this sector requires strong collaboration between industries, governments, NGOs, and IGOs to scale sustainable practices. By fostering global cooperation, the industry can overcome technical and regulatory barriers, accelerating the transition to a low-carbon future.
Attendee insights:
Join an engaging discussion that highlights how diverse perspectives from the corporate sector and non-profit associations can unite to drive meaningful change in one of the heavy-emitting sectors: the chemical industry.
