Rewiring Industry for a New Era
summary
BMW is turning the Vision Circular concept into a production-ready model in about two years and targets roughly a 50% battery-electric fleet share, with measurable, tiered CO2 cuts (around 20/30/40% per car to 2030). BASF says it makes 45,000 products, is one of Germany’s largest electricity and gas users, and commits about €4 billion to decarbonize and sell lower-footprint feedstocks now. Both push cross-sector partnerships, supply-chain transparency via Katina X, and startup scale-up through recircular Republic; pilots work but higher costs and renewable energy scale-up remain bottlenecks.
