Chemical Giant Could Close Plant due to Gas Shortage – report

German chemicals major BASF may be forced to halt production at the world's biggest chemicals plant in Ludwigshafen, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing shortages of cheap and abundant Russian gas.

According to the report, BASF has used Russian natural gas for years to generate power and as feedstock for products that make it into toothpaste, medicine, and cars. However, dwindling Russian gas supplies are proving a threat to the company's vast manufacturing hub, it says.

BASF estimates that if the chemical complex continues to receive more than 50% of the maximum volume of gas, operations could be continued. Otherwise, the work of the complex will have to be stopped.

Chinese censors scrambled to remove an apparently misleading comment from a Communist Party official reported by state media that suggested Beijing will continue its controversial “Zero Covid” policy for another 5 years.

After a predictably furious backlash on social media, Beijing Daily removed the reference to 5 years and described it as an “editing error”.
