Carbon Capture

Stainless steel for carbon capture

Carbon capture is already recognized as a fundamental step in achieving carbon neutrality as quickly and efficiently as possible. In many applications, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) can reduce carbon emissions down to almost nothing.  Having manifold requirements throughout every phase, the CCUS process demands a reliable and durable material: sustainable stainless steel.

Thorough research enables safety and sustainability 

The process of CCUS requires stainless steel at every turn — from capture and scrubbing to transport and in-transit storage. Outokumpu has teamed up with top gas and oil industry leaders to conduct extensive research and corrosion-testing, offering their in-depth expertise to uncover the perfect grades of stainless steel, tailor-made for all applications within CCUS.

Benefits of stainless steel for CCUS

Applications

  • Storage tanks for captured CO2 
  • Piping and tubing 
  • Pressure vessels in compression units and absorption columns 
  • Ductwork for transport, capture, and solvent scrubbers 
  • Heat exchangers for process streams 
  • Structural components in capture facilities

Benefits

  • High corrosion resistance to impurities and water drop out 
  • High corrosion resistance to amine and other solvents 
  • Maximum adaptability in high pressure, low temperature environments 
  • A variety of specially researched and tested grades available for every phase of CCUS
