SeAH Steel said on the 11th it won a carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) project underway in the Teesside region of the United Kingdom and will supply about 1,750 tons of stainless steel pipes.
Led by the British government, the project is a regional decarbonization effort that captures carbon dioxide emitted when power plants generate electricity and stores it permanently in the deep sea. SeAH Steel's pipes will be used in key processes that refine and transport captured carbon dioxide from low-carbon gas combined-cycle power plants and deep-sea storage facilities in gaseous and liquid states.
SeAH Steel said its pipes can withstand an ultra-low temperature of minus 196 degrees and high-pressure deep-sea conditions. It added that the 50–66-inch large-diameter pipes are produced in 12-meter lengths, twice as long as standard products, to reduce weld joints and improve process stability.
SeAH Steel plans to use this order as a springboard to secure additional related projects and long-term supply opportunities, solidifying its position in the global energy transition value chain.
A SeAH Steel official said, "It is a meaningful achievement that SeAH Steel's CCUS pipes were selected in the United Kingdom, a global leader in decarbonization," adding, "We will pursue sustainable growth in the energy transition infrastructure market based on overwhelming quality competitiveness and synergy with our global local affiliates."
