- 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
Carbon capture
Transforming the fossil fuel industry by building on existing infrastructure
As the name suggests, Carbon Capture Systems are a series of emerging technologies focused on the capture, transport, long-term storage, and utilization of carbon dioxide. Building on existing infrastructure, carbon capture aims to create sustainable practices within the fossil fuel industry and significantly reduce greenhouse emissions from as many sources as possible.
Current CCUS development projects are mainly found in the oil and gas industries. However, CCUS opportunities are being developed for a wealth of other industries and applications; everything from transportation vessels to cement and power plants.
Thanks to its durability, adaptability, and corrosion-resistance—not to mention its long lifespan and recyclability—sustainable stainless steel stands at the heart of every phase of the CCUS process.
Discover the ultimate stainless steel grades for CCUS
It is of vital importance that the chosen stainless steel grade is sufficiently durable and corrosion-resistant for the CCUS application in question. Discover the place where durability and adaptability meet in the Supra 316L, Forta DX 2205, and Forta SDX 2507 — proven to withstand the challenges of CCUS, and completely recyclable at end of product-life.
