Large carbon dioxide capture pipes await deployment at SeAH Steel’s Suncheon facility in South Jeolla Province. Courtresy of SeAH Steel
SeAH Steel has secured a contract to supply approximately 1,750 metric tons of stainless steel pipes for a carbon capture project in Teesside, northern England, the company said Thursday, marking the Korean steelmaker's entry into Britain's government-backed decarbonization infrastructure push.
The Teesside project is part of the U.K.'s East Coast Cluster, one of the country's first large-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) initiatives.
CCUS technology captures carbon dioxide emitted during power generation or industrial processes and stores it permanently in deep geological formations rather than releasing it into the atmosphere.
SeAH Steel's pipes will be used in a gas-fired combined-cycle power plant to process and transport captured carbon dioxide in both gaseous and liquid states for deep-sea storage.
