SeAH Steel wins contract to supply pipes for UK carbon capture project

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. The company said its pipes meet demanding physical and chemical requirements, including resistance to brittle fracturing at temperatures as low as minus 196 degrees Celsius and corrosion resistance under the high pressures of deep-sea environments.
