by Nicolas MoreauFueling the energy transition
With ETO, we’ve sought out some of the best internal and external sources we could find to start up our team of renewables experts. For now, we have created clusters around four resources: carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS); geothermal; hydrogen; and offshore wind, which complement our solar offer. We looked at each of these energies and assessed markets to figure out exactly how to best shift Vallourec fully into the mix.We have the expertise…
The global energy shift won’t come easy, though. After over a hundred years of relying on fossil fuels, the world faces great challenges in bringing low-carbon energies to the fore. Infrastructure must be developed across the board, and each specific energy comes with its own set of obstacles.…and tailored solutions
But we’re not just trying to copy and paste oil and gas tubes and services solutions into these new markets. Our objective is to adapt our broader knowledge to new applications. We know how to handle pressurized steam, for example. This could open up new perspectives for carbon capture services. We can adapt our tubular solutions for CO2 transport and injection and refigure our intelligent pipes for downhole monitoring and measurement, ensuring storage well integrity.About Nicolas Moreau
