CCUS

Using polymer pipelines safely and reliably in an energy transmission network requires a solid understanding of how the materials will be affected when exposed to CO2 at a range of different processing conditions. What happens when CO2 pressure, temperature, and mechanical loading – or all three – shift in the field? What kind of material...

As low-carbon energy options continue to evolve, EWI has been exploring related challenges including the qualification of new materials for hydrogen service, concerns related to legacy infrastructure conversion, and thermophysical modeling of impurity interactions. A year ago, we inaugurated our Environmental Testing Laboratory, focused on the evaluation of material properties under exposure to high-pressure, gaseous...

Ensuring a successful infrastructure for a future carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) system depends on the ability to understand the impurities inherent in various CO2 streams. In EWI’s CO2 environmental testing lab, efforts are well underway to create tools for assessing and modeling the impact of various impurities in a range of CO2 streams....
