Energy: Carbon-Free

The pioneering spirit is a critical part of our technical and engineering DNA, which has led us to energy "firsts" such as seals in the world's first subsea gas compression system and solutions for extreme environments in deepwater, HPHT, floating production, cryogenic transfer, and hydrogen technology. Other notable "firsts" include qualifying Omniseal® spring-energized seals in the world's first Liquefied Hydrogen (LH2) loading arm in the receiving terminal at Kobe, Japan; and collaborating on "Northern Lights," the world's first cross-border and open-source CO2 transport and storage infrastructure network. By partnering with key companies in the hydrogen value chain, together we are developing advanced sealing solutions and material technologies for future energy sources.

A high priority is decreasing global emissions and addressing the impact of climate change. Our team is dedicated to decarbonating the energy sector through bespoke materials and sealing technologies, solving challenges of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), ammonia transfer, and other carbon-free applications. 

Through repeated internal testing, our experts have gained practical knowledge of the requirements needed for new applications. This meticulous scientific process has enabled us to better guide our customers and engineer reliable and precision solutions capable of operating in a wide variety of extreme conditions in gaseous or liquid hydrogen, electrolyte solutions, and 100% carbon dioxide. We remain committed to solving technical sealing and material challenges and delivering renewable energy and breakthrough decarbonization technologies.
