Nippon Steel has taken a significant step towards sustainable energy by providing its low CO2 steel product, "NSCarbolex™ Neutral," for the "85 Degrees Renewables Bleiswijk" geothermal project in the Netherlands. This noteworthy partnership sees Nippon Steel, 85 Degrees Renewables (85 Degrees), and ITECO Oilfield Supply France SAS (ITECO) collaborating to reduce carbon emissions in the project's upstream production process.
85 Degrees Renewables is a pioneering geothermal company in the Netherlands, dedicated to clean energy development in Bleiswijk, the western region of the Netherlands. With a resolute commitment to transitioning to clean energy, 85 Degrees aims to deliver CO2-free energy and work towards the complete decarbonization of their entire supply chain. Nippon Steel is thrilled to supply the innovative "NSCarbolex Neutral" steel product for this geothermal endeavor, fostering a long-term partnership with 85 Degrees and ITECO in the Netherlands.
Furthermore, both 85 Degrees and ITECO have recognized the remarkable technical and commercial advantages of opting for 13% chrome steel seamless oil country tubular goods, a category to which "NSCarbolex Neutral" is applied. These 13% chrome products boast exceptional corrosion resistance, extending the operational lifespan of geothermal wells in corrosive environments. This, in turn, contributes to a reduction in the overall life cycle costs of the wells.
Nippon Steel's commitment extends beyond this collaboration, as they strive to assist their customers in decarbonizing their businesses and enhancing their market competitiveness. Through the supply of "NSCarbolex Neutral" and "NSCarbolex Solution," Nippon Steel aims to play a pivotal role in realizing a carbon-neutral society. These advanced products and solution technologies are designed to substantially reduce CO2 emissions, aligning with broader efforts to combat climate change.
Conclusion:
Nippon Steel's provision of "NSCarbolex™ Neutral" steel to the "85 Degrees Renewables Bleiswijk" geothermal project in the Netherlands is a noteworthy step towards cleaner energy production. This partnership with 85 Degrees Renewables and ITECO Oilfield Supply underscores their commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the project's upstream processes, promoting sustainability.
Notably, the use of "NSCarbolex Neutral" enhances corrosion resistance in geothermal wells, contributing to extended operational lifespans and reduced overall costs. Nippon Steel's dedication extends to assisting customers in their decarbonization efforts and increasing market competitiveness through innovative products and solutions, thereby contributing to the realization of a carbon-neutral society.
