The article discusses the pivotal role of pump and compression technologies in industrial decarbonization efforts as part of the global push towards sustainability and achieving net zero emissions by 2050. It emphasizes the importance of diverse pumps in various carbon-cutting initiatives, especially in challenging applications such as biofuels, plastics recycling, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). The text highlights recent advancements in CCUS technologies, spurred by increased focus on combating the climate emergency and supported by government legislations like the US Inflation Reduction Act. By capturing and storing CO2 released from industrial processes, particularly in hydrocarbon facilities, CCUS solutions offer a pathway to decarbonize 'hard-to-abate' industries like cement and steel. The article also touches on the role of pumps in hydrogen production and the transformation of captured CO2 into a working fluid. Despite progress, the current number of operational CCUS facilities worldwide remains limited, indicating the need for significant expansion to meet net zero targets. The International Energy Agency's outlook underscores the necessity of increasing the deployment of CCUS facilities significantly by 2030 to capture a predicted 125 million tons of CO2 annually. The article concludes optimistically, pointing to the potential of the approximately 500 CCUS projects in development to provide new opportunities for the utilization of high-quality pumps in the industrial sector.
