Why CO₂ infrastructure is crucial now

The global energy transition is under enormous pressure: rising CO₂ costs, regulatory requirements and geopolitical uncertainties are forcing industrial companies to act.

Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is emerging as a key technology for sustainably reducing emissions – particularly in energy-intensive sectors.

However, one central question is increasingly coming into focus for engineers and technical procurement:
How can captured CO₂ be transported and stored safely?

Understanding CCUS: From capture to safe storage

The CCUS process chain is complex – and only as strong as its weakest link:

1. CO₂ capture
2. Compression and processing
3. Transport (e.g. pipeline, tank container, ship)
4. Storage or reuse

Whilst capture technologies are already established, new challenges are emerging in the areas of transport and storage.

Challenge: Safely managing pressurised CO₂

For transport, CO₂ is often liquefied and stored under pressure. This places high demands on all components used:

• Leak-free – no emissions, no product loss
• Safe handling during filling and unloading
• Resistance to pressure and temperature fluctuations
• Reliability in continuous operation

For operators, this means: every interface in the system must function with absolute reliability – particularly the valve technology.

Core function: Safe filling and emptying of CO₂ vessels

Whether tank containers, pressure vessels or mobile storage units – the 15C02 ensures:

• Controlled and safe filling
• Reliable unloading without the risk of leakage
• Stable processes even under changing operating conditions

Technical advantages at a glance

The Ambient Ball Valve 15C02 is particularly impressive due to:

• High tightness → minimisation of CO₂ emissions
• Robust construction → suitable for demanding industrial environments
• Operational reliability → designed for pressure applications in the CO₂ sector
• Precise controllability → safe process control during loading and unloading

Why valve technology is the key to CO₂ safety

In practice, it is clear that it is not large-scale technology that determines the success of CCUS – but the reliability of the individual components.

Valves play a critical role here, as they form the interface between storage, transport and handling.

An unreliable valve means:

• A risk to people and the environment
• Production interruptions
• High follow-up costs

With the 15C02, HEROSE addresses precisely these critical issues.

A step towards a safe CO₂ future

The expansion of CO₂ infrastructure is inconceivable without safe transport and storage solutions.

With the Ambient Ball Valve 15C02, HEROSE delivers a practical solution for precisely this application area – developed for today’s requirements and tomorrow’s scaling.
