With the continuous development of the economy, energy consumption is gradually increasing, and the reserves of solid and liquid fuels are constantly declining. The exploitation and utilization of renewable energy is urgent. As early as 2019, Warwick began to layout energy transformation, actively adapt to the development of the times, provide high-quality steel pipe products for the clean energy field with practical actions, and uniformly classify the business in energy transformation as "Warwick ® New energy ", practice the concept of low-carbon environmental protection with practical actions, and lead the high-quality development of the energy industry.
Valoruric ® New energy combines the products and services of Valluvik in hydrogen energy, CCUS, geothermal energy and solar energy, and constantly meets the application needs of customers in the field of new energy. For example, in the field of solar energy development, Vallurec has reached a cooperation with Nextracker, the smart solar tracker technology market. In this cooperation, Vallurec Industrial Pipe Co., Ltd. needs to provide 1050 tons of torque tubes and 1200 tons of cold rolled open profiles to a solar power plant in northeastern Brazil. The whole tracker structure is supported by steel tubes and open profiles, Steel pipes will be produced with pre coated galvanized steel coils, and profiles will be hot-dip galvanized to ensure a 25 year life cycle.
Taking solar energy as an example, among many clean energy sources, solar energy is pollution-free and does not pollute the environment. It is one of the cleanest energy sources and can be developed everywhere without development and transportation. Vallurec reached cooperation with Nextracker, the market leader of smart solar tracker technology, and won the first contract of the photovoltaic project in northeastern Brazil in May 2022. The solar power plant is planned to be launched at the beginning of 2023. Compared with the fixed tilt installation system, this technology will increase the revenue by 30% at most.
Nextracker contacted Vallurec Industrial Pipe Co., Ltd. to provide 1050 tons of torque tubes and 1200 tons of cold rolled open profiles to a solar power plant in northeastern Brazil. The torque tubes run through the whole row of panels to support the panels, enabling them to continuously follow the sun from east to west. The open profile interval is perpendicular to the ground and supports the torque tube. The whole tracker structure is supported by steel pipes and open profiles. The steel pipes will be produced with pre coated galvanized steel coils, and the profiles will be hot-dip galvanized to ensure a 25 year life cycle. Nextracker chose to cooperate with Vallurec because Vallurec is famous for providing high-quality steel pipe solutions, and the steel pipe quality fully conforms to international standards.
With the wide application of carbon sequestration technology, the industry has developed rapidly. In the context of the urgency of curbing carbon emissions, Vallurec has also reached a strategic cooperation with Neptune, an independent energy company. The two sides plan to carry out large-scale marine carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the North Sea of the Netherlands. The project will inject 120 million to 150 million tons of carbon dioxide into depleted oil wells, making an important contribution to improving global climate change.
Vallurec has always been committed to providing products and solution support in harsh environments. Relying on professional knowledge, efficient solutions and high-performance products, Vallurec has undertaken many complex energy projects. The path of energy transformation is long and difficult. In the future, Vallurec will continue to implement the green development strategy and form a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient new energy supply system.
