OCAS
Since 2019, OCAS’s expertise in alloy and coating design, metal surface engineering, non-standard testing and modelling has been supplemented with ENDURES’s knowledge on microbiologically influenced corrosion, antifouling and protective coatings. Despite the global pandemic, it is a good illustration how collaboration is beneficial to serve our customers through an integrated and multi-disciplinary approach. We take this opportunity to sincerely thank our customers and partners for their trust and the strong working together we had over the past challenging years.
The European green deal, as sustainable recovery mechanism from the COVID 19 pandemic, paves the road to the clean energy transition by focusing on the key principles that will help to reduce CO2 emissions. Electrification is the most dynamic pillar of the energy transition. At OCAS, we are developing electrical steels to serve this electrification. We furthermore support ArcelorMittal to draft the necessary investment files to anticipate the growing demand for these steels. With hydrogen being considered as the main decarbonisation alternative for the hardto-abate sectors, OCAS is working on the compatibility of steels and other metals with hydrogen and developing hydrogen resistant steel grades for the hydrogen economy. At the same time, we are designing new steel based solutions to build the backbone for the decarbonisation efforts to transport CO2
