“CCS Industry to be Led by Pace CCS in Developing New Corrosion Guideline”

Pace CCS commissioned by the Energy Institute to develop new corrosion management guidelines for the CCS industry.

LONDON, UK, October 20, 2025 – The Energy Institute has commissioned Pace CCS, the global leader in CCS project design, to develop a vital new guideline on corrosion management for the carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCS) industry. The new “Good Practice Guideline” will provide a structured framework to help operators manage the unique and high-risk corrosion challenges posed by impure CO2 streams.

Of particular concern to the industry, trace impurities can combine to form highly corrosive acids, threatening the integrity of pipelines, storage tanks, and wells. This new guideline aims to address these vulnerabilities and provide essential knowledge to ensure the safe and efficient development of CCS infrastructure.

Pace CCS has a long-standing collaboration with the Energy Institute, having previously researched and published their guidance on hazard analysis for CCS facilities. The company’s Managing Director, Matthew Healey, stated: “Asset integrity is the most critical technical challenge facing the emerging CCS industry. This guideline draws on our unparalleled experience and expertise with CCS project complexities to tackle this core uncertainty, ensuring the industry can deliver safe and reliable long-term performance for global decarbonization.”

The Energy Institute’s Upstream Technical Manager, Dr. Cameron Stewart, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, saying: “We are delighted to have Pace CCS join the Industry Steering Group to help us draft a key new piece of international good practice guidance detailing corrosion and broader asset integrity management of CCS for the global industry.”

The Energy Institute is a leading London-based professional body for the energy sector, developing and sharing knowledge, skills, and good practice to accelerate the transition to a safe, secure, and sustainable energy system. Its mission is to provide a platform for expertise across the energy landscape, enabling members and the public to make informed decisions on energy issues.

Pace CCS, based in London and Kuala Lumpur, has experience with well over 100 CCS projects worldwide. The company’s Managing Director, Mark Ames, can be contacted for media inquiries at mark@paceccs.com or +44 7714 137309. For more information about Pace CCS, visit paceccs.com.
