Why more research on corrosion protection leads to lower greenhouse gas emissions

EUROCORR 2025, the leading international conference for corrosion science and technology, takes place from September 7-11 in Stavanger, Norway. Experts from around the world work together to discover how to better protect components from corrosion. Effective protection extends the durability of components and significantly reduces the need for raw materials as well as emissions of greenhouse gases. “Protecting metals is an important topic in all areas of the industrial value chain. To minimize damage, for example from rust, we need interdisciplinary collaboration to research and develop new technologies and processes,” said Dr. Patrick Keil, corrosion protection expert at BASF Coatings. He is a senior executive of the organization that runs the EUROCORR conference series.

Stargate Hydrogen uses BASF’s Ultrason® for lightweight and durable frames in its Stellar electrolyzer stacks

The electrolyzer manufacturer Stargate Hydrogen, Estonia, is now using BASF’s Ultrason® to manufacture the frames in its stacks used for alkaline water electrolyzers (AWE). The polysulfone (PSU) Ultrason® S replaces metals such as nickel, resulting in significantly lighter stacks. This substitution is possible because BASF’s high-performance thermoplastic offers high temperature and chemical resistance also in harsh alkaline conditions. It can withstand high stack pressures due to excellent compression strength. As Ultrason® can be injection-molded, it provides greater design flexibility for easier functional integration than metal. The collaboration between Stargate Hydrogen and BASF has yielded an exceptional result: the pressurized stacks of the Stellar series are designed for long operational lifespans, supporting reliable hydrogen production, and reducing downtime and maintenance costs. This durability enhances the economic feasibility of green hydrogen production, making it a cost-effective solution.
