Foxconn and Pace CCS have launched a partnership to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology by combining Foxconn’s precision manufacturing expertise with Pace CCS’s specialized design knowledge. The collaboration includes a new laboratory to test a chemical scavenger, already used in other industries, aimed at preventing corrosive reactions in CO₂ streams that can damage CCS infrastructure. Carbon capture is critical to achieving net-zero emissions, with global demand estimated at eight billion metric tons of CO₂ annually, requiring trillions of dollars in investment. Corrosion, erosion, and clogging caused by chemical reactions in CO₂ streams, including the formation of sulfuric and nitric acids, remain key technical challenges for the sector. Matthew Healey, managing director of Pace CCS, said the solution could turn a major technical challenge into a manageable operational expense, accelerating CCS deployment worldwide. Foxconn Chief Environment Officer Ron R. T. Horng added that the collaboration demonstrates how cross-industry partnerships can drive meaningful progress against climate change.
