European Union Signs CBAM Regulation for Carbon-Intensive Imports Management

The co-legislators of the European Union have signed the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Regulation to fight against carbon-intensive imports. The CBAM, which will be implemented in a transitional phase starting from 1 October 2023, plans to assign a fair price to the carbon emissions associated with the production of carbonintensive goods entering the EU.

The European Union's co-legislators have recently signed the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Regulation, an initiative towards the EU's fight against carbon-intensive imports. The CBAM regulation will be implemented in a transitional phase starting from 1 October 2023, with importers required to report their emissions by 31 January 2024. The CBAM's core objective is addressing the issue of carbon leakage occurring due to the relocation of EUbased companies to countries with less stringent climate policies or replacement of EU products by carbon-intensive imports.

The CBAM plans to assign a fair price to the carbon emissions associated with the production of carbonintensive goods entering the EU, which will incentivize cleaner industrial production in non-EU countries. The CBAM's scope initially focuses on imports from sectors that face the highest risk of carbon leakage due to their carbon-intensive nature, like cement, iron and steel, aluminum, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen. However, it is projected that the CBAM will gradually cover over 50% of emissions in sectors regulated by the EU Emissions Trading System. From 1 January 2026, importers will be expected to declare their annual imports and the corresponding embedded greenhouse gas emissions, following which they will surrender the CBAM certificates, the price of which will be determined based on the weekly average auction price of EU ETS allowances. During CBAM's transitional phase, it will undergo a detailed functionality review along with a product scope assessment, to be concluded before the definitive system comes into force, along with a roadmap for their inclusion by 2030.

IGGL completes Asia's largest underwater hydrocarbon pipeline across Brahmaputra

Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited's (IGGL) has completed the construction of Asia's largest underwater hydro-carbon pipeline, connecting Jorhat and Majuli in Assam running below the Brahmaputra river, according to IGGL CEO, Mr. Ajit Kumar Thakur. The total length of HDD crossing across the Brahmaputra river is 5,780 metres.

Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited's (IGGL) CEO, Mr. Ajit

Kumar Thakur recently shared that IGGL has completed the construction of Asia's largest underwater hydro-carbon pipeline, connecting Jorhat and Majuli in Assam running below the Brahmaputra river. Mr. Thakur shared that this is the longest river crossing by any hydrocarbon pipeline of size 24-inch diameter and above in Asia and the second longest in the world. The unique HDD river crossing was executed by intersection method, where two HDD rigs simultaneously started drilling from the two sides of Brahmaputra with intersection of the two drilling heads in the middle at 30 metres beneath the river bed.

The project involved the challenging task of laying a 24-inch diameter hydrocarbon pipeline beneath the mighty Brahmaputra river by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) method. The total length of HDD crossing across the Brahmaputra river is 5,780 metres. The pipeline was laid in three separate HDD sections of length 1000 m, 4080 m and 700 m. The next step involves the tie-in of the three sections at two points, located at 15 m and 8 m below Natural Ground Level (NGL). "With the completion of the Brahmaputra HDD, IGGL has achieved more than 71 percent physical progress of the NEGG Project and will be able to complete the Guwahati-Numaligarh section of the project by February 2024'', Thakur said.

T&H Lemont Ships Second TIG Mill for Stainless Steel Pipe Production

Custom manufacturer T&H Lemont has shipped its second TIG mill, out of two identical mills, to their longtime stainless steel pipe producing customer. The mills produce pipe diameters from 3/8 to 1.050 inches. The investment includes entry equipment for continuous operation.

Apr 12, 2023

T&H Lemont has recently shipped the second of two TIG mills, to a longtime stainless steel pipe producing customer. These two identical mills, T&H Lemont model number WU11M-12, produce pipe diameters from 3/8 to 1.050 inches. The pipe goes into products it makes for applications such as commercial HVAC, industrial refrigeration, power generation, and industrial processing. The durable, robust pipe from its mills supports the company's reputation for manufacturing equipment that is built to last. The wall thickness range is from 0.020 to 0.065 inch. The mill is designed to run at a maximum of 50 feet per minute.

The investment includes entry equipment for continuous operation.

A double uncoiler, a shear end welding unit, and an accumulator provide a buffer so production doesn't stop. It has a six-roll, water- cooled weld box and an inert gas system to protect and cool the weld. Furthermore, a camera-based weld seam tracking unit provides lateral

and vertical positioning of the tricathode welding carriage. Each welding torch also has an independent adjustment and the system uses arc voltage control (AVC) for welding parameter stability. The flying cutoff system is a hybrid. It uses a carriage drive system from a T&H Lemont model FCO-125 cutoff system and a rotary cutting head specified by the customer. Operator conveniences include single-point adjustments on the vertical roll stands, lubrication points on the operator side of the mill, and a welding control system installed within view of the weld box, allowing the operator to observe the welding process while making adjustments on the fly.
