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.
