Yes, AI can predict corrosion in CCUS infrastructure with high accuracy. CorrosionAI uses machine learning models trained on supercritical CO2 corrosion datasets to forecast degradation rates in capture plants, transport pipelines, and injection wells. By analyzing variables such as CO2 partial pressure, water content, temperature, and impurity levels (H2S, O2, NOx), CorrosionAI enables operators to maintain asset integrity while meeting EU Green Deal and IRA compliance targets.
