Global seamless pipes & tubes leader Vallourec group has become a corporate member of the International Geothermal Association, which has nearly 5000 members in more than 65 countries. Vallourec has extensive experience in providing tubular solutions in the most complex environments (corrosion, high temperature, etc. Its wide range of corrosion-resistant materials can cope with hot and highly corrosive geothermal fluids (H2S, CO2). The Group is also actively involved in developing new technical solutions (materials and services) that will facilitate the development of this energy, such as vacuum-insulated tubes THERMOCASE

The International Geothermal Association is the leading global platform supporting the development of geothermal energy. It is committed to making this energy a real game changer and contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No 7, to ensure access to reliable, sustainable, modern and affordable energy services for all. To achieve this, the IGA has a vast network of scientists, researchers, industrialists, students, international, national and local organizations. Through this community, the IGA aims to encourage, facilitate and promote the research, development and use of geothermal resources worldwide. The aim is to encourage entrepreneurs to use clean technologies and to share scientific and technical information, but also, among other things, to step up the technological agenda and the definition of standards with industrial partners.

The objective of the IGA and its members is to promote technologies related to the use of heat, geothermal exchanges, cooling techniques, etc. The IGA has set up several working groups to discuss standards and practices, and Vallourec is participating in them.
