Running on sunshine
Jotun is stepping up the game on renewable energy. In Oman, the sun now provides the paints manufacturer with half of its energy needs.
In a recently published study, preventing steel from corroding is highlighted as one of the keys to a more sustainable future.
Jotun protects property. Our paints, coatings and solutions protect ships, buildings and infrastructure from degradation and corrosion. A key component in many of these assets is steel, the most common engineering material in the world.
However, steel production is highly energy intensive. In a recently published report, preventing steel corrosion – and thereby reducing the need for steel production – is highlighted as one of the keys to a more sustainable future.
Check out the following findings:

In Jotun, we believe that prolonging product life is one of our most important contributions to the world we live in. Remarkably enough, a 0.3 mm coating is enough to protect assets from corrosion. However, there is a huge job behind this thin layer – as you can see for yourself in the video above.

In Jotun, sustainability is all about those small green steps. A new program for reducing air leakages is having a huge impact on both CO2 emissions and energy consumption.
To help owners and operators improve hull efficiency to reduce emissions, Jotun’s HullKeeper programme offers trusted analytical and technical services, digital capability and ROV inspections.
