John Crane's Type 28 dry gas seal, introduced in 1976, has transformed gas compression and is now crucial for decarbonization in the oil and gas sector. The technology eliminates oil systems, reducing fire risk and improving efficiency.

Retrofits from wet to dry seals deliver immediate emissions reductions, as evidenced by a UAE project achieving a 97% cut in CO₂ emissions. As the UAE targets Net Zero by 2050, advancements in sealing technology, digital monitoring, and R&D for hydrogen and CO₂ applications are vital for sustainable operations.
