Hydrogen technologies - challenge
The Challenge

The growing demand of cleaner, safer and more efficient energy requires the adoption and deployment of different energy mix

Hydrogen (H2) is uniquely positioned among energy carriers to serve a range of functions in a low-carbon economy with important applications in heating, mobility, power generation, and especially to reduce emissions from hard-to-abate sectors. 

Despite significant progress, much more needs to be done to scale hydrogen’s impact on achieving net-zero emissions goals.



OUR APPROACH

We bring state-of-the-art technologies today, investing in new areas of hydrogen value chain to advance long-term energy technology solutions

Hydrogen has an important role in balancing the energy system of the future as a complementary solution for decarbonization. Our technology portfolio spans across the hydrogen value chain.



Hydrogen Production

Production

Baker Hughes have over 100 years of experience working with hydrogen. We built our first hydrogen reciprocating compressor in 1915.

For green hydrogen production, we are moving forward with Solid Oxide and AEM electrolyzers.

For turquoise hydrogen, we are jointly developing breakthrough pyrolysis technology to decarbonize natural gas.

Hydrogen Transportation

Transportation

Baker Hughes have the experience and complete portfolio in compression technology for different production sizes. As an established leader in compression technology, our High-Pressure Ratio Compressors (HPRC) provide significant improvements in overall green H2 plant footprint, reliability, availability, and weight.

Hydrogen Utilization

Utilization

In 2009, Baker Hughes built the first turbine in the world to run on 100% hydrogen for the Fusina Hydrogen Power Project in Italy.

Our technology is commercially available today for applications with various levels of blended fuel gas from 10% and up to 100%. It can be integrated and adapted to work with existing gas infrastructure.
