Baker Hughes, world leader in industrial gases, and Air Products, a hydrogen production company, announce their collaboration.
Together they seek to develop next-generation hydrogen compression.

Baker Hughes invests in projects in Canada and Saudi Arabia

Air Products will benefit from Baker Hughes’ advanced hydrogen compression and gas turbine technology.
NovaLT16 turbines will be deployed in Edmonton, Canada, in a carbon-neutral hydrogen energy complex.
Compression technology will be used in Saudi Arabia in the NEOM green hydrogen project.

Reducing the cost of hydrogen

Baker Hughes and Air Products will be collaborating on a number of hydrogen projects worldwide.
This work will enable them to develop next-generation hydrogen compression.
A process designed to reduce production costs and accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as a low-carbon fuel.

Accelerating the energy transition

This collaboration is essential to accelerate the global energy transition.
Indeed, this kind of technical innovation will encourage the large-scale deployment of hydrogen.
It is a key step towards the commercialization of this low-carbon energy.
Rod Christie of Baker Hughes says:

“Our collaboration with Air Products will be essential for a net-zero future.”

Through this partnership, Baker Hughes will be able to develop numerous hydrogen projects.
The company will also be able to revolutionize the market if it succeeds in developing its next-generation hydrogen compression technology.
